Late In November

This is my late fall manicure. It’s supposed to look like fall leaves, already on the brown dirt ground. It is also my first Konad-icure ever. I have seen so many talented manicures done with Konad, and I’ve tried to master the secret several times, but failed miserably.

Tonight, I can report victory, and it is spelled pure acetone! As soon as I cleaned my plate and stamper with that, the pattern transferred with great ease to my nails.
So easy, yet so frustrating, I have had my Konad set for about a year, not being able to use it.

So, this is my very first attempt at this, and of course it is a little of key, but I’m happy with the result anyway. I started with my delicious No 6 Chunky Chocolate, the Konad is CG Delight and Magical from the Romantique Collection.

Edit: I was inspired from this great Konadier: http://apolishproblem.blogspot.com/2009/11/yes-another-falling-leaves-mani.html

Now I realize, many girls have been tempted to use this Konad plate, here is another that was prior to my attempt, although I did not find her until today:

So, not really unique, but actually I'm proud of it anyway!

Yummy Mummy!

I know there is a totally different polish by Butter London that goes by this name, but trying out my first polish from Beauty Judy, I certainly felt yummy. This polish makes me want to lick my fingers!

The colour is Chunky Chocolate, a dark, crème brown. It is so glossy it was hard to see where to put the top coat, so my application wasn’t perfect. In real life though, that doesn’t matter, all you can see is a super shiny, begging to be eaten chocolate colour. This was three coats with an (uneven) CG FF as top coat.

Incidentally, it is a perfect match for the only sweets I eat nowadays, high quality dark chocolate with 85% or more cocoa. Yummy indeed!
