China Glaze Tree Hugger + Konad NOTD


When I paint my nails, I usually have no idea what to do and what color to choose, so I just grab the ones I haven't worn yet.
I picked up OPI Green-wich village and painted my nails... then thought it looked kinda dull so I topped it off with CG Tree Hugger and I loved the result! This NOTD makes me feel lucky! ^_~

Here are the nail polish I used:
OPI Natural Nail Base Coat, OPI Green-wich Village, China Glaze Tree Hugger, Konad Special Nail Polish in White and Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat

also tried my free fauxnad plate from bornprettystore and my Konad stamper set
I don't know if its just me but its so hard to pick up the image! it took me countless tries before the image stuck to the rubber. KONAD FAIL. I gave up on my right hand after an hour of trying really hard, it drove me crazy! >.<

on another note, I want to thank all of you who left comments on my last tag post, appreciated my handwriting and found it 'cute', OMG. All my life I have been frustrated and envied my friends who have the perfect cursive or block type of handwriting. Hahaha! Thank you lovelies for turning my frustration into joy. BIG bearhugs to all of you!

Hello Konad!

After a long time lemming for it... I finally got a hold of a couple of Konad stamping nail art kits! I was surprised to see a local supermarket (Shopwise, Alabang) selling authentic Konad. Imagine me on the way to get hand soap then spotting the Konad booth, of course I stopped and shopped! Lurvey had no idea, when he caught up with me he was like, "where's the soap?" and with my puppy dog eyes and pouty lips, I told him to get it instead. Off he went to the soap aisle as I continued choosing my first few Konad plates. Muahahaha >:)

I just got the basic stuff, a double sided stamp set (as MACnunu suggested), a sponge nail art set, some special Konad nail polish and three Konad plates (M3, M57 & M79). ^_^




I'm glad I waited a while and didn't purchase through eBay as prices here are better compared to online sellers. I spent approx. USD65 for everything you see on the photos above. (sorry, I lost the receipt and forgot their individual prices). 

I can't wait to stamp my nails away! The only thing bothering me is cleaning up the edges after. *hello, lazypants!*

Have you tried Konad? Got any tips or suggestions? I definitely NEED some. ;)

G - your friendly Konad noob :P
