Fairies


This is a simple nail art. I added some black fairies and some purple flowers on my pink nails. The bubbles that come with the fairy design on the Konad plate are so lovely and add a hint of fairy tale. I really like to "cut" the image when I do my konadicures; I don't stamp the entire image to make each nail unique. I thought that it might not work as well when it comes to fairies..but the result isn't bad, isn't it? d= The colours and design remind me of spring. What do you think?

Until next time,
Miss K

Winter Christmas nails

Happy New Year to you all! May this year bring success and luck to all =)

I know I am a little late, but I would like to share with you my Winter Christmas nails tonight!
These nails are from last year....I loved them so much that I keep comparing all my konadicures to this one. From the colours to the design, I find this is no doubt my best creation! I also find that the pictures taken last year are nicer and clearer.......

This year, I am not as satisfied........I wanted to have a change, so instead of having my design in white, I used green and yellow. I thought red and green would give a nice Christmas feel. I think this konadicure is also beautiful, but last year's is more lovely d=

My latest konadicure

Hi readers,

This is my latest konadicure =) I will probably do another one tonight. Now, I'm just trying to get more inspiration for a Christmas design!

This konadicure is inspired by x'mas gifts d= It is time to go shopping!! So I made my nails look like gifts. Do the bow and yellow stars remind you of wrapping paper?

Première neige

Hello everyone!

Last week, it snowed in Montreal! Even though I tried to deny it, I think winter is really here.. so I thought it was time to continue my winter design collection! Since I did this manicure on the day it snowed, this konadicure will be named "Première neige". Cute name isn't it? d=

This nail polish is "new" in my nail lacquer collection. I got it this summer during my trip to Toronto. It was such a good deal! All China Glaze nail polishes were 5$ each! 5$ only!! Isn't it amazing?? I love China Glaze for the perfect formula that allows flawless applications so I ended up getting 8 of them kekekek

This colour is a creme blue, named Aqua Blue. Since I wanted my snowflakes to be silver, I chose Aqua Blue, a relatively dark colour so my snowflakes would be more apparent. Lovely?

Finally a konadicure!



Hi everyone!

Now that school has started, my schedule is more fixed, so I seem to have more time to update my blog!

Today's post is a konadicure which I named "Summer butterflies". Finally, I can blog some of my designs! As konadicures take time to do, I believe this is the only one I did this summer. I had a few days off and I went to Toronto with my boyfriend, so I decided I had to get my nails ready for vacations heheheh

It is a simple design but I hope you all like it! =)

Nail polish: China Glaze Sexy Lady
Plates: m57, m36

Rescue Beauty Lounge treatment system



These are my nails, using the RBL's full treatment system. I kept this konadicure for 10 days and I find they still look very new after more than a week. I decided to remove it only because we see a "big" part of my naked nails d=

What should I say about RBL treatment system? I absolutely love it!! Besides the good quality of the nail polishes, I really love their special yet simple bottle shape! Unlike the regular treatment with only base coat and top coat, RBL has in addition a pre base coat, which makes their system unique and outstanding. I have always found the most crucial step of doing nails be the nail care part. The secret of a good manicure is simply having a good base coat to protect the nails and let the nail polish stick better to the nail plate. As we should put a lot a lot of cream and cuticle oil, especially during winter, the base coat tends to not stick so well on our nails because of the oily surface. At this point, you will find RBL's pre base coat a genius invention! hahahah And finally, of course, a good top coat is important for the finishing step to protect the manicure and make our nails shiny and perfect.

When I do my manicure now, I always put the pre base coat, base coat, nail polish, and then the top coat. Trust me, I feel more like a professional using RBL's impeccable treatment system d=

For this konadicure, I used Essie Innocent and konad plate m57.

*I'm sorry for the bad quality picture of my nails. It is a .gif image. I don't know why when I upload this picture under .jpeg, it keeps rotating..

Winter collection: "Merry Christmas!"




Hello everyone!

School is finally done for me!! Today, I spent some great time with a friend, right after my last exam, to do what? ................... NAILS of course =) The above pictures are my newest designs on my friend's hands.

My winter collection is getting a little bigger with this konadicure which I decided to name "Merry Christmas!" Red colour, bells, snowman, snowflakes are all elements related to Christmas. Therefore, I had to use many different images from my plates. I used OPI Red My Fortune Cookie, plates m12 (it's a Christmas plate!), m 59 and m45 to do this manucure. And of course I did not forget to top every nail off with a silver glitter top coat! I just want to say that I find the designs on the thumbs look like Christmas cards..heheheh what do you think?
.
It took a little longer than expected to accomplish this work but I believe it was worth it because I just love it! I hope you all like it as much as my friend and I do!

Good luck everyone for the giveaway!

"It's time to party"



Hi readers!

Sorry for the lack of posts these two weeks.. The end of semesters always kills students.. Very happily, exams are finally ALMOST OVER for me!! After crazy back to back exams and papers, I feel soooo freeeeeeeeee!! Therefore, I decided to wear a more "wild" design since it is (almost) time to party!! =)
.
MAC Lola Divine, plate m57, and Princess Special Golden Black Nail Polish (for leopards design) were used for this konadicure.
.
This is it for now. See you all soon and to all students, study well and good luck for your exams!

Simplicity


Here is a simple konadicure I wore on my nails for a few days. It is a picture I tried to take with my new cellphone. Not a very successful picture.. Probably if it were taken outdoor, it would have been better!
.
Although the tip looks grey, I used Nubar Lavender. This design is a lot cuter in real life than in this picture. All konad fans should try it =)
.
See you all soon! I have to get back to my readings now!!

"Flocons de neige"


Hello readers,
.
It's been a while! Today, I present the first konadicure of my winter collection to you :"flocons de neige". It is a simple french manucure with some coral blue, light grey and silver (although I realized it was not very visible on my nail) snow flakes. On the tip, I also added a coat of my PA pink shimmer nail polish and topped it off with a silver glitter top coat.
.
I hope you all are like me, prepared for winter =)

"Cool Summer Breeze"


Another manicure from me! At this point, to see konadicure from me again and again should not be a surprise anymore. Hahah i just love it!! it is such a great invention huh? =)
.
This picture was taken this summer when there was sunshine and a little wind.. ahh the wonderful weather!! For those who don't know, it snowed yesterday in Montreal!! Not that I hate snow, but in October, I judge it is a little early...
.
For this konadicure, I used China Glaze Second-Hand Silk and plate m36. I hope you like the design.
.
Besides, with the weather changing, my nails keep breaking these days!! It annoys me so much!! To all my friends who care about their nails, remember to put lots lots lots of CREAM!!

Miss K's first post: "Once upon a time"




Hello everyone,

Here is my first post! I hope you all agree with me that the colour reminds of fairy tales and since "fairy nails" does not sound right... I thought "once upon a time" would be a cute name for this manicure!

Although the colours of my nails in the pictures do not seem to be the same..it is!! Sorry for the bad quality pictures. The next ones will be better, I promise!! Here, I used a pink shimmer nail polish to create this shading. To realize a gradient texture was not difficult since it is a sheer nail polish. I just had to put a lot of coats! hahahah Finally, I simply added a little yellow flower using Konad plate m3.
.
This is it for my first post! See you all soon =)

Strawberry Fields Forever

Another Miss K post! Yay!!

I named this manicure Strawberry Fields Forever, after the Beatles' song that I love so much.


A little story about this konadicure:
Miss K wanted a desert (or something) but her boyfriend didn't want to get it for her so she decided to satisfy her cravings by konading strawberries on her nails. The next day, the sweet boyfriend took her for a yummy breakfast and they had strawberry waffles!! Oh the coincidence ;) haha

Konad plate used: M55.

Have a great week! The next post will be live from Florida!

Miss K's spongicure!

Hi!
It's finally the end of the week! Can you believe that in 5 weeks, I am supposed to be reading 5 books and 10 articles for my French literature class?! It's gonna be insane!!! Plus, I haven't read a french book in years, so I kinda need to get back into the groove...

My friend, Miss K, whom I haven't seen in a while, spoiled me today by sending me a picture of her gradient spongicure!



She used 3 Konad [princess] polishes, pastel pink, red and then dabbed on some rainbow glitter to finish off her look! Cute, I'd say!

Miss K is moving closer to my home this summer! I can't wait! It means nail dates/manicure nights!!!!!

Thanks for reading and have a great weekend, everybody!

Konadicure with OPI DS Original

Finally! School is over!!!!!!!!
I've a got a few days to relax before I start work and summer school.... FUN! I'm hoping to get in lots of shopping!! 
OPI DS Original, lavender holo (3 coats)

Konad with plate M77. I normally stamp my nails facing me, meaning that they look the 'right' way when I look at them, which is why it kinda looks weird in the picture.. in real life, its as if my nails are wearing necklaces!!

Have a great weekend!
GO HABS GO!

Update!

Hey guys!!!

I hope you all had a real good Easter weekend!

I'm so sorry for the serious lack of updates. Finals are coming up and I have so many papers to write for my courses!! Spending my weekend away and without my computer definitely made it a bit harder on me (I'm a big procrastinator, I just love to work under pressure!).

However, it's the weekend again so I'll just take a little time to show something new!

Essie Rockstar Skinny, a dark brownish red with a subtle shimmer. I love this color!! Very sexy haha!! My picture doesn't do it any justice, though. I'll have to try to get a better one...


Also, here's Miss K's konadicure from last week:
Before leaving last week, I lent my friend Miss K a few nail polishes to do her nails, so I'll have that to show you the next few days! Hopefully, I'll get my nail polishes back!! I heard she REALLY like China Glaze's Agent Lavender....

Before I forget, I just really wanted to thank every person that has commented on my 'help a blogger' post! You guys gave me some great suggestions! I'll look for some pictures and show them all to my cousin. Hopefully, there's at least one of them that she likes! I will also be keeping the konading idea in mind.
I'll keep you guys updated, and will definitely post some pictures!!


Have a great weekend everybody!!

Miss K nail art

Alright no time to write a lot, but my friend Miss K is still experimenting with her sponge!

Sunday, March 28, 2010

Miss K's first Spongicure!!

Alright, so I'm pretty sure you guys are all pretty much tired of seeing my 'unicolored' nails, so I got something different for you today.

My friend (Miss K) just received a sponge to do nail art. She's been waiting and talking about it for so long, I'm glad she finally got it! Here's a first try!

Cute, no? She didn't really like it all that much and REFUSED to let me see her nail in real life.. lol.

Miss K Konadicure

Miss K strikes again! I tell you, she gets better everytime at konading!

This time, she used OPI No Room for the Blues for the french tips. Then she stamped on motifs from Konad plates M3 and M36. Finally, she topped it off with Konad Special top coat Silver Glitter.

I'm going to see two of my favorite bands tonight, Silversun Pickups and Muse!! I can hardly wait!!!!!!!! So excited!
