Tag Archives: Konad special polish Black
I decided that the Ducato polish from my last post would make a nice base colour for some stamping, and I finally get to use one of my new Moyou plates! 😀
I used plate 08 from the Suki collection.
Suki Collection 08
I’m so glad that the cloud pattern on the plate is big enough for my whole nail, even my thumb! I find that on a lot of the large image/picture plates most of the individual patterns are just too small.
For stamping the clouds I used Lumin-Iceant from Color Club. The range of foil polishes from Color Club are amazing for stamping! 😀
The butterflies (I think they look more like bows) are also from the same Suki plate, I used Konad special polish in Black. it was a bit fiddly to clean the stamp up quickly enough before applying them to my nails.

I really like the grey/silver combination even tho my camera decided to show more of the blue tones in this polish.
I think that if i redo this mani I’ll use a couple of larger butterflies rather than lots of small ones!

Today I have some very Anti Valentine’s day nails to show you!
Anti Valentines Day Nails
I don’t think I could have made this any less valentine’sy!
I started out with two coats of Pumice From Sally Hansen, then using a make up sponge I applied patches of Pure Midnight which is also a Sally Hansen Polish.
Then I used a combination of cling film and tiny bits of sponge to add Barry M Grey, China Glaze Galactic Grey and Color Club Shabby Drab to create the stone effect.
Anti Valentines Nail Art
I used two Bundle Monster Plates BM-426 and BM-413 for the stamping, I used Konad Special Polish in Black, then with a thin brush I added some Lumin-iceant from Color Club to the letters.
I also used Lumin-iceant for the stamping on my thumb, unfortunately it doesn’t show as well as I would like 😦
Anti Valentines day Nail Art
I finished it off with a coat of Seche Vite, but then decided it would look better in matte so I added a coat of Matte Finisher from E.L.F!
I think that’s enough hate nails from me! And I hope you have a lovely Valentine’s day what ever you are doing! 🙂

Here are my Valentines day nails for todays got polish challenge! I have to say I’m really not into the whole Valentines day thing, I find it all far to commercialized and a bit cheap… But enough of me grumbling lol!
Valentine’s Day Nail Art
I started out by making the little stamped decals using Bundle monster BM-401, for the stamping I used Konad special polish in black. Then color club ulterior motive for half of the hearts and Maybelline Flash Cosmic with a coat of Barry m shocking pink over the top for the rest.
Valentine’s Day nail art
While I was waiting for my decals to dry I used Sinful Colors Bubbly and Barry m shocking pink to create a sponged gradient, Bubbly is a polish from my unused pile along with the Maybelline glitter polish. Then I stamped with China Glaze Cosmic Dust using Moyou Pro Collection XL plate 04 for the leopard print. I used topcoat to stick on the decals, and added a few dots of Ulterior motive. then another layer of top coat to even it all out!
Valentine’s Day Nails
This didn’t turn out quite how I was expecting! But for pink and girly it’s not that bad….

A quick reminder of the rules :
- The polish you use should be at least one year old.
- If you haven’t been a polishaholic that long, you can use the oldest polishes you have.
- The polish should be previously used, but if you’re stuck, you could free a yearling from Mount Untried.
- You can use more than 1 polish as long as it fits the theme and the rules
I have to say green is not my favorite polish colour and I only own a couple of bottles of green, but luckily I do have this rather old one! The shade is called Froggy and it was made by a brand called Lizzy French. I think I have had this polish for about 12 years!
Green Dragon Scales
The polish is an almost metallic pearl/shimmer with silver, gold and green glitter, As it was so old I ended up having to thin it down quite a lot 
which made the application a nightmare!
Lizzy French – Froggy
I applied three coats of Froggy over base coat. With the first coat of polish the streaking was dreadful, along with the visible brush strokes, the second coat dissolved the polish underneath, there was crinkling/bunching up and bald spots as well! Ugh the horror! For the final coat I applied the polish in a really thick layer, really quickly, I’m glad it worked because I was ready to give up on the whole thing.
For the stamping I used Konad special polish And Messy Mansion Plate MM21.

I couldn’t wait to do some nail art over the Real Color Nail polish from my last post you can find that Here. The colour is so perfect for a Valentine’s Day Mani!
Valentines Day Nail Art
I started by making the gradient on my Thumb, Ring and Middle fingers, for that I used Revlon Black Magic. For my Index finger and Pinky I stamped using Messy Mansion Plate MM16 William Morris and friends, you can find that Here.
I also used an image from this plate for my Ring finger, I used Color Club Antiquated for that, it looks more silver than gold in the photos
Valentines Day Nail Art
For my Thumb and Middle finger I used Moyou Pro Plate 07 XLÂ
As a valentines day Mani goes I think that this one is really rather dark and vampy! 😀
But I’m not really a pastels kind of girl! 🙂

I have wanted to do some sugar skull nails for ages! And I have finally got the chance to do them 😀
Sugar Skulls
I started with two coats of Poke from Illamasqua. Poke has to be one of my favorite purple varnishes! It’s so vibrant 😀 for the skulls I made decals using this technique here! I used Ivory Skull from Sally Hansen and Hot Like Lava from Color Club along with Konad special polish in black for the stamping!
I used plate BM-413 from the Bundle Monster CYO set. I found that the large skull image was fine for my thumb nail but it was a little bit wide for my ring finger. it took a bit of repositioning the decal before it looked right.
on my other fingers I used one coat of Black Magic from Revlon topped with Chit Chat Pink Glitter!
Sugar Skull nails
I am definitely going to be doing something like this around Halloween! 😀
