Konad plate m84

Today’s nail post is a little different from usual. Recently I was sent a Konad plate, courtesy of Nail Polish Canada, to try. Since m84 is one of the newest plates from Konad, I thought I should give the full lowdown on this uber-girly stamp plate.

m84 is a pretty versatile plate of 8 designs: 1 full-nail stars design, 4 florals (roses, lilies, and lotuses), 1 bow with hearts, and 1 lip print.

Check out the composite below, with each design stamped on my nails (using China Glaze First Mate as base and Orly Dazzle for stamping)

China Glaze First Mate is such a lovely navy polish; can you believe I’m only wearing one coat in these pictures?

for audrey + gold crackle

China Glaze For Audrey • Color Club Tattered in Gold

I’m so behind on the crackle/shatter polish trend (is it even a trend anymore?) I wasn’t totally sold on it when it was first making the rounds on blogs, but I’ve finally picked up my first crackle—and first Color Club polish—Tattered in Gold.

I was inspired by a sky blue/gold crackle combo I saw. Sadly, Tattered in Gold’s antiquey-gold shade doesn’t contrast enough with For Audrey’s turquoise to make it pop, so I’m a bit disappointed with the results. Next time I’ll pair it with something darker.

Rimmel English Rose • Orly Luxe • Konad image plate m60

This isn’t the greatest picture, but I really loved how this one turned out. I stamped the design on my nails at different angles/using different parts of the design since I like a little irregularity in my nail art :>
