Kattie Kiddie

Hey,Fellow Konaddicts!  Wanted to post a cute konadicure i did on Alex.  Thisis a fast post....going to San Diego for the night- Girls Night Out.  I have to catch a train in 2 hours...and havent even done my nails or packed!

                 

and here is a few of the other fingers showing the opposite hand in reverse.

               

heres what you will need

            

Koand Special polish in black. pure ice in silver, and a base color. Konad image plates m57 and optional m19 for the strip.

here is how to do this super easy design

         

1) paint base color

2) using konad image plate m19, stamp a strip in the middle of the nail.  you could free hand it too.  but it dries instantly with m19...so you dont have to wait for drying time!

        

3)stamp leopard lace over the strip, so it is between the lace borders

4) paint the other hand in the revese fashion.

have fun.

untill the next fix...

Taxi Konadiclone!

Hey, fellow Konaddicts...today I am bringing you a very cleaver nail design.  NOT MINE though.  It's a total konadiclone i stole the idea from the Daily Nail.

After spending time in the city, surrounded by taxies, I was inspired to do something to commemorate the trip.  I remembered an adorable nail idea from the Daily Nail Blog and decided to run with it.  I hope if she happenes across this post she is flattered!

These nails differ a little.  I used the tip plate design at the middle of the nail.  I also wanted to print out Taxi Cab (too bad it smeared before I took a pic)and do an accent nail full of numbers. You know How I love that accent nail!

Originally I did these with out the silver stripe....but in the end, I couldnt leave well enough alone.  Thought it reminded me of the bumper on an old taxi cab.

Here's what you will need:

A yellow base color, white polish, Konad Special polish in black, and some cuticle oil is always nice.  makes your nails look moisturized!

Here is how to create these nails:

1) paint base color

2)paint a white curved strpe in the middle of most nails, and the tips of your thumbs.

3) Stamp the check pattern over the white stripe.

4) Print TAXI on the thumb and stamp numbers on the accent nail.

Finally, finish with using a stripe polish in silver to freehand the silver borders on each check pattern.

Hope you all love this darling design, inspired by another very talented blogger and nail artist.

Untill your next fix...

Graduated Color- Mixing on the Plate

Hope you fellow Konaddicts had a fantastic weekend!   I did- it was wet, but fun.
So, here is a technique I have yet to do a tutorial on.  It creates a graduated color stamp by mixing 2 polishes on the plate.

Too bad I couldn't capture the graduated color better.  But see how the color moves from grayish purple to aqua?  Here, let me show you how to do it.

First, here is what you will need.

A dark base color, Konad prncess polishes in Light Gray, and Pop Green, and Konad image plate 63.

Here is how you create this Konadicure, step by step.  The color graduate will follow.

1) paint your base color

2) Mix your two colors on the Konad plate, and stamp the image over each nail.

To mix a graduated color on the konad plate:

paint two colors on the plate...NOT ON THE IMAGE-BUT OFF TO THE SIDE OF IT, ON THE PLATE.

Usea dotting wand to mix the colors IN THE MIDDLE  so you create a blend in the middle.  Now when you preform the scrape, the result will be a graduated color- from one color to the next.

So, try this on your next Konadicure, and tell me how it worked out.

I personally love doing this on the full plate patterns.  The leopard and fishnet look great!

Untill your next fix.....

Green Envy

My fellow Konaddicts...hope the first week of the new year has been good to you.  I've been busy with a new little venture of my own.  But i have been going through blog withdrawl!

 Been a little while since i did these, but looking backk at them, I really like the Konadicure & colors. I hope you do too.

 

So here is what you will need to create this Konadicure.

You will need konad image plates m34, m44, mCO2.  You will also need Konad special polish in black, and a konad compatable color in gold.  I used a sheer blush color over the antire nail , and green for the tips.

Here is the step by step tutorial.

1. Paint the sheer color over full nail.

2. Paint your tips with the green, you can free hand this part because the design on konad plate m44 will cover any wiggly lines. (gotta love that)

3. Stamp m44 over tips, lining up the bottom stripe with your smile line.

4. Stamp stars in gold over all fingers, including accent nail.  Then follow with the cat from CO2 on the accent nail.

An there it is!  Of course always prep with a base coat, and follow with a top coat.  Substitute your favorite colors for any I have chosen.

I think you will really like konad image plate m44. 

*****Tip*****

Use m44 on your daughters  kiddie konadi.  It works perfectly for doing a french tip on thier  tiny fingers!

Thnks for reading...till your next fix,
