KONAD PEDICURE | Pink & Black Leopard Nail Art Design & TUTORIAL!!

I love this pedi! I think it's my favorite one I did so far. I was even more excited when it finally started to get warm and this was the first pedi I got to wear with flip flops this season!! =D I also wanted to do tutorials for some of my pedi's, but I wasn't really thrilled about having my feet on YouTube. So instead I think I am going to do pic tutorials for my pedi's. Since this post is very pic heavy, I'm going to shut up now and let you know the products I used so we can get to the tutorial. lol

KONAD PEDICURE| Cute Spring Bright Pink & Blue Pedicure Nail Art Design

This is my latest Konad pedicure. I did a design very similar to this a while back, but never took pics. =( So since the colors worked well for Spring, and since Spring officially starts tomorrow- I figured this would be the perfect time to try this pedicure out again. I LOVE this color combo and have some manis planned out for summer with the same color scheme.

KONAD LEOPARD NAILS | Deco Leapord Nail Art Design

I fell in love with this design when I saw it on Dominique Renee's tumblr & just had to try it out. I believe she handpainted her design, but since I don't have that much skill, I figured a Konad would be in order. I also added gold glitter and rhinestones between the leopard spots to make the design a little different. I have noticed I have been doing a lot of inspirational manis lately. lol. But I figured I would do another design before I start my Mardi Gras and St. Patricks Day manis. Oh yeah, ignore the slight smudging on my index finger. For some reason when I went to apply the rhinestones, I used just a cheap top coat, completely forgetting that the stamping could smudge with some top coats. Needless to say, I used Seche on the rest of them lol.

KONAD NAIL ART | Pink Zebra Nail Design

Here is my current mani. Of course, my pics did not come out as well as I hoped for. Ignore the slight tip wear, these nails were a few days old when the pics were taken. But I am going to get better at taking pics indoors so I can take pics of my manis when they are fresh to death. lol

I ordered lots of rhinestones, pearls, beads, glitters, spangles, nail canes, & more fun stuff so once I get them in the mail I will be sure to post pics of all the stuff I got and a quick review on them.

KONAD Nail Art | Cotton Candy Zebra Nail Art

I'm sure you seen plenty variations of this design lurking around the Internet. I really like these two colors together and they reminded me of cotton candy hence the title. I thought these colors would look really neat under some black zebra stripes and I think it would out pretty well.

Since I haven't posted in forever, I am going to show you a few pictures I took in between posting. I took ALL of these pictures with my cell phone camera, so please excuse the quality. Also, most of my pictures I took in my car or on the go, in case your wondering about the backgrounds lol.

Orly "Space Cadet"

* 2 coats *

This picture does absolutely no justice for this color. It's like a dark green, purple, goldish, pinkish duochrome foil looking nail polish and I am in love with it. The colors are perfect for fall and the application was flawless.

I wanted to do really girly nails and this is about as girly as it gets. lol It would have been even cuter if I added some rhinestones on the polka dots, but I will the next time I used this design. I have the products I used, in the orders I used them below ..

Base Color: Sinful Colors "Cream Pink"

Glitter Color: Sinful Colors "Pinky Glitter"

Polka Dot Image: BM 19 with Konad Special White Polish

Crown Images: BM 08 with Konad Pearl Black Polish

Top Coat: Seche Vite

I believe this was the first nail design I made with my Bundle Monster image plates. This was also before I started using Seche Vite top coat, so my other top coat smudged the hearts a little bit.

Base Color: Sinful Colors "Glass Pink"

Pink Tip Color: Flormar "32"
Nail Tip Design: BM 17 with Konad Pearl Black Special Polish
Heart Design: BM 03 with Konad Pearl Black Special Nail Polish

This is a nail design that I obviously did way back during summer. I used the sponging technique to fade yellow, orange, and pink and used a glitter color on top to help blend the colors.



Base (Yellow) Color: Sinful Colors "Let's Meet"

Orange Color: Sinful Colors "Cloud 9"

I did this nail design in the begining of my nail stamping days. Needless to say, I will have a much more interesting design next 4th of July. But I figured I would post it since it's simple and still might give someone an idea for their nails.

I am going to try to post weekly for now on so keep checking back. AANNNNNDDDD .. i am debating to get a video camera so I can post nail tutorials on YouTube, if and when I do I will be sure to post lots of links. =)
