#Nailartsep 13 - Glitter

Another day, another mani.

So today's theme is glitter!

I'm not really a big fan of glitter especially since removing it is such a hassle.

I don't really like this mani...I was going for a simple look but I really wanted to play with the studs I just bought thus it came out like this.

Yeah...

I really like the stud gradient but as usual, nothing can stick on my nail.

I might consider using nail glue but I don't like what it does to the nail.

I've been using top coat to stick fimos, studs and rhinestones on.

The glitter is OPI Teenage Dream!

I haven't used this polish in so long...I remember the first time I ordered a set of OPI minis and it was the Katy Perry series!

I really want the Mariah Carey liquid sand series as well as the OPI neon generation set! 

><

Can't wait to get them!!

That's it for this mani!

Cheers!

Konad noob in the house!

Yo!

Konad noob here!

Ha ha ha ! 

Hey guys!

I got a whole bunch of konad plates from bornprettystore.com and is super into trying to stamp stuff on my nails now!

^^

This is my nail mail from that day! Konad plates, studs, brushes and was surprised to find an extra hello kitty nail decal as a gift!

SCORE!

ANYWAY!

Here's my NOTD!

This is actually NOT my first time using konad plates.

I tried it out when I firstly started doing nail art...which was around 3 years ago...

WOW...how fast do the years past!

I wasn't all that good at it back then and I don't think that I'm any good at it now either.

I do think that this came out pretty nicely! =)

For the base, I used Dotti Light Blue!

I just grabbed this off the store counter because it was so pretty and absolutely NO regrets whatsoever! Light blue is a great polish which is easy to apply, opaque and even in 2 coats, and does not stain!

The pattern is from the konad plate M65.

I couldn't help myself from trying out the plates as soon as I could.

Behind the scenes notes; while I had the football mani on my left hand, I had a different mani on my right!

Kinda hard to see the clouds. Mostly because it wasn't stamped well and there isn't much of a contrast between the colours. I just thought it would match and it would look cute! ^^

I used this plate for this mani.

Sorry for the unrefined edges of the plates.

Been experimenting with Photoshop which obviously did not come out well.

><

Oh well! Live and let learn!

If you guys haven't tried out konad then I suggest you do! 

It's pretty fun and simple to use. 

That's it for this post!
Cheers!

P/S: I've already painted the next mani for @californails #Nailartsep 13!

Look forward to it!
