Flowery Spring Manicure with Konad S9

Hey all,

Here's the konadicure I did this weekend. I don't usually like layering different colours of polish, but China Glaze's "Tantalize Me" is a cool duo-chrome pale lavender that is too transparent for my taste. I decided to try layering it over "Designer Satin", also by China Glaze, which is a deeper raspberry colour.

I like how the combo colour turned out, but I always feel when I layer a light colour over a darker one, I get a bit of streaking, or a dark rim at the top or edges. I tried to avoid that as much as possible.

Then I added Konad stamping in a flower pattern from IP S9 on the tips.

I used China Glaze "Millenium" which is a silver from their Khrome Collection that came out awhile back. I can't stop feeling amazed every time I use Khromes to stamp because they result in really bright, sharp designs.  The silver Special Konad polish really pales in comparison.

Do you like layering polishes?  What do you like to use as stamping polish?

Hope you liked this post, and have a super week!

South Pacific Blue - Konad S9

I read about this colour on Nihrida's Blog and was sooooo happy to suddenly spot it at my local Walmart!  Here it is in all its glory!  Application was good and this colour is so wicked....me loves it!  

Did my toes to match, but with a different design.  Warm weather = pedi, and pedi = flip flops.  Again, happiness!  

If you can find this colour, buy it.  Some of the Xtreme Wear polishes seem watery and lacking in pigment, but this one is a definite winner.  I bought one more that's a bright grass green, and I'm sure I'll get to that one soon.

Hope you enjoy this post, and the rest of the long weekend!
