KOTD: Oh.. hai spring!

I must confess.. I am not a fan of spring or summer. The heat? I don’t like it. The insects? The horror! I am a late fall and winter kind of girl. But with Nubar’s Greener on my nails and the craving for a new konadicure I thought.. why not a spring inspired konadicure? :)


 

In daylight

Nubar – Greener, two coats
Konad – m69 with Konad Princess Special Polish – Apple Green (It wouldn’t hurt to print the name of the special polish on the bottle, right?)
China Glaze – Cherish with Fauxnad – GCOCL
Green and yellow green round rhinestones

 

In a tad of sunlight

This manicure was a bit of a rush job because I had a headache and nail polish and nail polish remover fumes don’t go well with it so the placing of the flowery Fauxnad motif is not that great. But overall I do like it.
It was my first time playing with the Princess Special Polish and so far I like it. It seems to smear less than the regular Konad Special Polish or was I just imagining this? :D

Oh my!!! This is tooo beautiful for me to handle! I love it! I think of the first green grass that’s popping out of the snow in spring. Great job!

Thank you all! :)

Landa you can haz warm weather if I can haz cold weather? :D I am already freaking out because there is the first spider in my fly screen/screen door. *shudders* Do not want!

The floral motif of the Fauxnad image plate does remind me of springs first flowers like snowdrops too, Therése. :)

This looks lovely, makes me yearn for some green instead of the gross dirty snow we have right now.

Absolute stunning.

That Konadicure is to die for! I’m in love with your grassy summer tips!
Do you think they’ll marry me if I promise to buy them the best cuticle oil in all the land? :D

Kitty said on January 28th, 2010 at 19:16

That looks so refreshing. A perfect spring/summer mani!

MightyLambchop said on January 28th, 2010 at 20:38

That is simply stunning! I love green and these are gorgeous colors. I am envious!

Thank you all so much! :)

I wish the warm weather would wait a few more weeks here, Brooke. It is still cold but in a couple of weeks it will slowly get warmer and I.. do not want. :(

Dirty snow however is gross yes, Cucumpear. *agrees*

Aww I love cuticle oil, EvilAngel! My nails are really thinking about marrying you now. :D

*gasp* You mean I’m not the only person who loves winter and hates summer?! People always think I’m nuts for loving snow. haha I just can’t take the heat of summer.

Despite my distaste for hot weather, I do like this spring konadi! It’s very earthy and fresh. :)
