I thought this is a perfect summertime mani, with the red, white and blue that I chose to use, don't you think? I had originally thought about doing a white base with blue french tips and the crab stamp. I didn't know if there would be enough room for a french tip since my nails are so short and the crab stamp is kind of big. If I would have had my longer, fake nails on, I sooooo would have done a blue french tip, it would have looked like a pool of water, don't ya think?
Here is what I did and used:
For the base I used China Glaze - White on White. Next I used Konad plate # M57 fishnet pattern and stamped it using China Glaze - Frostbite. Then using Konad SP in red and Fauxnad plate # K05, I stamped the little crabs on. I found it funny that it didn't even dawn on me until late this morning that it looked like crabs caught in a net! LOL, I was just trying to think of a way to add some blue into the design, but it totally worked out in the end!
This looks cute all on it's own, I think!
MMMMMMMM!! Two of my favorite things!! Hot crab and Cold Dr. Pepper!
That's a bunny tail!
Look at my shirt! I'm all nautical today!
BROOKLYNSHOEBABE - That would be a GREAT Mother's Day present! You should ask him for one! You can see they are lots of fun to play with, and they totally dress up plain nail polish. I always feel like my nails are bored without any konading on them :)
ReplyDeleteLOL.....you made me laugh with this post :-)....and this design is one of the the cutest and funniest design I have ever saw..lol
ReplyDeleteTULI - Glad I brought a smile to your face today! Thank you, I wanted something cute for my nails today :)
ReplyDeletelol this reminds me of the neanderthal Mr. Krabs of Spongebob fame, totally adorable.
ReplyDeleteTihi! Look at him smiling at me! *pet*
ReplyDeleteTotally cute! Great idea with the 'net' and the lobster, never would have thought of that. Good to know that frostbite works well with konad :)
ReplyDeleteAhahahaha! You're making me want to do my nails like this next time I make sea cake XD
ReplyDeleteTotally cute! Your nails are looking great :)
ReplyDeleteI think on the real Konad plates that little guy makes an appearance on one of the zodiac plates ... I know this because I am a cancer & it's always kind of irritated me that most other astrological signs are way cooler than a freaking crab. But this crab is pretty darn cute =)
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I could totaly see this mani on a beach vacation. Seafood restuarant, crab shack, yummy yummy! Really neat with the fishnet design. I do like it on it's own also.
ReplyDeleteThat is too sweet! It made me think of Mr.Crabs on Spongebob Squarepants....lol! That's a compliment...I love spongebob and mr.crabs!
ReplyDeleteCLOCKWORK - LOL! I cna't believe I didn't think of Mr. Krabs!! My son is 6 - so you know I have seen every episode at least twice!!
ReplyDeleteKAJSA - LOL! Watch those fingers around his claws!
NESSA - Yes, Frostbite worked really good! Of course I did it on a white base, so that might have helped it show up too.
VIOLET - lol - yup! You need some matching sea creature nails! :)
MARY - Thank you for noticing! I really think my Barielle treatments, and the fact that I have been using them DAILY is making a dif.
COLETTE - Oh, is he? I didn't pay much attn to the astro. plates, lol!
LUCY - Now if I could just get that beach as easily as I got these nails....! I can't remember the last time I was at the beach, I think I was in my middle teens, and I'm 31 now, so it has been a long time! No beaches here in Oklahoma, just lakes.
VEVLET - leave it to another mother to spot the mr. krabs comparison, lol!
The crab is absolutely ADORABLE! Love it
ReplyDeleteThat's totally cute! The crab is adorable. :D
ReplyDeleteAh, so funny and good looking :-) I have to order this Konad-plate to myself, my horoscope sign is also cancer.
ReplyDeleteAw, that is too cute for words! Very Spongebob :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie!! Great nautical theme today :) My sign is cancer as well; I need to get it to (if I'll ever learn this Konading.. ;))
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! :)
ReplyDeleteKAE - Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteALEXLYNDRA - Thank you so much :)
AMABILE - lol, it is kind of a funny one :)
NIXXY - I can't believe how many people thought of spongebob and it never even occured to me!
VANESSA - You gotta practice!! Once you get the hang of it, it is addicting! Plain np looks so boring with out a stamp on it :)
OLIVIA C. - Thanks :)
That reminds me of that mermaid Disney movie. Lovely :)
ReplyDeleteBrooke- That crab is just too cute. You should stick little mini wiggly-eyes on him! Maybe only on one nail on each hand, but he is just begging for wiggly eyes!
ReplyDeleteI gotta get a Fauxnad now.....
haha. Those are too cute.
ReplyDeletePIXIE - Oh yes, the little mermaid!! I loved that movie!! The crab was named sebastian!
ReplyDeleteGLITTER - I think some were saying this same crab was on some of the regular konad plates! lmao - I never thought of wiggle eyes!! How cute would that have been!!
RAI - Thanks :)
