Konad Nail Art

HEATHER INTRODUCED ME AND MEADOW TO A LIFE

CHANGING PRODUCT TWO DAYS AGO.  LITERALLY.

KONAD NAIL ART IS MY NEW OBSESSION.

CHECK OUT THIS FUN TUTORIAL BELOW!

HEATHER BROUGHT HER SUPPLIES AND LET ME AND

MEADOW TRY IT OUT FOR OURSELVES.  IT IS SO MUCH FUN!

YOU USE THESE DEPRESSED METAL PLATES WITH

A SPECIAL POLISH TO MAKE DESIGNS.  THE PROCESS 

REMINDS ME OF SILK SCREENING A T-SHIRT.

OVERALL THIS IS AN INEXPENSIVE PROCESS.

THESE METAL PLATES VARY IN PRICE FROM ABOUT

$7 EACH TO LESS THAN A DOLLAR (IN GROUP PACKS).

THE STAMPER ETC COST ABOUT $10 BUT THEY COME

WITH PLATES AND SOMETIMES WITH A POLISH.

 I THINK HEATHER SAID SHE SPENT $15 TOTAL.

THESE ARE THE TWO PLATES HEATHER HAD AND THE

ONES WE STARTED PLAYING AROUND WITH.  THIS 

TECHNIQUE TAKES SOME PRACTICE TO GET PERFECT.

THESE ARE HEATHER'S NAILS FROM A COUPLE 

DAYS AGO.  SHE DID AN AMAZING JOB ON THEM!

I IMMEDIATELY WANTED TO TRY THEM ALL:

 IT TAKES PRACTICE STAMPING YOUR NAIL COMPLETELY.

I EVENTUALLY DITCHED THE UNDERCOATS WHILE

I WAS PRACTICING AND TRYING DIFFERENT PATTERNS

OUT.  MEADOW ENDED UP BUYING A KIT FROM SALLY'S

TOO SO WE HAD MORE OPTIONS.  THEY DIDN'T SELL

THE SPECIAL NAIL POLISH THOUGH.  WE'VE ONLY SEEN 

IT ONLINE (BEST PRICES ON AMAZON ~$3/BOTTLE).

I LOVE THE SEAHORSE!!!

AFTER PRACTICING ALL DAY YESTERDAY

(I WAS IN A TOTAL K-HOLE OVER THIS SHIT)

WE DID OUR NAILS FOR REALZ.

 HEATHER WENT WITH THESE STARS 

FROM ONE OF MEADOW'S PLATES.

I WANTED TO TRY EVERYTHING STILL SO I STARTED

OFF WITH SOME DIFFERENT COLORS UNDERNEATH.

AND I STAMPED EACH FINGER DIFFERENT.

SOOO MUCH FUN TO DO!  IT IS ALL I CAN THINK

ABOUT LATELY.  YOU HAVE GOT TO TRY IT!!!!!!!

THIS IS US VERY INTENTLY HUDDLED AROUND
DOING OUR NAILS.  (PICTURE TAKEN BY ERNIE.)

AND HERE ARE ALL THREE OF OUR HANDS ALL FINISHED:
