Finally, a mani that hasn't got Konading in it!

This mani is inspired by "Hime Gyaru", which in Japanese means "princess"...I think...it's basically anything girly, glittery,bows,pearls, Sparkles.. This is a very suble Hime Gyaru mani in comparison to some!
so first I started off with a base, then two coats of Misguided in Misbehave




I then added my favourite, a ceramic flower, to my ring finger, and a tiny pearl to the corner of each other nail. Like I said, it's very subtle, but I dont have enough gems/ sparklies to go OTT atm :D

A Starry Mani

Mooorning everyone!  Once again, I'm using my bundle monster plates!  I found this really cool staarry pattern,  and after I did it, it reminded me slightly of that ball that was in Toy Story! I obviously realise not all of you are Disney fans like me :D but it's what it looks like :)
so after doing a base coat, I then did two coats of yellow, Barry M #134.  This was still streaky even after two coats, it is quite old, so I had to fill in the gaps a bit.  And I'm not sure why the lighting/ the nail polish makes me fingers look so red!



And then I used Barry M #291 Cobalt Blue and the bundle monster plate #B20 for the design.  The blue didn't come out as bold as I would have liked; I definitely think the Konad polishes are better for stamping!




A Leafy Mani

I recently bought some Monster Bundle plates off of Amazon.co.uk, which were so cheap! They came in a pack of 21 so there was loads to choose from! For this mani I started with two thickish coats of Barry M mint green.  I know it looks blue in the pictures, but it's definitely green :)



Sorry for the blurry pictures! Anywhooo I then used Bundle Monster plate #, and used the special konad polish in black.
