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.

Easter Nails

Easter egg colors of course. I picked all my pastel, springy, Easter-y colors for my eggy nails.  A spring flower stamp and pastel rhinestones in the center of each flower finished it off.

 After the first day, I decided flowers on every nail was necessary. I liked that much better. 

Blocky Konad

Something shiny and edgy.  I didn't care for this design on the image plate and avoided it for a while, but I really liked it on the nail.

 But after a day, I got bored and did an accent nail.

Polka Dots!

I LOVE the polka dot nails I am seeing so much of lately. So many cool ones. One of my favorites is I saw here. I really liked her color scheme and figured I would copy cat it. But I realized I had NONE of those colors, so I did a more spring seasoned color mix with a more translucent feel.

First hand I tried to do the rows in  straight lines.  The second hand was harder doing with my left hand so I tried randomly placing the dots. I don't know which I like better.

At first I thought I hated it for being too busy, then it really grew on me.
