Stamping Nail Art- Konad m77

I just wanted to share with you some models I made on my nails


I was using the Konad m77


It is a great set. I combined dark blue nail polish with white 


I got the white polish from e-Bay. It is supposed to be special thicker nail polish for making patterns, but I don't really think it is special at all. Anyway, it was a good way for the seller to market it ^.^ 



I hope it inspired you. I can really relax by doing these patterns on my nails. And I find them really cute and unique, too.

❀Spring Eyeliner Look❀



I look I was wearing when visiting some relatives. It is a discreet look that enhances your natural traits. It can barely be observed and can be built upon with color for creating an evening look. You could wear this for work also. It is ready rather quickly, it depends how much you mumble around with the details. Don't forget to set the oily eyeliner with eyeshadow and do apply powder on the areas that can get shiny. In my case that is the T-zone.


Products I used:
Estée Lauder- Cyber White BB Cream
Max Factor Concealer- Ivory
Sephora- Colorful pro
Sonya- Jazz Eyeliner
Manhattan- Coral Heat Eyeshadow
Random Eyelash curler
Max Factor- Masterpiece Waterproof Mascara
Maybeline- Blush 51 Rose
Maybeline- Dream Mat Powder 03 Golden Beige
For the lips I used the aloe lip balm.



I used the E.L.F Studio Brushes



e.l.f. Studio 11 Piece Brush Collections



I have had them for more than two years now. I clean them regularly and they are still in excellent shape.

Nails

Short, bright colored nails or natural French manicure? Whichever the choice, most girls have a considerable number of nail polishes. This sometimes ends up being a veritable collection. Come on...I know you also have some dried out nail polishes in one of your drawers. But it is OK...I myself hardly remember finishing any other nail polish then clear coats. At the moment I really like Miss Sporty (what else should be expected from an aikidoka???) nail polishes because of the bright happy colors and the quick drying. Take a look at my little set of nail polishes I keep in a nice wooden bowl:


Haha, just now while editing I observe I forgot an Aloe Lips there. The truth is I just use this bowl to keep random lipsticks and hairbands also >.<

So now let me present the present status of my nails:



O_o yaaaaaaaaaaaakkkk
But the nail polish itself it a really pretty color. The design of the bottle is also really edgy. And I have quite some clothes with dark blue patterns that harmonize with this nail polish:


I totally hate it when the nail polish is kind of chopped, so the moment I finish this post I will do my nails again. I might get back with the update status of my nails on the bottom of the post later.

At school or college you can allow yourself to have funny looking nails, but once you start working it is a no go. It would look really unprofessional if I would hand some papers to the Auditor that is a present in our house with such nails. But somehow, even if I top coat them, my nails do not resist the constant tipping from the office. There are of course a number of more long lasting manicure styles but I somehow prefer the natural nails with nail polish. It is more time consuming, but also more fun.

These days I discovered a nail cure can help you drop bad habits. I also admit that I sometimes find myself biting my nails. Baaaaaaad habit! This is a biter tasting and completely efficient rescue coat. Once you tasted how bitter it is, you will keep your nails away from your mouth the whole day. It can be used both as top and as base coat, or as both. If you want to take advantage of the curing effects, you need to use it as a top coat:



Color your nails into fun colors and let me know your favorite brands! ^.^y

Update with my present nails:
