Fall Stripes- Twin post with Jajuana from Mani's by Moore


Hello, everyone!
Today I'm sharing another twin post with the talented Jajuana from Mani's by Moore.  We selected plate BM-411 as our theme.  I decided to combine the stripes and the heart beat designs from the plate into a simple fall-inspired design.

For the brown nails, I chose Revlon Top Speed Stormy and stamped with Revlon Top Speed Espresso (I love this brown!).  For my accent nail, I used China Glaze Life Preserver and stamped with Orly Prince Charming.  I decided to try to tie the two colors together by using the Espresso to stamp the heart beat.  The plate is BM-411 from the newest Bundle Monster set.

I hope you are having a great fall day, Konaddicts!  I can't wait to see what Jajuana comes up with!

Jackpot!


Hello, everyone!
I wanted to share with you my slot machine nails!  I decided to take a break from the wonder that is the newest set of Bundle Monster plates to try out a plate that I've wanted to use for a long time.

This cute slot machine design is from Cheeky plate CH33.  I was feeling too lazy to make so many decals, so I just stamped it with Wet n Wild Black Creme over a base of NYC French White.  I got out my tiniest nail brush and an assortment of colors - I tried to select some that were a little sheer - and got to painting!



I used NYC Broadway Burgundy Frost for the 7s, Wet n Wild Red Red and Sinful Happy Ending for the cherries, L'Oreal Gems B Outrageous for the bells, and Sally Hansen Insta Dri Orchid Express for the - well - whatever that thing is!

To mix things up a bit, I made an accept nail with Color Club Gingerbread Man topped with China Glaze Blonde Bombshell.

Here's wishing you a lucky, lucky day, Konaddicts!

Circuit Boards

Hi, everyone!
Today I'm wearing a quick manicure using a design from the newest Bundle Monster set.   The is Revlon Top Speed Emerald stamped with My Online Shop stamping polish in pastel green.  The design is from BM 415.  I did a little dotting with Essie No Place Like Chrome and filled in some space with my stamping polish to add a little variety.

We've got an overcast day; it's actually beginning to feel like Fall.  Stay warm and dry, Konaddicts!

Parisian Sunset


Woot, woot - my new Bundle Monster plates arrived!  I couldn't wait to try them out - in fact, I kept looking at the designs in anticipation of the set arriving.  The image that most caught my eye was the delightful cityscape.  Of course, the designs on this set were created by stampers for stampers, so the design is perfect!

I went with a sunset theme for this design.  I started with a base of Pure Ice Frosted Ice Georgia Peach.  From there, I sponged on my blue skies with Kleancolor Pastel Blue.  I used Sally Hansen Insta Dri Man-go Team for the bright orange in my sunset.  I decided to add a little bronze with Cover Girl Bronze Beauty to provide a bit of sparkle.


When I had my sponged background in place, I added black tips with Milani Black Magic.  Then I used Konad Special polish in Black for the stamping and my brand new BM 414 for the lovely buildings.  I wanted to make this a fully BM manicure, but the Eiffel tower on plate BM 419 was too long for my nails.  So, I used Cheeky's European Romance Jumbo Plate for the tower silhouette.  I used BM 419 to add the word "Paris" beside the tower.  I couldn't stop with this one, so I dotted a few "lighted" windows and building tops with red and yellow.

My thoughts on the new Create Your Own Bundle Monster set? C'est magnifique!
