MAD FOR PLAID - NOTD

I soooo didn't feel like doing my nails yesterday, so I knew I wanted to do something simple. I almost left them just a plain color but even I wasn't going to let that happen! :) I decided to just go with a full nail design. I haven't used the plaid design before and thought I would give it a go. I could NOT get this to stamp straight for the life of me, but on the plus side at least I consistently put them crooked on all the nails, lol! I really like this and still feel like they are a little plain, but I am digging it for today at least. Also these are super shiny!!! I can't quit looking at how shiny they are, I just love it. Don't know if it is due to the Pure Ice nail polish or the Nubar Diamont top coat I used - maybe it is just looking shiny compared to the Black Top franken I did!


Also, a week or so ago my little sister gave me all of her nail polish since I do her nails and the Pure Ice I used for this mani was one of them. The name sticker has come off and I am hoping one of you might be able to help me identify this color.

    Love this look. Mad for Plaid is for me! Also reminds me of a Christmas ball I had. Well I think it was a box of 10. Very pretty. I loved it matte and I love it shiny!I just started using Diamont topcoat again. It's so fantastic. Levels everything and is super shiny!

    Hi there! I came across your blog while searching for Konad tutorials...and wow I loove the plaid look! And the shade of Pure Ice you used...is Bordeaux still being sold now? Or is it a seasonal shade or something?
