I can't even begin to tell you how lazy I was tonight. It took a WHOLE lot of effort to even take off my kimono nails LOL. I just had a really tiring/drama filled day at work. Man, TV peeps can be so dramatic!
Anyway, I thought I'd do something a bit cheery to lift my spirits a bit and try out some Konad layering. Now, I have discovered that in order to do
wicked awesome Konad layering you obviously have to have more than 5 Konad plates :S BUT I'm workin with what I got :D
So I started off with Orly Snowcone as the base and used a nail art pen in white topped off with Sally Hansen Disco Ball for the clouds. Then with trusty Konad plate M51 and M66 I layered grass with Zoya Veruschka, Nubar Green Tea and OPI Jade is the New Black. Then I freehanded some little ladybugs with black and red nail art pens.
They make me kinda happy! And also kinda sleepy!!
Okay now I figure I'll do at least one more mani until I'm whisked off to Cuba!! I'm such a jet-setter lolz. I'm still torn on what to do for that...any suggestions??

ReplyDeleteJan - They're TOTALLY awesome! I left a comment on your blog :D
ReplyDeleteMidge - Hahahah so clean you say? LOL I always find flaws with my edges :P. I guess that sometimes I just get really lucky but most of the time I use a flat makeup brush with some nail polish remover to clean up the edges so that they look neater :)
Emma - Thanks! Try it! It was my first time doing it too. Glammed Up has some fantastic layered Konad that makes me wish I was better at it LOL
