KOTD: Lavender Leaves

I really wanted to do some Halloween inspired nails, but sadly don't have any themed stickers/konad plates. Booo. :( I might do a few Halloween colored ones though I guess.

NOTD: Mandarin Mambo

I've finally started experimenting more with my Konad plates, and by that I mean using more then just 1 color or image plate to attempt some real nail art. Using just one color can look great but after a while you just want to be more creative. Working with average sized nails also requires picking just the right sized patterns so you don't end up making them look shorter.
I think that's why the Konad M57 is my favorite and I'd recommend to anyone thinking about trying stamping.

What I used:

Vogue Fantastic nail polish in Mandarina

Colorbar nail polish in Raspberry (looks more frosty champagne)

Konad special nail polish in Red

Sally Hansen clear topcoat
Konad M57 and M21 plates

Konad: Sea Blue Siren

Here's an aqua blue KOTD I tried out. This was my first time trying out the M21 nail plate. The paint splat nail design is the whole reason I ordered this plate, but sadly I'm on the fence about it the end results.

What do you think?

Using: Konad M21 Plate, Wet N Wild White Creme Nail Polish, LA Colors in Sea Siren (one coat)

Mini review: I found this LA Colors Color Craze nail polish for only $1.50 (though you could probably get it cheaper) and was excited to run out to buy more. After using it more then once I realised that the consistency is way too thick. I like that it gives full coverage in just one coat and is so cheap, but dislike how difficult it is to remove/clean-up ---> mildly left my nails stained blue even though I only had it on for less then an hour.
That beign said, these polishes make horrible all over nail colors, but are perfect for Konad Nail Stamping.
