Practicing with Konad

So i thought i would post some pics of the konad practice i've been doing. I am slowly getting better and i'm enjoying this new hobby of mine! I don't have a pic of what i have on now (i'll try to take some pics tomorrow) but let's just say there has been quite a improvement.


This is Essie Chinchilly with plate m26 using konad white special polish
i believe this was my 3rd of fourth manicure. I played it safe and went simple.






I really love this color from Essie. Very glad i picked it out. This is two coats.
i only took this off because my left ring finger was patched but gave out again after having it on for less than a day. Decided it was time to just chop off the nail. *sigh*




I used OPI Sapphire in the Snow with plate m57. This is a crappy pic but with the weather like it is, its the best i could do.
This was my second time with Konad and it was full of mistakes but for my first time doing a pattern, not too bad. I decided to leave it on despite all the mistakes just because i was running out of time. despite all the flaws, i was still proud of it. :)


But now that i look at it again... Yeesh... Haha


See that big smudge? Yikes
This is why i am practicing over the break. At this rate i will be much better by the time school starts up again.

Really excited about getting another plate and more konad polish options. I like using the konad special polish. Other polishes have been hard to work with, at least for me.

Anyway, see ya!
