NOTD - Lime Green Konad

Hi guys, following all your fantastic advice on my 'how do you Konad' post I decided to give in and buy some Konad special nail varnishes. They worked! I did it, I cracked Konading!!!

I used Models Own in Lime Green and Pastel Yellow Special Nail Polish by Konad

 Two coats of Models Own Lime Green

I stamped the leaf print from Konad plate m83 all over the nails and finished with Sally Hansen Diamond Shine.

I'm really pleased with how this turned out and can't believe how much easier the whole process is when you use the special polishes. I now want loads of different colour polishes and a stack of plates! With Christmas just around the corner I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Week in Post #11

I didn't do a week in post last week as I didn't receive a lot, today I have for you a fortnight in post instead! I've actually been quite sensible and not ordered a lot, which makes a change!!

 I'm pretty sure that almost everyone on the blogging scene will have received a package from these in the last two weeks! I obviously couldn't resist the 50% off code, I'd never tried Models Own before so this was an ideal opportunity to give them a whirl.

 After my post about How to Konad? and reading most of the responses stating that I do need the proper stuff I placed an order on eBay. It cost £15.50 for all of these which I thought was very good! I got them from this seller, I ordered on Thursday night and they arrived today - impressive no? Can't wait to have a play with them!

E.L.F. had another 50% discount code, once again, I couldn't resist! I loved my Matte Lip Colour so ordered one in every other colour!

I saw these on Danielle's blog and decided I wanted some. It costs £1.99 for 20 water decals which isn't too bad. I got them from this eBay seller. (there is a rugby world cup coming up so I couldn't resist the tacky Welsh ones!)

Frooly are giving a code for a £5 discount if you 'like' them on facebook. Me being the bargain hunter I am had to take advantage and order something! Hello moustache necklace :)

Burberry were giving away a free sample if you 'like' them on facebook. Mine arrived this morning. I haven't had chance to sniff it yet!

How do you Konad?

Hi guys, I hope you don't mind the late night post! I wasn't going to post tonight as we went to watch The Inbetweeners (hilarious by the way!). I've just had a cup of coffee and an wide awake so thought I'd pop up this post that I took the pictures for the other day!

Konad...how do you use it?

After several failed stamping attempts I decided to sit down with a few nail varnishes and Konad plate m83 to see if I could get the stamp to transfer with any of them, the results weren't very successful as you can see below...

MUA - Hardly there

Eyeko - quite promising but only part of the design

17 - no transfer at all!

Rimmel - this one picked up a lot of the image clearly, but missed parts 

Barry M - hardly there

ELF - picked up a lot of the design but again missed chunks

No.7 - just a tiny dot!

This is where you guys come in, how do you Konad? Am I doing something wrong or do I just have to admit defeat and buy the Konad Special paints? Do you have any Konad hints and tips?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated!

 

NOTD - Konad Stamping with Barry M

Hi guys, if you follow me on Twitter you may remember that my partner bought me a Konad stamping kit for my birthday. I finally got around to trying it out! Unfortunately I didn't realise that you needed to use the special nail paints to use them! I just thought this was their way of trying to make more money! I decided to give it a go with my Barry Ms, although the design did, eventually, come it took a while! I tried almost all of the designs and they just would not transfer to my nails, for some odd reason the two all over patterns worked, so I went for those!

Have you tried Konad nail stamping? Did you find it easy or difficult?
