Wispy Lace

Love this Konad image design! It is so soft and delicate. Careful, it liked to smear a bit with top coat, even using the Konad Special Top Coat. And it is so thin and delicate, it sometimes didn't print the every little detail in the lace netting. But its worth the careful effort.

Pastel Abstract

I saw this on Pinterest from the The Nail Polish Project Blog and thought it was so creative and the color combo really cheerful.

So I tried to simulate it in a bit more simplified version. I only did two color blocks on some nails instead of three on all nails. It was time consuming with waiting for polish to dry before doing the next round of taping, and I was too impatient to do each nail with three color blocks.


Not as clean or cool as hers came out, but it was still very eye catching and received a lot of comments. Most people were amazed it wasn't a decal.  Different color combos for different seasons could be very cool.

Simple Thistle Konad

I love this color, Thistle, by China Glaze. It looks silver at first, but in different lights, its a shimmery lavender or cream color. Super pretty. I used Mash-27 image plate in Konad Special Polish black for a simple design.

Shooting Stars

I saw this nail art on Pinterest from the ThatSoFresh blog and thought it was pretty cool.


But after a day, it was way too busy for me, so I toned it down it a bit.

And after another day, it was still too busy, so I toned it down even more, and was much happier.
