Kiddie Konadi #2

Seriously...two easy steps to an adorable Kiddie Konadi????? Yeah, really. What a basic konadi, but this swirl design makes quite an impact when used in contrasting colors. As you know Konad dies quickly, so again- you're not investing too much time in a manicure that may get smudged a touch or chipped....ahhhh kids! You can only keep them still for so long!
Here's what you will need:
A base color, I used an NYC in black, Konad SP Polish in white, and Konad Image plate m9
And here is how easy it is!

1. Paint nails with the base color
2. Stamp swirl design on all the little fingers!
Here's a great tip.....
because little fingers have tiny nail beds, SAVE EVEN MORE TIME with your full image. After picking up your image, stamp the first nails, then QUICKLY rotate your stamper and use the remaining image on the next finger! You can get 2 fingers done in one image stamping!

Kiddie Konadi #1

As promised, I am going to feature a series of kid friendly Konadicures...Kiddie Konadi's. I think we ladies enjoy using Konad products and creating Konadi's for ourselves and friends, but our daughters love them too.

I have a 3 year old and a 6 year old who love having their nails done! I like to make their nails extra special by applying a Konad nail art design to them. Of course you all know how fast and easy it is, so it is no no big deal or waste of time to glam them out.

So, get out your Konad- and spend some good old fashioned girl bonding time with your little one. My girls like to pretend we are in a salon an create an elaborate story for who we are, our names, dolly's names and ages, and the "specials" of the day. They even create names for the specials...very sellable indeed!


Here is what you will need: Base color, plates m57, & m3, Konad special polish in black and white. Glitter polish for tips.

HOW TO CREATE THIS LOOK:
1. Apply base color

2.Stamp first image in white over full nail, then follow with the bows in black. I like to place them diagonally, but you should do them however you find them pleasing.
3. Paint the tips with a sparkle color similar to the base color. But you could create an entirely different look by using a contrasting or even solid tip color.

Working with Caviar beads is a little challenging.  You need enough gel under them to help them stick, but not so much that they drown and ...
