Misa A Sin Worth Committing Konaded with China Glaze Devotion & plate m15:
It's OK ... don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Misa, I love the color, but I am not totally pleased with my Konading skillz at the moment. It was a little past my bedtime, and I ended up having placement issues & take my word that the right hand is significantly worse. So this may not stay on that long, but that just means a great excuse to wear one of the other Misas.
You'll also notice my pinky is on the gimped side now ... that's because when I took off my Valentine's mani, I found this underneath:
I couldn't bear to cut it all the way down, but I did take off quite a bit. You know, that little tip of your finger that's usually covered by your nail? It drives me crazy when I can't avoid having them that short & it's all naked & sensitive & unprotected. But it's still pretty short & SO lame. I mean, I admit to being a total klutz, but somehow I'm still always surprised when one of my nails breaks. It's like, it doesn't break when I do something really bad, but then it cracks spontaneously, out of the blue, right at the bottom (if not lower). I wish I'd started biotin 6 months ago instead of only 1 month ... maybe by summer this won't keep happening to me.
The good news is that I know it won't take that long for them to grow out, if I could just keep them all from breaking (ha ha) & get an honest to goodness decent, even, long manicure. I had a few breaks at the end of last year, and here's an older pics of when my nails were on the stubby side just a few weeks ago at the beginning on January. Bear with me, as I think this was pre-learning-my-camera-had-macro-mode:
I like this pic because it's just out of focus enough to catch the holo. I don't remember what the base is, but it's got China Glaze Fairy Dust making it sparkle & the Konad plate is m59. I came across this the other day & couldn't believe my nails had grown so much in only 5 weeks (pic was taken on January 10th). I must be doing something right lately because they didn't used to grow that quickly. Thanks for reading.

Wow - that's so pretty! Your konading skills are fine! I won't even attempt stamping - I have a hard enough time just getting plain polish on right!
ReplyDeleteI really like your 1st Konad that you did recently and the one from the beginning of January. Your skills are sooo much better than mine! I get very impatient though :)
ReplyDeleteNIXXY - You should give it a try, my advice is just start out with a design that looks good wherever on the nail it ends up, and then it doesn't matter if you're a little crooked to start.
ReplyDeleteNESSA - Patience is definitely a must with Konad - it still tests mine at times!
Hey!! That stamp looks familiar :) lol
ReplyDeleteGreat job - don't you just love that Misa color?? I was so impressed once I painted my nails with that color, I really liked it.
BROOKE - I told you I was inspired =)
ReplyDeleteI think I'm hooked on Misa. I need them to have another sale so I have an excuse to buy more!
