Here you can see the shape of the rose much better. It just looks much more sparkeling in the first pichures of it.

I admit it is a bit hard to see, but it does really look good. I think the rose is really cute.

Orchid Bow

Now i have been wearing Essie Virgin Orchid. It is a ligth red, you can see your nails truth it though, so a bit hard to apply.

To spice it up i had a pink Bow on 1 nail on each hand, very cute, i think.

Review of imageplate CK-01

I got the Imageplate CK-01 from KandNail from Born Pretty Store as i promised all you lovely readers, here comes a review.

First a pichure of the plate, it contains 42 images. Mainly to do nail tips with. There is alot of beautiful designs, and some of the designs are made 2 times for different kinds of nails, so the same design just a wider option, or for a shorter nail. I think that is a really good thing. Taken to the fact that alot have a tomb nail ther is a bit wider than the rest.
Stamping plate CK-01 KandNail
Then for the price, i can only compare to Konad product that i normaly use, and this is much cheaper. this plate with 42 images cost $ 8.53. The small round Konad plates i have cost around $ 10 and have less than 10 images. So this plate is really value for money.

As mentioned in my blogpost yesterday, you can get 5% of any purchase in Born Pretty Store by using the coupon code LENEW21

Now i have only tryed one of the designs on the plate yet. and hopefully i will post some more designs from this plate in the following weeks:-)

Plate and nailpolish
For the design i desided to use Essie Sexy Divide and Konad silver special polish to stamp on. Not easy to see but the Essie polish is a dark purpel color. 

The design i choose, is 2 flowers, it is supposed to go on a nail tip, but i desided to use it as a whole nail stamp, that have given some "funny" edges, but cant blame that on the image plate. My nails are just not long enough to have the stamp on the tips.

The designs are quite small, so fits better with small fingers, than with wide fingers, that migt be the only bad thing i have to say about this plate. But KandNails have made more of this kind of image plates, and if you have wide nails, i can recomend and plate with others designs on, they have designs there is going on the middel of a finger instead of having to fit the size of the finger. 

I had a concern to the fact that i normaly use small round plates, an a plate holder, and how it would work with a big plate instead, but it worked out great. The plate is so big it is easy to work on, and dont move, when it is on a flat tabel and you use the scraper. 

Compared to the images on Konad plates, they are just as easy to use, mabey better, atleast i dident have to redo a singel design using this plate, i sometimes do that with Konad. 

And at last some pichures of my nails after using this plate.

Unicorn magic day

Today i have a very simple manicure to show you, but i really like it, i made it for the weekend where we had christening for my little son, so it had to be boy-ish. So i decided to use Essie Mezmorize, and to make it special and a bit magic i used some simple rihnestones.

When i saw this challenge i did think og magic fairy dust, and make it alle sparkel and glitter, but i actually think that rhinestones looks magic too, and this is just a very simpel magic manicure.

Sorry for the bad pichures, had to take them quickly, and dident noticed they where this bad..









This manicure is my Unicorn magic day manicure for the purpel fairy crumpet spring challenge.

Flower bed...

Now for the promised manicure of the day for the The Purpel Crumpet Fairy Challenge. It is supposed to be small flowers/ flower bed.

I wanted to do som stamping so i started to choose som small flower looking things on my konad image plate m3.
Then i first used a base color, i user Essie Pretty edgy, then i started stamping lotst of small flowers, in Wet n Wild Tickled Pink, and Konad Special polish in Red and Purpel.

When my nails looked like this i considered stop stamping more, but i didnt stop.

I like how my nail look, but only have one issue... They are not spring like, the color are too dark for spring, should have used a mint green instead og Essie Pretty edgy for base. But im happy with how they look anyway.

Valentine mani - gone wrong

I think i did a bad job on the silver hearts for a valentines design, so i desided to do a new valentine design. But this was not only bad, it is nearly not worth showing you. But i decided to show anyway.

I have been looking into the Purple Crumpet Fairy Spring Challenge, and the first manicure is a valentine design, so this is my first design for the challenge.

I did use Essie Rock Candy - that was my first big mistake for this mani. Rock Candy i believed was a cute babydoll pink, is a sheer. And i wanted it to cover my nails, so ended up with a really thick layer. Anyway, i did take som pichures to put on a rewiev, to show you soon. so not more about the bad choose af base color.

Then i wanted to do some stamping, with Konad Plates m2 and m3. Both of them got hearts on, and i wanted to do different types of hearts.

First for my nail on my tomb, i desided to make shaddows, so black shaddows and red hearts on top. But after i first did som nice black hearts, and then stamped red hearts on top, i could not see red, but only black, the red color simply could not cover up the black. 

Then on to my ringfinger, when i tryed to stamp that, the base nail polish simply stuck to the stamp, and came half of... thats why it looks even worse. Problem was the way to thick layer of Essie Rock Candy.

Then i did some red hearts on my index finger, that acctualy went well. For the stamping i used GCOCL stamping nail polish in red and Black.

At last i re did my middle finger like 10 times, it just keept going wrong, but it was my last finger to do, and the rest looking like crap i settled on that to look like crap too, one of the hearts is only half.

So now i pretty much done everything wrong, so hopefulle this post can help to tell what not to do to make a nice manicure.

At laste some pichures, than you can see for you self.
