Freakin' Awesome Combo!!

I was really excited about this one and thought it was such a pretty color combo!! I love how it came out!!!

I used a base coat, followed by 2 coats of Revlon's Top Speed in Royal (1 coat probably would have worked but I wanted it to be nice and opaque and FYI this one has a stinky smell to it). I topped it off with the paisley print off of plate M60 in Pure Ice's Silver Mercedes. I have found this one to be the best silver to stamp with as far as how it appears against the base polish. I like this one way more than the Konad silver and best part...it's only $2.00 at Wal-Mart!!! I finished it out with 1 coat of Seche Vite top coat.

Konad polish vs regular polish

So when I got my Konad, I just got the stamper and scraper and a bunch of plates not any of the polishes. A lot of people were pretty successful with regular nail polish that I just decided not to spend the money on it. Recently I decided to try some of them and compare...

The color is China Glaze - For Audrey, the bows (plate M3) were in China Glaze - White on White, and the flowers (plate M37) were the Konad white nail polish. (pardon the chippage...I didn't have the Konad polishes so this had already been on my nails for 1wk and was right before I removed it). This was also the first manicure I did with the Konad plates too. Personally I liked the Konad white better for the stamping but I still liked the regular one. If you know of a better regular white nail polish, let me know!!

How it all began...

I've been painting my nails since I could sneak my mom's nail polish out of her room. :) Recently, I had a friend post a pic on Facebook about a Konad print she did....and then the flood gates opened and I found a world of nail polish that I never knew existed. My nail polish collection exponentially multiplied like rabbits after that as well.

So here I am just looking to explore it further and !! Hope you enjoy!!
