Today I have 2 manicures to show you. They were actually meant for the Valentine's Day, but I don't think they will last =) The first one is China Glaze Strawberry Fields. I did some konad on it too, which I hated immediately, so this is the only picture I'm going to show you. This is 4 coats, because I had visible nail line. Strawberry Fields is an odd polish. Everyone says it looks better on everyone else. So do I =) I like the pictures better than the real life version!
Then I have this manicure, which is a remake of Nail Junkie's manicure, but not as beautiful. I realized that she stamped the hearts seperately, which is a better idea, because I was in a hurry and I had a hard time aligning them, trying not to smudge. The smaller side of the stamper works better on me. Plus, hers looks much cuter =)
I used a very stark white creme for this, and applied it very carefully. Then I went over it with a coat of sheer white, which is a good idea, because it smooths the surface and makes white more even and glossy. Then I stamped using m59 and special polish in red.
I think I've become addicted to cleaning cuticles with a brush. It's fun, relaxing, and helps me to achieve nicer looking cuticles!

ReplyDeleteThank you Catherine =) It's an interesting color, everybody I know thinks it looks better on someone else =D
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Strawberry Fields (I was just today considering painting it too... but I went for a quick half-day green instead! Back to pink tmrw, lol). But your Valentine's Day mani is ADORABLE!! I want it! it's so cute :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Brooke =) I'm sure you can do it even better! Mine smudged a lot. Note to self: Be careful when dealing with red, it's as bad as the special black =)
ReplyDeleteLove the red and white hearts mani! Very cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute Valentines's Day Konadicure! Simple and sweet. I don't know about CG's Strawberry Fields, I guess I have a Love-Hate connection with this polish. One day I think it looks good, the next I hate it. Crazy me ;-)
ReplyDeleteStrawberry Fields is such a nice colour, I can't stop staring my nails when I wear it. And the Konad is too cute! Very Valentine. :)
ReplyDeleteThey are very attractive these hearts
ReplyDeleteBoth look great! Really in the Valentine mood:)
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your Valentine's Day inspired konadicure! :)
ReplyDeleteStrawberry Fields looks pretty. I haven't bought it yet but its on my wishlist since the release. :D
thank you my friends =) I'm glad you liked it =) charis, you're right! I feel the same with this polish =) Not exactly hate, but I sometimes think it's an ordinary polish and sometimes I think it's spectacular =)
ReplyDeletejeanette, I believe it would look wonderful on you =)
michelle, you lucky girl! I bet it looks wonderful on you... maybe because my skin has yellow undertones, it doesn't complement mine as it does with the pink undertones...
Your swatches are really nice. I also love your konad!! I have been thinking about getting involved with Konad, but I just have not taken the first step yet.
ReplyDeleteYou really should! It's very easy and fun to do =) I'd love to see you do some konad =)
