Some Konading!

I didn't even know Konad existed until about 2 months ago. Now I love it! I first saw it on Siobhan's NailPhile blog and was so impressed I had to try it. Started off with the M3 plate and progressed from there. I've got a few plates now and I'm working on it. I'm still getting the hang of it so it takes forever for me. But it's so worth it. Everytime I do it I get so many compliments. People can't believe I did it myself and it works as a great conversation starter with some of my patients. It's always nice to have an in with people.

This is Essie Splash of Grenadine with OPIs Funky Dunkey. It's the swirly pattern from plate M73 and then I just free-handed the tips. I'd started to use M19 but it wasn't quite thick enough so I just free-handed. Thank goodness I've already done my Surgery rotation- made my hands steadier. And I wasn't allowed to wear nail polish while I was on that rotation! This one was so pretty! Looked perfect out on the beach!

I did this one to replace the previous mani because on one finger all the polish just popped right off! Weird, but it gave me a chance to do this. This is OPI's Rumple's Wiggin' with Funky Dunkey used to Konad. And it's plate M64- the little bow with ribbons! Super cute :) So Rumple's Wiggin' worked a million times better with this application and it was only with 2 coats. I used Sephora OPI's base coat and Seche Vite as a top coat and then drying drops. Love it. Can't wait to wear it to work tomorrow. Hopefully my Chanel will come tomorrow so I can change it up a little bit!
