A few weeks ago I became very curious about Konad stamping. A lot of the lovely ladies over at Polish-Aholics Anonymous, a facebook group where we can all indulge our nail polish obsession, do some amazing nail art and I wanted to get in on it! I don't have the steadiest hand to free hand designs, so I went on Amazon and bought a Konad stamped and a few plates that all came in a pack with 3 bottles of their special stamping nail polish. I love everything leopard, so I decided my first try would be the leopard stamp! None of the black polishes I had were opaque enough, so I had to use their blue, and of course I completely forgot to take a picture of my gorgeous holo manicure before, but here was the end result:
I promise to take more pictures of the process next time! I have a base of Nfu-Oh 62which is a beige holo on all nails (3 coats over CND Stickey) except for the ring finger, which was Nfu-Oh 66, a really pretty green holo. After practicing my konad application on the boyfriend a few times, I finally felt comfortable enough to try it! It was VERY messy at first and required a lot of clean up (and still wasn't perfect) and I was a bit disappointed that the design didn't cover my whole thumb, but all in all, I think it looked pretty fun!
Do you ladies Konad? What are your favorite polished to use with it? Any tips or tricks?
