My sleep cycle is so messed up on the weekends LOL. I meant to post this last night, Friday, but here it is Saturday ... or really Sunday morning. I've had this on for over 4 days, but it hasn't been exactly the same the entire time. I started off with just OPI Teenage Dream, from the Katy Perry collection, on it's own.
Pics do not do the glitter justice. I took a vid, which is a little better but still doesn't convey the full impact:
For the 2nd day I stamped with Black special polish & Konad plate m63, but didn't take too many pics:
And for the 3rd day I topped that with Matte Magic - it was really cool how the holo glitter still managed to shine though the matte-ifying, almost more like flakies than glitter, I think because they were larger than the rest of the glitter:
Thanks for reading =)

So cute! I want to try mattifying Teenage Dream now, it's so cool!
ReplyDeleteYep, that's an epic mani.
ReplyDeleteLove! I love mattifying glitters, it makes them look so cool!
ReplyDeletewonderful!!!!!!! I love it!
ReplyDeletehow do u do the konad stamping on your long nails? I mean, do u have to stamp twice on a nail?
ReplyDeleteSuch a great color, i need to get my hands on that collection.
ReplyDeleteHow many coats of Teenage Dream did you have to do to get that kind of opacity? I typically put it on top of a baby pink to get full coverage with no VNL.
ReplyDeleteI love each step of this mani, but I think the matted Konaded step just looks amazing!!!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty I absolutely love it!
ReplyDeletei love teenage dream!
ReplyDeletei loveee ittt but for the water marbling when i drop my nail polish into the water it doesnt spread...:(
ReplyDeleteI Love the Konad stamp!!! =)
ReplyDeleteHow do you get your thumb nails so long girl? Mine always break after they get a certain length, which is long to most people, but not for me. I need talons like your thumbs, hehe.
ReplyDeleteLove that polish. So much beautiful glitter. Wish I could find it online. Everything is sold out! Love this stamped and matted.
ReplyDeleteWell, more like they get a huge split on the side always on the side facing in towards my body. =/
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! What Konad plate/design did you use? I would like to know how to get that all over effect with each nail. My sister and I are considering a Konad, but it is daunting. lol
ReplyDeleteWhoa, stellar mani! LOVE the holo.
ReplyDeleteInteresting nail art blog. I don't do nails obv, because I'm a guy... But I'm into art and I love this art form. AWESOME work.
ReplyDeletep.s Hello from France! :)
Wow! Love your mani
ReplyDelete-first time I've seen someone matteifying Teenage Dream ^_^
I'm wearing the same konad pattern done with Zoya Pinta over China Glaze LOL and it's just amazing, most beautiful mani ever. You have to try it<3
ReplyDeleteOMG the polish alone with your skin tone looks great! Love the Konad on it too. You make Konad look so easy! Still can't get it to work for me. So I admire from afar :-). Gotta get that polish!
ReplyDeleteYour glitter videos are great! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi, I loved this look! Do you know if China Glaze still sells the Matte Magic top coat? I haven't been able to find it online when I looked recently. I wonder if any other brand out there makes one because I really want to get one to change up my manicures. Thanks to you I have started back to doing them more often! :)
ReplyDeleteHow did you stamp the entire nail so perfectly several times? The Kinad image couldn't possibly be large enough to cover your entire long nail... Please share!
