Blue Bundle Monster 201

Dear readers,

Here is the manicure I've been wearing for the past few days.

I used Orly "Royal Navy" (2 coats) for the base colour.  Here's a pic in front of my bookshelf. I arranged my books according to spine colour.  I'm so conflicted about my books... I love books, but in the last year I've been reading off my beloved Kindle.  Books.  Kindle.  Books.  Kindle....they each have their pros. Kindle is much more practical, but there's just something about holding a book and looking at the cover and seeing them stacked up on your shelf...ah, I'm getting way off the topic of nails, aren't I?!

 I added stamping from BM 201 in "Millenium" by China Glaze.

In this one you can see I tried a different design on my pinkie first, but I changed my mind because that pattern, while pretty, didn't leave enough of the blue showing for what I wanted this time.

Holding a weird part of a phone case.  I like finding odd props for my photos.

That's it. You made it to the end of my post.
Have a great week everybody. Please remember to leave me your comments. I love reading them!

Gray Area Konadicure - m78

Hey everybody,

Here is the konadicure I am currently sporting.

It has Sally Hansen's "Gray Area" as the base.

I used plate m78, a favorite design of mine, that combines leopard and zebra prints.

I used the awesome China Glaze Khromes in "2030" and "Millenium" to add a silver/gold design.

And, as usual, I used Seche Vite Quick Dry topcoat to seal the design.

Please leave me a comment and follow my blog!

Party Time

This is the konadicure I made to wear to some family parties we attended this weekend. I wanted something that would go with a grey dress in the daytime and a fancy black dress for the evening.  This is what I ended up creating.

Here it is with different camera settings.  I'm holding a silver clutch my mom let me borrow.  I used China Glaze "Millenium" for the stamping. It is so awesome for that purpose! I used Revlon Top Speed in "Fire".  The black tips are "Black Out" by Sally Hansen.''

"Thinking of Blue"

I bought this polish a few months ago, and I finally got around to using it last night.  This is Sally Hansen's Complete Salon Manicure in "Thinking of Blue".  It's a deep colour that looks navy blue in some lights, and slightly purplish royal blue in other lighting.  I used China Glaze "Millenium" to stamp the pattern from IP M77.

I'm still really jazzed about how well the polishes from the C.G. Khromes collection work for stamping and show up so crisp and clear on dark colours.

Hope you enjoy the long weekend, fellow Canadians!
