Ins and Outs!

Hey Guys!

I like reading these so I thought I could contribute!!

Ins

Birthdays - Mine was on Monday and I had THE best day ever! I got lovely presents and a surprise phone call that made my day!

Big rings - I am currently obsessing with large rings, I am wearing a beautiful cream coloured rose from Accessorize and have another two in a similar style waiting to be worn on my dresser!

MAC Dazzleglass - So pretty and sparkly! My fave (this week!) is Love Alert.

Monsoon Sale - Loads of gorgeous skirts half price! Got myself two!

MAC Naked Honey Salve - Ahh-Mazing! I am gonna try and find a back up, its the only product I have ever felt the need to back up!

The Anticipation of A Holiday - The pre holiday shopping, the day dreams of sunny days and chilling by the pool.

Loosing Weight - Lost 1 stone now! 9lbs to go before my hols!!

Outs

Birthdays - This is the first year I feel old :(

The Weather - Urmmm its July..... wheres the sun and the heat? I feel like my life if wasting away waiting for the sun to come out. It makes me angry.

Loosing Weight - Or not loosing any weight this week! It has been my birthday though!!

Nude Lipstick - I cannot find one that works with me! Lollipop26 makes me want to wear a nude lip but I might have to admit I can't pull it off!

I think that's all for now! Wow, that was actually very therapeutic!!

Konad Nail Art

I came home from work today and found a little parcel on the kitchen table, inside were the Konad Nail art plates that I had ordered.

I read an article in the Sunday Times Style magazine about Katy Perry, and on closer inspection of the full page picture she had amazing leopard print nails. I instantly hit the web looking for a way to get this look.

I have heard about Konad recently through watching You Tube and reading more blogs and nail varnish sites. My impression is that it is quite well known in the US. Of course I went straight to You Tube and watched a few vids including this great one from xsparkage,

I figured this was the easiest way to get the leopard look!

I ordered the M57 plate the M56 and a little starter kit with the stamper and some of the special polishes.

My first attempt, well almost! The most presentable one anyway!

I actually found it quite difficult to do, more practice needed for sure! I'm excited to use these when I get the hang of it!

Have you used Konad? Any tips for me?!!
