No, I did not get it yet

Hopefully soon. What other plates do you like?
And I cannot wait to see your pictures!

Do you mean the kind with pockets that hold CDs? I think so...
e.g. CD Page Inserts to Fit 3 Ring Binder

I'm in the process of finishing up my vanity area (read: re-organizing all of my nail stuff) so when I'm done I'll be sure to post what I did with my Konad.

has anyone tried putting two colours on a single stamp pattern (ie diff colour for petals and for the stem)?

I'm thinking of trying today. Base is banana bandana (quite sheer, bleck i think i need at least 3 coats, plus am i getting sick or do i actually detect a bit of banana scent?). going to try custom kicks and purple w/ a purpose on top.

i love you guys sharing...perhaps i will if i get my camera going!

Sound interesting, you have to take a picture!
I never tried to use two colors at the same time, well not yet.

Here is what I did with my new M57 plate. I know its not perfect, but still fun looking.

China Glaze Rich & Famous
Konad Black n/p
Konad Plate M57

Yay I just got my first Konad stuff in the mail today! I got 2 plates and the stamp+scarper but I didn't buy any of their special nail polishes. I tried stamping with a China Glaze white n/p but it stamps on really sheer..

Are the special polishes a good investment?

 

[trincess]

Could've been so much better, I did this in a hurry.
Konad white n/p over ChG Second-Hand Silk

Some girls use other n/p for stamping. I personally did not try other brands yet. I think you should get white and black n/p from konad and for other colors you can play with other brands.
Wich plates did you get?

 

[malaviKat]

I have a question...

How are you guys getting such crisp pictures of your work?! I've done a few looks but my pictures suck! (And most of the time I'm a pretty decent photog!)

I have to agree with this. I think some colours in other brands (e.g. China Glaze's OMG or China Glaze's Romantique collection) stamp quite well. However I've tried many other CG polishes that don't really work at all. I'd also suggest getting the white and black (I have black pearl) special polish from Konad...and, if you want something shiny, perhaps the silver as well. (Though I hear chrome polishes from Sally Hansen work far better!)

I usually use Macro Mode on my camera, trying to hold the camera as far from the nails as I can, but use zoom. When the camera is too close to the object it either picture comes out blurry or not taking pictures at all.

I love M57 also, I just got it couple of days ago.
I did not buy my rhinestones from them, but I got them from sallys beauty supply store. They are fun, I used one on my flower, but you cant really see it on the pic.

Did a palm tree nail look today that Im pretty pleased with, and I used 2 colors like someone was asking about

Your nails look lovely. How do you get your stamps to work?

I can't get mine to transfer from the plate on to the stamp.
