Christmas Nails

First xmas mani
Hey readers :) so i was going for a candy cane look for this mani, it was kind of a fail because i found it extremely difficult to line up the images. The image does not fit on my nail so i have to stamp atleast three seperate sections on and join them up..

-Anyway i used 2 coats OPI Colour So Hot It Berns
-Stamped using Konad special polish in white
-Image plate m65
-For the ring finger i used OPI Alpine Snow & stamped using special polish in red
-Image plate BM02
-Top coated with seche vite

♥ Ash.


Second Xmas Mani

I wanted to keep the candy cane theme going for this mani so i used them for the tips. This mani is exactly the same as the Snowflake one i did so i wont explain everything.I stamped image plate BM20 in konad special polish red over just the tips of my nails and on the ring finger i used BM14 using special polish in green and red. Top coated with seche vite.



Third Xmas Mani

This mani i've also done before, the only think i did to make it a bit christmassy was i added some holly from the image plate BM14 with special polish in green and red, and also image plate m36 using red and green special polish too.

Teal Roses

For the base of this i used OPI - Ski Teal We Drop. I love this colour its amazing! I was worried it would look a bit weird on me.. but didn't turn out bad. the gold roses were really subtle on the teal colour.
I used plate m65 for the roses and konad gold special polish for the stamping. Topped it with Seche Vite. Hope ya like :) (second pic will be uploaded soon)

Green Girly Flower Tips

With this manicure i painted my tips on using OPI - Jade Is The New Black, went over the smile lines with the flower image on konad plate m9. My ring fingers were stamped with the fishnet pattern on m57. & the butterfly images were on image plate m36. The white flowers on my nails were from image plate m9 as well. Lastly a top coat of Seche Vite. x

New Tattoo!

Totally off topic! But this is my new tattoo! First one i've ever got, hurt like hell but definately worth it.
Its the 'Om' sign which represents Hinduism. I'm not so much religious, however its still my culture and i like the look of the sign. It's still in the healing process in these pictures.

Snowflake French Tips

I love this manicure so much! Saw it on the Konaddict blog and thought i'd give it a try. Used Orly french white for the tips, snowflake images were off konad image plate m59, the silver swirly image was from m63. Polished used for stamping were just white and silver. I went over the smile line of the tip with OPI - DS Coronation, and put some over the snowflakes too just to make it sparkle a bit. Topped with Seche Vite top coat.

Black & White Houndstooth

This ones pretty straight forward really! Base coat was OPI - Black Onyx, white polish was just konad special polish. Image plate - m63. Added some rhinestones which you couldn't really see anyway, and top coated with Seche Vite. x






Jade Flowers

Didn't really know what i was doing with this design, but it didn't turn out that bad. I liked the ring finger nail! The 'Love' image replicated worked out well :)
I used OPI - Jade Is The New Black as the base colour (2coats). Using the white Konad special polish i stamped on the flowery image from plate m71. The 'Love' image was from the Bundle Monster image plates. They have some really nice images on those!
I added some rhinestones, and topcoated with Seche Vite Top Coat =)

Taupe Roses

Okay so for this manicure i used OPI - Over The Taupe for the base colour. I used Konad white special polish and silver for the stamping, and the image plate m65 for the rose pattern.
Lastly i added some brown rhinestones on, and top coated it with Seche Vite! & voila! =)

Sky Blue Flowers

I've seen this flower design from the image plate m73 done so many times & it looks so pretty, i decided to do it on top of another random polish i got from a dollar store. 'Cui Nong Professional'. It's a sky blue colour, i did my ring finger on both hands different.
I used konad special polish in black and silver for the stamping, and ofcourse added on some rhinestones :)
Ignore the excess polish =p had to clean all that up hehe.
Also i'm beginning to wonder whether i'm talking to myself right now :( please do comment!

Lilac Hello Kitty

Hey :)
This is the new OPI polish i bought, it's called 'A Grape Fit!'. Its a really nice non metallic colour. Wasn't sure if it would suit my skin tone but meh.. I use pretty much whatever i like the look of in a bottle! =p

I put on the base coat (Orly top2bottom base coat and top coat in one), then i applied two coats of A Grape Fit! Plates m56 and m57 were used. It's pretty much the same mani as the last post, except i added another Hello Kitty image on my thumb nails. There are also little purple rhinestones in the middle of the bow tips.
Hope you like.
♥Ash.



Mint Green Hello Kitty

FIRST ATTEMPT AT HELLO KITTY NAILS! I was so damn excited when this plate came in the mail. I purchased it off Ebay. The polish i used was a random one i got from the local Dollar store, it's called Cui Nong Professional. It goes on nicely, with a OPI type brush (2coats). I usually only do two coats on every mani i do. Very impatient =p

The Hello Kitty image plate is number A02, i used plate m57 with konad special polish in silver to do the fishnet pattern and plate m56 with black special polish for the bow tips.
Oh this was my first attempt at tips as well. It's actually really difficult to get them on straight.. However practise makes perfect! I added in some konad rhinestones, and last but not least.. Seche Vite Top Coat!

Zebra Nails

I wanted this image plate for so long! (m57) Couldn't wait to have zebra nails :) I was happy with how they turned out. I used OPI - Black Onyx, and white konad special polish for the stamping. My nail beds are quite wide so i have trouble getting the image fully onto my nail :( i have to keep filling in the gaps which is annoying. It doesn't come out perfect all the time but i'm happy with it!

Black Mosaic

Hey! I did this konadicure i while ago, i think it was after i did the green mosaic one. I used Orly - Iron Butterfly, Konad Special Polish in white, plate m24 & ofcourse the world famous Seche Vite Top Coat which i couldn't live without! I only have one picture of this mani sorry!
♥ Ash.

Black Dice

I'm not sure how long ago i did this mani but i used Orly - Iron Butterfly (it's a matte dark grey colour, however with the konad images/top coat on it, it looks a lot darker. The image plate i used was m22, and for the little pink flowers i used m5. Konad Special polish white & pink. The dice and flowers together were a bit random but when i did the dice by itself it looked a bit empty so i used the little flowers.

♥Ash.

Jade Mosaic

Hello! =)
I think this was actually the second or third 'konadicure' which i did, i used OPI - Jade is the New Black, Konad Special Polish in white and image plate m24. I repeated the design, took quite a while! But yeah i liked the print it came out with :)

Pink Fishnet & Lace Tips 2

I couldn't resist doing this mani on myself after i did it for my friend! :) Turned out pretty!
The pink polish i used was Bloom - Kylie, and konad special polish gold & white. Image plate m57. :)

Pink Fishnet & Lace Tips

These were also i friends nails which were done on her acrylics for her school ball. The plate i used was m57. I used Konad gold special polish for the fishnet design, and for the tips i used white. The gold was really sheer, i wanted to add it in so that the mani didn't look empty =p
Hope you like! ♥

Blue Fishnet Nails

Hey guys! Ok so this is a mani i did for a friend of mine. It was for her school ball, i did them over the acrylics she got done. The Konad plates i used were m56 and m57. I added some baby blue rhinestones in the middle of the bow tips. Turned out to be really cute :)
The fishnet background was done with Konad Special Polish in silver, and the bows were done in blue. ♥
