TONE ON TONE ARGYLE

I did a quick little koni last night. I wanted to see what green on green would look like with the argyle pattern. I used Billie - Green for the base and konad sp in green for the stamp. I really liked how it turned out, but I think a lighter green color for the base would have worked better. This looked great in the flash pictures, but it wasn't nearly as noticeable in real life. I'm wondering if maybe Sinful - Irish Green would work as a better base color....


(btw, with two little yellow rhinestones stuck on each nail, I think I could have pulled off making them look like snakes!)

This one is a little blurry, but it was the only one I took with both bottles!

ESSIE ST. MARTIN MINT NOTD

As Helen of Helen & Sheenie's Nice Things would say, I'm doing the "my preeeeeecious" nail slink! hehehe As most of you know, Essie St. Martin Mint is a discontinued color that I have wanted for a several months and I just recently acquired through the kindness of a reader, again THANK YOU! While this color does take at least 4 carefully applied coats to reach bottle color and opaqueness - I feel it is totally worth it. Somethings are just worth the hassle :)


I wanted to add a little konading to this, but I didn't want to disrupt the color too much, since I still wanted to enjoy the mintyness of it all. So I selected a small flower design from konad plate #M60 and used a white for the stamp color. I think it came out just as I had hoped. I then added some small clear jewels to the center of the flowers. This is very dainty and sweet - and I think you should remember this because I don't do these type of mani's often!

SNAKESKIN

I know the pattern I used was the argyle one, but I think this really resembles snake skin. I used a charcoal/silver color for the stamp, but I think this would have looked really awesome in gold too.
