Fill. Fall Nails brown leaves




I did a fill this week , could not believe not one nail broke !!!! I must have done something right he he he .
For this Manicure I used sinful colors hip hip , konad special polish in dark brown/burgundy color . I used the leaf design from image plate M 31.
How long did it take for you to learn how to use Konad? I have a client who brought a whole bunch of polishes from me and plates and she can't get the hang of using the stamp. She can now transfer the stamp to paper but can not transfer the image to her nail.
I did a small konad class at lunch for her , it was fun . I was wondering how long did it take other Konaders like myself . It took me about two days I think.

Added silver stars halloween #3


I added silver stars to my nails . I kind of like having them this long. So far have been lasting pretty good. Usually by now I would have done another layer of gel or would have broken one.
I think the utube videos I found have helped a lot. Perfect nails for my witch costume.

Hallowen #3 new nails


New Halloween nails !
I didn't like the nails I had before so I did a whole new set .... I even did new tips. These are clear gel builder Overlay , over medium nail tips
.
I painted them black to go with my Halloween costume I am going to be a Witch. When get closer to Halloween I think I am going to add some silver stars to match the sleeves on my costume .
I think I could really use some pointers on filing near the cuticle and doing a more neater paint job . However I kind of like these I did them longer than I usually do . I guess you could call these Halloween Talons lol.

black and orange pumpkins

We took the kids , little Richard and Miss Nat Nat to the church Festival and The Pumpkin Patch this weekend . Than Little Ricky and I did the CHOC Walk on Sunday at Disney Land.

I used IM plate M44 and M13 the Pumpkin Design!!! I still need to work on shaping of my nails.

I find that at times I don't use enough gel and the shapes often are off some are longer , some are shorter . The shapes are not very neat .

Know what they say practice makes perfect and I am constantly doing my nails . It's pretty much become an obsession almost . I do hope that once I get to where I should be that I won't be doing them as frequent and that I'll spend less time doing them . I am hoping to produced neater and cleaner nails .

Halloween skulls and spiders !


Here is another manicure . I decorated my Yard Yesterday and one of my nails broke :( darn Yard work . I had bought some "Happy Halloween " stuff , but ended up doing the Yark in "Spooky Halloween".

I put up awsome tomb stones and skulls on my lawn and I have two scarey monsters. One is hanging in a tree and the other is sitting on my bench . I hope the kiddies don't get scared !

On to my Mani , the broken nail was easily repaired and being in the Halloween mood , I decided to do a Halloween Mani . I bought this amazing orange color at Walgreens for $1.00.

I used Sinful nail colors in Courtney Orange . It's nice Orange and isn't shocking or electic , a nice fall color. I choose the skulls from IM plat M13 and the spider from IM plate M1.

I even did my toes to match . I love my Konad stamps !
