(which, I can say equates to confusion), so I was wondering what you guys think. Should I keep this polish?! Shade Partial Sun Flash

Personally I like it plus its a good base color for some cute designs with your konad

Dude! It looks awesome with a matte topcoat. Which one are you wearing? It looks so edgy!

BTW, badkitty... I went to Walmart recently and I saw the Sally Hansen polish I was telling you about... I think they're discontinuing them though, because they were on for $2 and there was this giant wheelbarrow full of miscellaneous polishes. Did you still want one?

malaviKat, I like dry martini on you. Me personally not gonna get any polishes from that collection, I am waiting for Style Black ones.
Yes, I still need this polish, I will have to go to my walmart and check it it. Thanks for the hands up!

I went to order a matte topcoat from transdesign today. From the time I logged on, to the time I went to check out, Essie's Matte About You sold out.

I swear the world is against me... LOL I kill products.

Heres what I ordered from www.WowSoCool.com Konad Stamping Nail Art

Ok Ok I caved already and did my nails and take photos I was a little dissapointed with the silver special polish it does not come out well

Heres what I used
Konad Special white polish (wanted to use silver ugh)
M73 Plate
China Glave For Audrey (beautiful tiffany blue color)

The pattern I used has very small detail so its hard to get a good print.

I find the silver shows up a lot better on darker colours. Your best bet (as you've found) is to use white on lighter bases. You should also try using other polishes to stamp. e.g. China Glaze's OMG or any of the Sally Hansen chromes.

Looks good! I agree with malaviKat, sil ver will look great on darker colors (like black, dark blue, dark green etc.)

I've been following this blog a bit lately and I think she does really creative nail art. It isn't all Konad...but she's got some cool stuff.

Nihrida's blog

Check her out! You might get some ideas.

(At the moment I'm quite partial to her Inglorious Basterds inspired mani... not really "romantic" LOL but still cool.)

happy b-day badkitty! my birthday is on sunday.

y'all have totally sucked me into this whole stamping thing. i have chg harmony with leopard konad in black on right now but will be changing tomorrow when i fill in my nails. i'm also planing a trip to ulta to pick up matte about you. its funny cause i never used to like the look of mattes but from what i've seen here i thinki may be in love. my hubby loves it too cause he's a car guy and says it reminds him of primer on cars . lol

Does anyone else have trouble getting the music note design from the M73 plate to transfer? All the designs on that plate work great besides for that one. I can't never get the entire design to transfer to my nail. Any tips?

 

[malaviKat]

^^ I don't have that plate, but I have found that I have difficulty with some of the finer designs on other plates. Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for you either. I guess perhaps a better polish might help (I know some polishes stamp better than Konad polishes) but I have yet to find a HG polish for this process... Sorry!

No problem! I tried doing it with the white Konad polish. Next time I will try a different brand & see how that works!

 

[malaviKat]

Let me know if you find something that works!
