Real KOTD


After posting some of my old KOTD, I finally made some fresh one :) I used essence multi dimension dress to party (2 coats over base coat), konad violet pearl special polish and m57.





Yet another KOTD

Avon nail wear pro perfectly flesh (2 coats over base coat), oriflame visions quick dry mauve silk, m2

Another french manicure

For this french manicure I used oriflame beauty french manicure soft pink and konad white special polish, and the image plate m44.


First double water marbling

As I am open to trying new things, I had to do water marbling too. For this marbling I used 3 OPI nail polishes. The shades used were: Alpine Snow, Nicole's Alert and Strawberry Margharita.

First gradient manicure with sponge


This was my first gradient manicure done with a sponge. I used two shades of oriflame long wear nail polish, namely the shade black cherries (1 coat over base coat) and the shade orchid (sponging:).

2nd KOTD

As I was going to the sea side, I had to do my feet too. This was also my second konad attempt.
At that time I only had 3 image plates.


My first pedicure with konad:
image plate m2, essence SYF purple magic, oriflame long wear nail polish black cherries




It was hard to capture the images on the nails with a camera, but in the direct sunshine the images were visible very clearly.

My first KOTD

I must say that before I became a member of a cosmetics forum ARS COSMETICA, I did not have a clue about nail polishes and different types of manicures at all, with help of this forum I enlarged my knowledge on nail polishes and on other cosmetics themes. At the beginning, the number of my nail polishes was somewhat small, well today it is a bit larger though and it is still growing.
It was this forum where I got to know konad, and you cannot imagine how excited I was when I got my first konad kit (special thanks goes to anchek, would not make it without you), although it was ''just'' the S-kit and two additional plates. So I had to try it out immediately. As I sent some of my konadicures to Kathleen from OC Nail Art, she encouraged me to do a blog of my own. First I will show you some of my previously made konadicures.


Here are the results of my first attempt:


I used image plate m8, some old oriflame black cherries nail polish and konad white nail polish
(Sorry for a bit bad quality of the picture, as I am still learing how to take better pics with nail polishes)
