Prepare yourself... and one of the new summer Zoya's

From my last post, I showed my flower manicure using the Sally Hansen designs. Don't get me wrong I love it, but its been a week and I want to change my polish! But I know how HTF the girl flower design is, so I don't want to waste it. And speaking of waste, the kit comes with 16 decals. So if you do the math, 16-10=6. Six wastes decals, because of course on the package it says, Dispose of unused decals. I am not trying to sound cheap, but No! I do not want to dispose of 6 awesomely designed nail decals ( Okay, I sound cheap but I dont care! ha ha)

Well, to kill two birds with one stone( I bet you a man made that one up..) I did this:


This is where the "prepare yourself" comes in..TOES!
Okay, that was one bird- Girl flower on my toes! ( I have to admit, this took guts because I hate my feet) Plus, no wasting of decal. My father who is a very cheap Puerto Rican man, would be so proud;)
And Yes, that is one of the new summer zoya's! It is Zoya Kieko. It is a purple almost jelly like color. Its kind of the half way line between pink and purple. I have to admit, I'm having a love affair with Zoya creams. I love their Duo chromes and glitters, but the creams that they have debuting have been amazing!
Also an update about my adventuring in Konad'n.. I still suck. I mean am I the only one that has a hard time getting the design to transfer to the stamp? I just can not seem to get it right. Boo Hiss!

But that's it for now, it is almost 12am, and I have work tomorrow, and then one of my closest friends is in NY for a few days to hang out:) Talk to you guys..er.. girls later!

  4. Thanks Steph_gem:) I do too, thats why I was like "throw away unused decals, what you talking about willis..er sally hansen!"

    Hey Pamela, when it comes to nail stuff, i agree! well ok, most things too, haha.

    Lol, it barely fit, Rebecca, I kinda was like YES! in my head when I got it on. They need to come out with a toe version now (are you reading this Sally Hansen people?)

  6. this is so cute! i totally agree with you on the zoya cremes I SWOON for them! They just apply soooooo well!

    As for Konad, watch people do it on Youtube and notice their technique. Here are some of my tips:
    1) Always apply a top coat before stamping, that way you can erase mess ups with a remover soaked q-tip without ruining your base coat.
    2) Instead of pressing hard on the plate with the stamp to pick up the image, try lightly rolling the stamper on the plate, I seem to have better luck with that technique, this is where watching youtube videos can help.
    3) Clean the image plate after every nail. I know its a pain, and it isn't always necessary, but it will ensure a clean pickup every time. For me a lot of times polish will get stuck in the design if I don't clean it which means some of the image might be missed when I try it on the next nail.

    Hope that helps! Feel free to email me, or comment on my blog if you have any questions.
