Polka Dots - Konad m79


Orly "Snowcone"
China Glaze "White on White"
Konad designs from IP m79 in "Snowcone" and Konad Special White




Here is a cute pastel konadicure I did last night.  I waited until this morning to take photos, but it wasn't very sunny.  These were taken indoors, beside a window so at least I could use the daylight.

I decided to create an accent nail, which I did in white, using "Snowcone" to stamp the pattern so it would match the other nails which had "Snowcone" as the base colour.  I used the dots from m79 on most of the nails, and then thought the dots, lines and flower pattern on the same plate would pick up the dots and add something extra for the accent nail.

I'm really happy with how this turned out.  Please let me know how you like it, and enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Pink Taxi


Color Club "Lazer Pink"
White Tip - Sally Hansen "White On"
checkerboard from Konad IP m56 in Special Black

This is a konadicure I did when I first started learning how to use the system last spring. I have seen several variations on this theme on many different blogs.  Here I used Color Club's "Lazer Pink" which is a bit more neon in real life.  Then I painted a white tip - freehand.  I stamped the checkerboard pattern from m56 over the tip and finished it off with a line of silver striper polish.  


Why am I holding this brush?  Perhaps I intend to use it to hail a cab? Bad joke - okay, I know, I know.


Please leave me a comment.  I really appreciate the feedback.

Black & White & Red All Over


Avon Color Last Plus "Persian Red" #114
OPI "Black Onyx"
Konad IP m54 & m74




Sorry for the silly title, but when I was trying to think of what to call this konadicure, that kids' joke, "What's black and white and red (read) all over?" popped into my head. (The newspaper is the answer, in case you never heard that one.)


For this Konadicure, I wanted to feature mostly red nails with a bit of black and red. I used an old Avon colour which I found in still perfect condition. The colour was so even and opaque that I only needed one coat of "Persian Red" to get full coverage. Then I free-handed the black tip going on a diagonal, with the thicker part closer to the thumb. When that dried, I stamped the waffle-like grid pattern over the black tips. To do that I used Konad Special Polish in White on part of one of the full nail designs from IP m74.

Next, I added a few flowers from m57. On the white flowers, I added a dot of "Black Onyx". To make the black flower, I used Konad Special Polish in black, and then I added a dot of Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in "White On". On the opposite hand I did the single large flower on the ring finger and the two smaller flowers on the thumb.

Thanks for reading!

Winter Wonderland


Colour Club's "220 Volts" (2 coats)
Snowflake designs from Konad IP m59 in Special white
Nubar's "Martini" - holograhic glitter

Ah...a truly Canadian konadicure for you. Colour Club's "220 Volts" is an awesome blue creme. The only problem is that it tends to chip whenever I use it. I don't know what's up with that because I don't have that problem with other colours from this brand.

I stamped the snowflakes in random positions and then added some of Nubar's holographic glitter in the centre of the flakes, as well as randomly on the nail to give it a frosty winter effect.
