Bridal Konad M71 - OPI Tutti Frutti Tonga

A week or two ago, in a konad thread on a forum, one of the girls decided we should do a theme, Bridal nails......so I had a quick think and came up with this one for my offering. It was probably one of the most obvious ones to do, after all, the pattern looks like a veil !!


I used OPI Tutti Frutti Tonga, I have had this polish for about 12 years, but it is still as good as the day I bought it. It is a sheer pastel peach shade, 2 coats was enough to give subtle colouring but still sheer enough to look natural. I then use plate M71 and the lace design in konad white over the top.

It looked very sweet and very suitable for a bride to wear on her special day, I was pretty pleased with my hurried attempt.......so thought I would share it here for you girls too :o)

Konad M71 - OPI Bare it in Trafalgar Square

Well, here we are, another day, another Konad! Are you getting bored of them yet? I do hope not as I enjoy doing them so much.

This one uses OPI's Bare it in Trafalgar Square for the base, I got this in a recent haul and reviewed it yesterday......it can look a little stark so was a good candidate for a Konad! (aren't all polishes?)
It was good to go in two coats and the design I used was from plate M71, I used Konad Princess polish in Chocolate for the design. It's kinda weird, but the chocolate design made the base look more pink than the stone/beige it really is.....


The chocolate polish was very thin and tended to smudge as I applied it, not something that usually happens, I ended up having to redo a couple of nails. I'm sure it will improve as it thickens over time, I just have to be more aware of it in the meantime.



Not sure what I think of this one, it kind of looked nicer in my head LOL

3 More Konad Catch-ups........

Okay girls, here are three more of my konad mani's. A couple more days of this and we will be up to present day, then you won't be so bombarded with konad nails LOL

The first one was a design I saw on a fellow bloggers page. Wan at I Love Nail Polish has some beautiful designs and tutorials on her site so go take a look. This one was so cute I had to try it out, going to do the Gothic Lolita one as well, it is just so fab I have to have a go!
It was my first time doing polka dots and it was so much fun to do. I also did my toes with the same design and it looked super cute! Hubby loved the toes, he called them my happy feet as they made us both smile so much. Honestly, you can't be miserable with this design on your fingers and toes.
Getting the konad design straight was also really hard, I was so fixed on doing this quickly I left myself flustered and couldn't line them up right, I left it though and still enjoyed the mani.
My base polish is a much darker lilac than Wan used, I just didn't have one pale enough, but it still looks kinda cute.

I used Gosh Wild Lilac for the base
M71 in konad white
Misa Heaven white and dotting tool for the polka dots



The next one was back to the snowflake plate, it was coming up to Christmas so it was a must do mani. This time I experimented with a non konad polish for the stamping. It worked okay too, was very impressed with the silver, it was incredibly opqaue and stamped beautifully.

The last one for today features my current favourite nail polish. Misa Sugar Daddy! I cannot believe how much I love this polish. It is just stunning, it looks like crystallized sugar on your nails, though smooth of course ;o) The konad design in a good one too, very delicate and I felt complimented the base colour well. This was my first try at a full nail design, but it is a very forgiving one so a good starter. I love this one, so pretty.

Well, that's it for today, hope you enjoyed them, more coming shortly.........
