KONI'S FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE :)

Last night my little sister came over to get her nails done. She told me I could do them whatever way I wanted and with whatever colors, but that was short lived as soon as she started shooting down color after color after color I picked out - lol - just kidding! She only shot down a couple, lmao! Anyway, I did a couple of test color and designs on my nails so she could pick which one she liked better. I actually did one that I liked so much, I made it MY koni of the day! I will do a post on mine later.

Here is Brandi's koni:

I used Time Square - Mint Pastel for the base. I then used Konad SP in green for the stamped image and Konad plate # M65. Then we topped it off with a coat of China Glaze - Fairy Dust (one of my ALL time fave polishes!). Turned out pretty cute, huh!

TOTD - BABY BLUE AND GOLD

Colette of My Simple Pleasures must have really been an inspiration to me this week, because this is the third time I have mentioned her today :) Earlier this week Colette did a koni and she used Misa - Ghetto Fabulous as the color she stamped with. So last night after painting my toe nails with Time Square NY - Aqua Pastel, I thought Ghetto Fab might work as a good stamping color. I am really digging this color combo! I only wish that the gold was a little more in your face, but usually that's how I like my nail colors. I might try this combo on my nails soon. I forgot to get the plate number, but this is the full nail pattern in the zebra print.

What do you think of this color combo? Love it or hate it?

MORE GREEN MANI'S

This past weekend I was in full on swatch mode. I did a ton of nail polish swatches, and I used alot of my new nail polish I got from my Las Vegas haul. Here are some of the green nail polishes that I used.


For the base I used Time Square - Mint Pastel

Then I topped that off with Nabi - Beige Glitter

I even went outside and snapped a couple of pics of this in the sun. This is really a pretty combo. You have to enlarge the pics to really see just how sparkly it is.

Look how bright and sparkly this is even in the shade!!

For my next swatches I used a Green that Nixxy had pointed out when I posted up picks of this in my LV Haul. So here ya go Nixxy!

This is more of verging on a neon than being a "light" green.

WOW!! Look at that color! Isn't that just beautiful?

Next, I thought some gold sparkle would look good with this color, so I topped it off with China Glaze - Golden Enchantment

oooops! Sorry for the blurry pic!

You really need to enlarge the pics on both of these mani's to see just how awesome they really are!

LILAC PASTEL - ALL DRESSED UP!

I used Time Square - Lilac Pastel for the nail polish color. Then I used my Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen and drew on bow ties, and the french tip. Next I used pearl nail arts and placed on in the center of each bow tie. Then I alternated on each finger either all pearl buttons or all purple jewel buttons. Very, very simple nail art. I am quite pleased with these. I notice that I keep looking at them, which is always a good sign of a nail art job well done!

Would love to hear what you all think :)

TIME SQUARE NEW YORK PASTELS

Last week I showed you all the three pastels I got from Transdeign. Quite a few of you showed an interest in them, and I was pretty curious how well these would do myself. So, I decided to try them all out and post up some swatches of them for you. Ladies, Ladies, Ladies!!! I love these! I can't believe I got these for 49 cents!

I loved all three of these colors. They were all pretty nicely pigmented and reached bottle color in only two coats. However, they really did need a third coat just to smooth it out nicely. These colors can be found at Trans Design under the brand Kolor Ring and are regularly priced at $1.37. I see at least three more colors I will be getting!

AQUA PASTEL

LILAC PASTEL

MINT PASTEL

SO now I want to hear from you! What do you all think of these pretty pastels? Are these hot or what?
