Yellow gradient manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you a manicure inspired by @kgrdnr on Instagram. We did a #maniswap: I recreated her mani and she recreated one of my manis. The result was simply awesome!
 I started with two coats of Flormar -M01 on all nails, except from my ring finger. Then, using a sponge and Avon -Inspire, I created the yellow gradient.
On my ring finger, I firstly applied some striping tape and then applied the polishes with a sponge. After everything has dried, I removed the tape.
Finally, I applied Farmasi -Shimmer Nail Enamel #201. The golden studs used are from Born Pretty store.

You can see my #maniswap post on Instagram.

MIYO Nail Polish #28 & Shimmer Polish -Liana

Hi,
Today I'll show you my new polish from MIYO. In the pictures, I wear two coats of #28, without any clear top coat above. I actually got this from a local online store, Magiq

Buna,
Astazi va voi arata noua mea oja de la MIYO. In poze e nuanta #28, aplicata in doua straturi, fara top coat transparent deasupra.  

Cititoarele din Romania pot cumpara aceasta oja online, de pe Magiq. Site-ul este foarte serios, sunt foarte prompti, iar mai nou, stadiul coletelelor ce trimise prin Posta Romana poate fi urmarit online (un fel de Track&Trace). Tot acolo puteti gasi si oje marca Pierre Rene, inclusiv ojele din colectia Sand Effects.

I applied some striping tape and then created the two three coloured design. The darker green is Illamasqua -Kink and the glitter polish is Shimmer Polish -Liana. Between two colours, I stamped a straight line from Cheeky Beauty's GA4 stamping plate, using Super Star -SoHo Chic. I finished with clear top coat. What do you think?

Am aplicat niste benzi subtiri (striping tape) pentru a crea modelul in trei culori. Verdele mai inchis este Illamasqua -Kink, iar glitterul este Shimmer Polish -Liana. Intre doua culori, am stampilat o linie dreapta de pe placuta GA4 de la Cheeky Beauty, folosind oja Super Star -SoHo Chic. Am terminat cu un top coat transparent. Ce parere aveti?

Here's the beautiful Liana. Aceasta este frumoasa Liana.

Matte animal print manicure

Hi,
Many of you might have already seen the manicure I'm posting today, as I shared it with you on facebook a few weeks ago. I must specify that these are not my nails in the pictures, they are a friend's. I started with two coats of BB Cream Boutique -02 Sparkling Red (which is ironic because the polish is actually gold) on all nails except from the ring finger. Then I applied striping tape horizontally and also black nail polish above. By removing the tape, I got those beautiful, golden stripes. On my ring finger I applied two coats of Avon -Well being and then I stamped the leopard design from m57 Konad plate. I applied some gold polish to complete the design. I finished with clear top coat on all nails. What do you think?

Guest post at Josephine's World

Hi,
Today I'll show you a guest post I wrote for one of my favourite blogs, Josephine's World. If you haven't seen it yet, it's worth visiting - her manicures are really pretty. 

I've been thinking of what manicure I should prepare, and I've decided to do something that any of you can do with things you have at home: a dish-washing sponge or a make-up sponge, striping tape and three close nuances of nail polish.

On my ring finger, I started with a no-name light pink base colour. I cut several pieces of striping tape and put them randomly on the nails. After that, I applied a coat of red polish (I used Illamasqua -Allara) and I waited for a few minutes so as to dry. I finished with a clear top coat. 
If you don't know where to buy the striping tape, I got mine from Born Pretty store. 

On the rest of the nails, I started with a white base colour (I used Illamasqua -Scorch). On a sponge, I created a gradient of red, dark pink and light pink polish and I applied it on the nail as you can see in the picture below. I finished with a clear top coat.

If you don't like the red-pink combo you may use any colours you like. What do you think?

This was my first guest post on another blog and I really enjoyed it. I even thought of creating
a series of guest posts on my blog. Would anyone be interested in writing a guest post for
Konad Addict?

Striped manicure

Hi,
Today I'll show you a manicure I created using striping tape.
I started with two coats of Astor -Fashion Studio #070 and then I cut 3 small pieces of tape 
for each nail. I stuck them diagonally and then, using a sponge, I applied Illamasqua -Nomad
and Golden Rose #04 on the tips. I finished with a clear top coat. This is the final result.
What do you think?

Striped manicure using nail foils

 Hi,
Today I'll show you a very easy to do nail art using nail foils and striping tapes. 
I started with a nude base colour and then I applied carefully the special foil glue. 
After it was completely dried, I stuck small pieces of Ocean Mist foil on each nail
and pushed them with my fingers, in order that the design could imprint well.Then 
I applied diagonally three pieces of 1/32 striping tape on each nail and painted 
my nails with Illamasqua -Scorn. Finally, I removed the tape and applied
a clear top coat. What do you think?

Today I'll show you a summer manicure I easily created.
I started with two coats of ZOYA -Jolene and then I applied Illamasqua -Gamma
on the tips, using a sponge. On my ring finger I applied some striping tapes diagonally 
and applied a coat of Illamasqua -Scorn above. I finished with a clear top coat.
What do you think?

Half nail flowery manicure

Hi,
Here's my latest Konadicure.
I applied two coats of Flormar Plus Quartz #003 and then I applied
a coat of Picture Polish - Marine on half nail.
I stamped the design from m35 with Special White.
Finally, I put on black striping tape for contrasting the colors and applied a top coat.

What do you think?
