On to the nail stuff!
Today I wanted to show you something that you'll probably see throughout my blog, my nails being nubbinized once in a while. (For those who don't know, in nail world speak to nubbinize it to cut down and go from long-ish nails to short-ish nails.)
I know some girls only cut their nails when they have a break because they want to keep their nails as long as they can for as long as possible. I'm not really that girl. My nails (and hair) seem to grow pretty fast and I find myself cutting them a bit every 2 weeks or so, just so that I don't have to contort my hands in funny ways in order to be able to type on my laptop etc
The mani in this post is a fail for me, I wasn't happy with the final outcome, so it's why I'm not really posting it other than to show length difference in my nails. I wanted to use a light colour for the base, in this case Color Club Pretty In Platinum, then I used the same flower design twice, just with different colours.

Before
After
I used Wet 'n Wild Black Creme & Sally Hansen Brushed Gold nail polishes to do the design from the Large Plate B I reviewed HERE I think it's still available on eBay.
EDIT: thanks to a friend on here, I found out that the original design is on the Konad M65 plate, for those of you who do not want dupes, but the real thing, I found this image of it online.
Till next time!
I actually really like your mani outcome! The layered florals look nice :S Also, I should probably cut my nails too.. I hate the slippage when you're typing :(
ReplyDeleteIt's an image on konad plate m65 :) If you go to wowsocool.com and click the image plates you can see all the konad plates & what images are on what number plates :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I know the feeling to want to nubbinize but I HATE doing it LOL
I like the double stamp! It almost looks like you painted shadow or something on there

ReplyDeleteThank you! Something about it doesn't sit right with me though, eye of the beholder and all.
Oh yeah, mistyping because of nails sucks.

ReplyDeleteThank you! I've updated the info in the post. I myself have found a local place that actually sells Konad plates cheaper than the site, so guess it's why I've never visited it, but will keep it for future reference.

ReplyDeleteOh I like double stamping, just not this colour combo I guess, I'll try this one again another time but with different shades and see what happens. It's just great to keep experimenting!
