Pure Ice Twinkle w/ plate m57 also to everyone who's posted such beautiful pictures, how do you take off the design from the skin around your nail after you stamp it? do you do it right away or just wait and take it off with polish remover? i waited until i was done and took it off with remover... but it didn't do the job quite well

I do have the m45 though and those French designs hold up well. |

When I'm Konading, I tend to leave the design that gets stamped on my skin until the end, then I dip the metal file in remover and carefully "erase" polish that way. (The remover tends to bead on the end of a metal file, it doesn't absorb, obviously, so that means I can concentrate remover where it is necessary to do so.) HTH! |

My haul (I ordered last week and it arrived today): All China Glaze unless otherwise specified... Cords Short & Sassy Free Love Let's Groove Thunderbird Adore IX Liquid Leather Awaken Sexy in the City Atelier Tulle Stella Japanese Koi VII Essie's Matte About You (I kept refreshing the next day and it came back in stock!) I also got some other supplies.

I wonder why head2toes stopped shipping to Canada. But I know why they shipping was slow, cause its actually a salon with a little "store" in front and I think only one guy is handling all the online orders. A little weird place, but great prices. |

Do you do your nails at this makeup table or somewhere else? My makeup stash is upstairs in the bedroom and I usually do my nails downstairs while watching tv or something. I was thinking to put all my nail polishes on the shelf I got in the master bathroom closet door, but then I was thinking if its going to be convinient at all, to take what I need downstairs and then put it back, what if I will need some extra stuff. lol |
