KOTD: Vampy Valentine

Sigh.. how much I adore Milani’s Black Magic halloween collection. They are my favorite base nail polishes for layered Konads. :)

When I thought about which Valentines Day inspired konadicure I could do I thought hmm.. how about a vampy Valentines Day manicure? It was a no-brainer that Milani’s Whimsical with its pink glitter would be the perfect base color for Vampy Valentine. :D

I wanted the rose pattern from the m65 image plate to be very subtle so I picked Zoya’s Drew for the first layer of stamping. The hearts from Konad’s m3 image plate needed to stand out more so I picked China Glaze’s Admire for the second layer of stamping.
Pink heart shaped rhinestones from a rhinestone set by Essence (the German brand will be available at Ulta in the US soon) on my ring finger and thumb completed the look.

KOTD: Tale Of Blue

I am not good with coming up with names for KOTDs. :D

It’s been a while since I posted a sneak peek of this Konadicure on twitpic but I wasn’t feeling well in the last week so I couldn’t post this sooner. :(

I just love the Konadicures with the Milani Halloween nail polishes! This time I wanted to play with Fairy Tale and I also used two images plates with two different nail polishes. Zoya’s Tallulah makes a great soft layering stamping nail polish over a very dark base like Fairy Tale. I am not that happy with the motif I picked from the m41 plate and stamped with China Glaze’s Adore but I don’t have that many image plates yet so this was the motif that kinda fitted the most. :)

KOTD: Alluring Holidays

Spellbinding was the next of the Milani Halloween collection I wanted to play with after Enchantment. I love how the black base with colored glitter nail polish looks as a base for Konad so I did a Konadicure with two image plates again. :)

Because of the red glitter I wanted to try something Christmas inspired.. but a more vampy version. I also wanted to add some rhinestones again. Unfortunately my ordered round red rhinestones haven’t arrived in time so I had to use square shaped ones. This Konadicure would look better with smaller round rhinestones but waiting till today to finish the Konadicure wasn’t an option. :D

I also used two different nail polishes for the two stampings again. Zoya’s Salma (a shimmery red) and Passion – one of China Glaze’s Romantique nail polishes.

KOTD: Enchanted Purple

I am already wearing Milani’s Enchantment from their Black Magic Halloween collection for three days and the weather was giving me a hard time to take nice and sharp pictures of it for a review. :(
But today luckily the sky cleared up and after I took the pictures of the naked Enchantment I wanted to add a little Konad to it.

This time I wanted to play with two image plates and two different nail polishes for the stamping.
I haven’t used China Glaze’s LOL for Konad for a while so I thought purple holo over black with purple glitter for the m65 circles? Yes please! :D
For the second stamping with one motif of m64 I picked China Glaze’s Devotion because of its hint of lavender. And because there wasn’t enough purple/lavender yet for purple addict-me I added lavender rhinestones.
