Nails of the Day - Using Konad

I ordered some Konad items off eBay a few days ago and they arrived today!

I ordered 2 image plates, a scraper and the stamp. 

For my first attempt I decided to use OPI's Done Out In Deco as the base and then Rimmel's Lasting Finish in 239 Your Majesty for the pattern with a floral print from Konad plate M71.

It was actually pretty easy to use, you just paint over the pattern with the colour of your choice (in my case Your Majesty), scrape off the excess, roll the stamp over the pattern then roll the stamp onto your nails!  The finished product....


I absolutely love the effect!  With the silver polish the pattern looks more like snowflakes than flowers so perfect for Christmas time, but seeing as that is a distant memory :( next time I will probably use a different colour scheme.  The only tip I would say for the Konad is, clean the scraper, plate and stamp with some nail varnish remover after each nail to get a sharper finish and stamp quickly after scraping or the polish will dry up!

I can see this fast becoming a new obsession....
