Light a candle + M64

Base: Nicole by OPI - Light a candle (3 coats cause i forgot to immediately put on Seche Vite top coat)
Konad: Royal blue or purple
IP: M64
Top coat: Seche Vite
Rhinestones: Silver

this stamp was so fun, my thumb nails are a little too wide for it, but next time i will center it more on the thumbnail (i was a little left sided on both thumbs).
Loving this combo and impressed that this mani has lasted until 3 days

Saturday NOTD

This was last Saturday's mani,

Base - Nicole stic feeling girly
Top coat - Covergirl grapevine
Kiss silver
dots made with an orangestick (need to work on my dotting technique)

This mani didn't last long many days as i had bubbles the next day. Not sure if it's cause polish is old or it's the OPI Top coat reacting with it. I'm starting to think it's the Top coat as i didn't add the rhinestone on my ringfinger until the next day and then applied more top coat, and if you can see i have bubbles directly around the rhinestone. I'll test it again some time with my new Seche Vite top coat.

I did get some compliments on the design from the ladies at my friend's stagette in the bar.

NOTD Tuesday - Konad & Make Mine Lime

base coat - Nicole -Make mine lime
base coat - OPI - Im fondue on you
Konad black
Kiss Nail Art black
Kiss Nail Art silver (to add some sparkle, but mostly to cover my middle finger mistakes on the third pic :~ )
Konad Plate M64

I just purchased a new plate M64 and this is the image that drew me in.
I really enjoyed this mani...the left hand is much better than the right. I didn't top coat till the next day after work and that was a mistake. Also forgot to paint the free edge. You can see the color coming off the tips as i didn't take pics until after the top coat .The Nicole has impressed me as it's been 4 days and today is the day that i want to do another mani as this one is past it's time.

I would redo my mani tonight but my parents are only 15 mins away. yah.

Onto my want list
Bert's Bees Cuticle Cream
Nailtech - Nail strengthener
Dotting tools

Tuesday Nail of the day - fishnet stockings & M3

I wasn't sure what design to do on my nails, so i started with the base coat of Light a candle. then watched youtube for ideas. (i have a lot of cleanup to do around the nails...this is something i forget to do and the pictures show me how bad it really looks)


I wanted to try to use my kiss nailart paint so i found this fishnet design. It was a tutorial from glamerousGabby that i viewed . She speaks German but she has subtitles on this one and it was a good tutorial to watch.
I decided to do every second nail as it was getting late and i should have gone to bed, so i thought every second nail would speed up the process.
But then i continued to play and add glitter and rhinestones and made a mess out of this above ring fingernail. If i do this fishnet design again i will ensure my base color only has one layer or the base on the tips has only one layer as the black tips are already chipping one day later. But then again i just chipped a nail before soccer too so it's time to shorten all my nails. *boo some of them where getting very long*
Decided i had to do something on the non fishnet nails, so i used M3 for some simple hearts using the same Rimmel black. The hearts are much more faded than if i would have used the konad special polish...*i need black konad special polish and silver glitter nailart paint and white nailart paint*


Products used:
Nicole - light a candle
Rimmel black
Kiss nail art - black
Konad Top coat silver glitter
Used Konad image plate M3

today was a beautiful day in Saskatchewan, so beautiful these flowers decided to open up. they are sungoddess'. These are new flowers to me, that i planted this year...can't remember the name to them right now. I absolutely love them, they usually only open up when the sun is shining all day long. I will be planting these again next year, but in a bigger pot.

Play Fair & Konad

Tuesday 3 nights ago i did this mani.

Base coat - Nicole by OPI Play Fair
Konad - purple or dark blue (how am i suppose to remember does the no. on the bottom of the bottle mean anything?)
Image plate - M2

Can't say this was the best mani i've done. the stamper was not picking up the small stars. Can the image plates wear out? I thought it was cleaned up with nail polish remover. Also, i left a lot of blue specks around the images. Forgive the tips as it's day 3 wearing this mani and i still haven't found the perfect base coat for wear time, seems 3 days is my max till the tips start to lose the color. This time i even tried to paint the outer edge and base coat the outer edge too. And it looks like i need to do something about my cuticles.

Polish Haul

Over the weekend, i found a sale on Nicole by OPI at Shoppers Drug Mart, i picked up the yellow for $3Cdn and $7.99 for the remaining colors.



Light a Candle
Play Fair
Make mine lime
Yellow it's me


Did a swatch on my nails.
needed three coats of the yellow it's me and Make mine lime.



Also picked up a Nicole Stic thinking it was a thin brush or dotting tool applicator. But it's just nailpolish in a stick, works alright but the color is very muted, little bit of pink but mostly cloudy (white) color. (forgot to do a swatch with this one)



These colors didn't stay on my nails long as i forgot to put the topcoat and started to dig in my flowerbed, hence to say my tips were looking a little loss of color. So i took these swatches off after two days.

Did a new mani with Konad last night? I'm enjoying it will take pics soon.
