OPI Ski Teal We Drop

As I mentioned in previous posts, I still have pictures I'd like to share even though they're months old.  This is one I did a looonng time ago, I can't even remember when. I used OPI Ski Teal We Drop then used Konad image plates m37 for the flowers and m36 for the butterfly with China Glaze 2030 as my stamping polish :)

Milani Wild Violet

Here's another one I did a couple weeks ago. I used Milani Wild Violet and Konad plate m36. Wild Violet looks better in person. It has a hint of magenta when light hits it. I just realized that I don't like how the light shines on my index finger. It looks like I messed up. Maybe it's just when the picture is small? Oh well :)

Since some of my friends have joined me with the whole nail polish and konad obsession, we have decided to start a new weekly tradition of doing our nails together. We usually get together at our friend Clare's house and bring food, eat and talk .. girls night in. We thought it would be fun to add nails to our things to do while we hang out. We had our first konad night last week on Thursday and getting together again tomorrow :) Here's a candid my sister Sha took with her cell.

From left to right: Jess, Clare, me, and Stef (missing from the picture: Sha since she's the one who took it, and Ria since she had work).

I had such a great time that night .. can't wait til tomorrow! :)

halloween nails

I was so busy with school last week and didn't have a chance to post up a picture of my halloween nails. I actually did them about a week before halloween and took a picture right after. Anyway, here's what I did ...

Orly Crush On You, Konad black, and m36.

On the day of halloween, I changed my nail polish and did a leopard print design to match my leopard costume (well, not really costume .. just ears and a tail.) I was busy that day and didn't have a chance to take a picture thinking I could take a picture the next day. Unfortunately, they already chipped the next day so I decided not to. Since I had a day off from school yesterday, I had time to do my nails. I used Zoya Demi as my base color. Then I mixed a small amount of Demi and a few drops of white konad polish to make it a bit lighter than the base color. I used the color I mixed for the net looking design (m57). Next, I used konad white for the flowers m35. For the butterfly (m36), I mixed konad white with a few drops of Demi, making it lighter than the net design. It wasn't hard doing this, just a bit more time consuming than the other manicures because of the mixing and all the different designs.
