Sinful Colors Mint Candy Apple with Konad flowers and rhinestones

This was my first time experimenting with two colours of Konad on the one design.

My neighbour (who reads my blog – hi Del!) was really interested in Konad and so she came over and I did her nails.

I started with three coats of Sinful Colours Mint Candy Apple (a favourite of mine) and then used a full nail Konad design.

 

Behold!

I used the Jungle Green Konad Princess Special Polish for the flower stems and the Psyche Pink for the flowers. Then I added some clear Konad rhinestones into the centres of the flowers.

 

 

She loved it! I’m a bit proud of it too, even though some of the designs are a bit wonky. I find it much harder to Konad on someone else’s nails, how about you?

 

By the way, the Konad Special Top Coat is SO worth it. So, SO worth it. It is super glossy and wears like STEEL. Each time I’ve used rhinestones on my mani’s I’ve dabbed some of their top coat on the bottom of the rhinestone and then pressed it onto the nail with tweezers, then I put the top coat over the whole nail. I don’t put it over the stone but kind of around the edges, if you know what I mean. The rhinestones have lasted at least three days which is amazing, especially for someone like me who is so rough with their nails.

Now my neighbour has gone and spent $150 on Konad stuff and Seche Vite Bwahahhaa.

Have you corrupted anyone nail-wise?

Sinful Colors with Konad roses

I made some really good choices with my last Cherry Culture order.

Like this one:

 

Sinful Colors’ Mint Apple.

 

This is such a pretty mint green. It was a dream to apply and took three coats to reach opacity. It was just gorgeous. It has a slight shimmer through it.

It also wore like a dream. I put this on on Sunday morning and didn’t take it off until Tuesday night. I only had one chip. ONE!!!

Of course, I had to practice my Konad-ing.

 

Pretty roses accent nails. Excuse the black bits, I originally was stamping star printed tips and screwed it up so the Konad polish stained my cuticles and fingers something fierce. It’s really strong!!

 

I loved this mani. It felt so feminine without being prissy. I’m not a very girly girl so it’s important for me to find the right balance!!!!

 

What do you think of the roses with this colour?

Cherry Culture Haul

What did I see on Thursday afternoon when I walked through the front door after work?

 

An army of polishes!!! My Cherry Culture haul arrived!!! My partner was home until 2 o’clock on Thursday because he had a call out at 2am and couldn’t go into work until later, so he unwrapped them all and lined them up for me so it was the first thing I’d see as I came in the door.

I literally squealed!!!
