My konad goodies arrived today so I decided to play around with them. I've got a different pattern on each finger as I wanted to try all of them out. It's defiantly going to take a lot of practice! I like how my pinky turned out though!

I am looking forward to your inspired KOTD melozburngr!
Yes kelly2509t practise does help. It just needs a little time to find the right balance between speed and pressure that works best for you.

Most regular nail polishes will stamp sheer but the trick is to try it with very opaque nail polishes that already look good at their first coat on the nail.
Metal/chrome nail polishes like the China Glaze Romantiques or Khromes are great for Konad.
Holo nail polishes with holo shimmer work very well too (excluding the kaleidoscope collection.. the holo glitter is too large and so they stamp sheer).
Shimmery/frosty nail polishes like the two I used for the blue (Zoya's Tallulah) and red (Zoya's Salma) work very well too. However they are not completely opaque but as long as the nail polish contains enough shimmer this shimmer will show up.
Yesterday I used Zoya's Kalmia - a shimmery coppery red - over a dark red base and it worked as a subtle but shimmery stamping.
I prefer regular nail polishes over the Konad special polishes because the Konad do often smudge when you put a regular top coat over them. I bought the Konad top coat but it takes too long to dry. I am Seche Vite speed spoiled.

how did you blend the gradient so well?

Dear Santa and Smitten With Mittens are close enough so that they blend pretty smooth together. Also I used only a little amount of Smitten With Mitten on the sponge and put a few thin layers of it on top of Dear Santa to get it opaque at the tips of my nails.
Yesterday I made a gradient from Smitten With Mittens to China Glaze's Emerald Sparkle and with two so different nail polishes it was much harder to get a nice gradient.
Does anyone of you has experience with the Konad sponges? I am using some spongy packaging material I found right now because I always forget to buy the Konad sponges.

I was thinking about using an artistic brush with more fluffy bristles but then I saw the sponges.. I think in a giveaway or in an online store

But because I forgot to order them with my last Konad order I had to use something else. Good thing that I always keep some packaging material from previous received packages.
