i am just a itching for some more opaque colours i can use to stamp....hoping to go after work!! i do have to say, i love the china glaze romantique 2 polishes i have, they are stamping pretty awesomely and metallic like!! i want some more!!

 

[capmorlovesmac]

I bought the entire Romantique collection in the last days just to stamp with them.

As nailpolishes I don't really like them.. but they are so good for stamping!

 

[BaDKiTTy69]

Now I feel like I need to get me some!!!
When did this Romantique collection came out?

 

[capmorlovesmac]

Spring 2009

I deeply apologize for the pain your wallet will feel after looking at the following swatches.

Scrangie: Swatches: China Glaze Romantique Spring 2009 Collection

To imagine how they will look as stamping nail polishes....

 

[BaDKiTTy69]

^ Oh, wow, they look so pretty. I love the purple one (Harmony) and the grey ones (Devotion and Awaken). Did you play with these at all?

 

[capmorlovesmac]

Just with one.. Emotion. The others are still somewhere between the US and Germany
but should arrive soon.

This is Emotion on Juno from ZOYA

After I tried Emotion I was automatically lemming all of them and I thought when I buy all of them I will have a great variety of metallic nailpolishes to stamp with them on all kind of base-nailpolishes.

First I thought it is kinda

to buy eleven nailpolishes just to stamp with them but the possibilities with them seem endless and so I caved.

 

[BaDKiTTy69]

It looks so pretty!
I think you made a right choice. Plus China Glaze a little bit cheaper and have bigger bottles then the Konad nail polishes.
I have to check out my local beauty store to see if they still have them.

 

[capmorlovesmac]

Thank you!

Because the collection isn't really old they should still have it.
I can't wait for the Romantique nailpolishes to arrive here.

 

[BaDKiTTy69]

And I am waiting for my M57 plate. They shipped it out today, i cannot wait to play with it. But I did get my China Glaze IDK n/p. I think its so cute, i missed out on this collection, I want to have like every color they had.
And your manis look so perfect all the time!!! How do you do it???

 

[capmorlovesmac]

I am such a perfectionist when I paint my nails and I clean the mess around the nails with a q-tip and a tissue wrapped around a nail file after I did my nails and before I take the pictures.

Right now I only have two Konad images plates but there are 12 new image plates and the double sided stamper on the way.

 

[gigglegirl]

yay! seriously capmor I saw your nail swatch stamp on your blog and that helped me want to use cg romantique to stamp!!

but today i went to buy a few more from romantique--got adore (blueish), cherish (greenish) & devotion (silver). going to use them to stamp, prob wouldnt use em as bases.

I also bought a few others, all opi--> purple with a purpose, curry up dont be late and banana bandanna. these i think ill more likely use as bases.

but holy poop i saw the neon day glo looking ones, looked amazing!!! office appropro though? not sure yet.

lol it was funny though, dont you just want to scream konad rocks?! ppl @ chatters beauty supply where i bought the polishes today asked if my nails were airbrushed. i am quite self conscious but tried to graciously accept the compliments, but i told them about wowsocool.com!

i was wearing ydkj by opi as a base w/ opi's alpine snow as the plaid stamped overtop.

currently plotting what other plates i want!!

 

[gigglegirl]

question i want to pose to you guys: how are you storing all of your konad plates? I have like several and dont want to stack them.

so what do you do?

cd holder? some flip book? im going to look tonight before i go to the movies!!

 

[capmorlovesmac]

I am looking for some kind of flip book too.. like a pocket sleeve card album.
But I am not sure where I could find them

 

[gigglegirl]

hmmm doing some googling ppl were saying they use old mini disc holders or game cube holders.

ooooooo what about a 3.5inch floppy disk holder, either flip book or hard case that you can flip through your stuff.

I know what you mean, I'm a perfectionist when I do my nails, too and I do the EXACT same thing with the q-tip lol then I use a nail corrector afterwards for the tiny hard to reach sides.

Wow that's a good idea. I'd love to see how that's working for those that have done it already.


I've been busy lately so it's been a while since I posted here, but I did take pics of my nails for you guys! I'll try to post pics of my nails tomorrow for you guys.

I was thinking about this over the weekend actually... CD binders were the first thing that came to mind...followed up by mini photo albums.

CD Binder

 

[MrsMay]

^^ would A5 plastic sheet protectors work? The ones that fit in ring binders? then you could add a sticker on the front which showed which stamps are on that plate...
