I LOVE the colours you chose!
I think it's pretty.
Some thoughts...
If you want to do a fade like that, it might be easier to paint your nails a solid white (ie. Alpine Snow) then sponge the pink/red on. That way you have a nice clean/opaque base.
I really do like it though.

How many plates do you have now? How many colours? The only colours I've bought were the gold, silver, white and black pearl. Any luck stamping with non-Konad polishes?

Right now i have only 2 plates and 2 nail polishes (white and black). So when I will get my order it will be 5 plates and 3 polishes. How many plates do you have? And which ones?
I did try other nail polishes (China Glaze and Orly), its working, but not as good as the Konad ones. The designs comes out sheer and with konad polishes they are more opaque. But Im still going to try to play with other nail polishes.

I have 8 plates. When I first got into Konad it was right at the time of my birthday and my bf (he wanted to get me a birthday present but isn't particularly creative...LOL) saw me buying Konad and just paid for it for me. I was kind of irritated though (because I'm cheap...LOL) that after we bought it at a store in Toronto, I found it online for less than half the price. GRRR. I HATE when that happens. So I basically bought four at the store...and four online.
I've got the following plates:
m24 m35 m36 m45 m51 m57 m66 m70
I agree with you about the other polishes... but I just picked up China Glaze's OMG and DV8 and that collection is supposed to stamp really well... so (when inspiration hits) I'm going to give that a try.

Nice collection of plates!
Where did you get OMG and DV8? I think this collection is awesome, I have only IDK, but I really want to get some other colors too.

Thank you! I still feel the need to perfect the stamping, I've become so anal =) Even the slightest mistake makes me want to do all over again... Sometimes I feel like only supporting the polish, but in hours I just bust some konad over it, and -sadly- ruin it most of the time... =) Konad is a craze!

I'm the same way! If it doesn't come out perfect, then I want to start all over. I'm super anal with my nails, maybe that's why I haven't used my Konad for awhile....

Girls, I need your help. Where do you keep all your nail polishes?
I got to the point that my plastic storage box is not big anought anymore. So I need some ideas on how to store it, so you can see the nail polish bottles easyly. I looked on MUA, but I did not find any good solutions on there.

i LOVE using china glaze's Romantique collection to stamp, they define the image vs others Ive tried, though I should say I dont have any Konad brand polishes....yet! My OPI alpine snow works great for me for white, but all the blacks I've tried haven't been opaque enough.

Currently I am storing my n/p in a HELMER drawer unit from IKEA but you can't really see the bottles easily. Also you can't use the whole drawer.. it would be better to fill the last part with some boxes. It is too difficult to reach for the bottles in the back of the drawer but you can't leave it empty ..you need to fill it with something so that the bottles don't roll around in the drawer.
HELMER
If you have enough room maybe a nailpolish rack would be nice?

China Glaze Romantique collection!
I only have the white and black Konad special polish but just for the stamping I bought the entire Romantique collection a while ago. It is heaven!
I am having a nail crisis right now but I painted my nails with Russian Navy from OPI and stamped on it with China Glaze's Passion a few days ago and it is stunning!
I just love the finish of the Romantique collection for stamping!

Thanks. (Like I said...I'm pretty cheap so when I realized I could get it online for cheaper than I paid at a local kiosk, I was kind of annoyed...LOL) I bought through OCNailart. (Kathleen ships worldwide for free and gives you 20% off if you use any of the codes she hands out to her faithful bloggers...so if you haven't bought from her she might be worth considering.) I am not a blogger...I just happened across her site.
As for the polishes, I ordered them from Head2Toe Beauty along with 10 other China Glaze finishes. (CG is usually $2.99/bottle there, but their OMG collection is $3.29). It came to approximately $36US (for 12) with $12 to ship to Canada. Like many of these places they recommend you buy in bulk but I'm not a salon. When am I going to order 70 nail polishes? All told, after conversion I don't think I paid any less than I would have if I had just bought China Glaze at Sallys and paid local Canadian sales tax. But Sallys doesn't have a huge selection so I figured I might as well order online. They packed it well (maybe a little too well) so no breakage.

I don't have that many polishes so right now I just keep everything in my MALM vanity that also houses my makeup... My polishes sit in an inverted 3-tiered acrylic cupboard organizer by InterDesign.
Here's a pic from my stash/storage:
One thing I have looked into though is a wall mounted acrylic unit such as those you see at salons/spas. See Nail Polish Display Clear Acrylic Wall Mount. Just a thought!
