Purple Fancy Flight

For this Konadicure I used an older colour - Orly's "Cashmere Cardigan" which is a light lavender - but more on the dusty bluish side.

Swirls - Konad m69

Butterflies - Konad m78

Stamping done in Konad Special Purple & Silver

And now in different lighting....

The butterflies barely showed up. Boo hoo...I need to get some China Glaze Khromes soooo badly for metallic silver/gold stamping! I can never find them in Canada....

Hope you enjoyed this konadicure. Let me know what you think of it.

Have a great weekend, everybody. (Yes, I know it's only Thursday, but we're almost there!)

Konad Flowers (m69) & Butterflies (m78)

OPI "Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees" (2 coats)

designs from m69 and m78 

stamping done in Revlon "Punch Chrome", Avon Mirror Shine "Polish" and "Glisten"

Yeah, so as you can see, I really went overboard with layering on this one. Guess it's suitable for going to watch fireworks tonight...lots of colours exploding all around.


Do you think this konadicure is too busy, or do you like it? I'm not sure how I feel...

I started with a polish that I actually really dislike. OPI's "Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees" is really thin and the pigment is almost gritty looking, though it dries smooth. I figured I could use it an a non-descript dark background for my metallic polishes that I really love using as stamping colours.

I decided to make each nail a little different, including some flowers and butterflies on each one, but varying the colour and position of the designs.

Hope you enjoy this wacky konadi, and enjoy your Victoria Day long weekend, my fellow Canadians! 

Royal Ribbons

Essie's "Wicked" with pattern from Konad IP m69 in Revlon "Punch Chrome".

Here's another shot...

Yep, you guessed it, one more pic...

So here are some shots of Essie's "Wicked" (2 coats) with the ribbon pattern from IP m69. I used a Revlon polish in "Punch Chrome" to do the stamping. I had read on some blogs about these old chrome finish polishes working great for stamping, and then I remembered I had one way back in the 80's, if I had to guess. Lo and behold, I went digging through my dusty stuff stowed way back under the bathroom sink, and what do I find...Revlon "Punch Chrome" still in perfect condition! AMAZING! So, after my heart rate went back to normal, I tried it out and the results were awesome (if I do say so myself). This konadicure may be a weird colour combo, but that's what happens when you "konadicure" - yeah, it's now a verb - late at night!

I also like to come up with different props to go in my pictures. This is a bottle of "Lovely" by the fashionable Sarah Jessica Parker. My hubby bought it for me in the airport on our way to Cuba last year, and surprised me with it when we got there. It's a soft, pretty scent that I've really grown to love, and it reminds me of the fun we had on that trip.
