embellished nails

hi again. apparently living in a small midwest college town has killed my desire to dress up, 

so fancy nails will have to suffice.  

i got the idea for these beauties from a sophy robson youtube video.  

surprisingly, it's much easier to do than it looks.  plus it reminds me of japanese gel nails (which i've always wanted, but i can't bring myself to pay that much for a manicure. perhaps someday...sigh).

the adventure continues...

the konad adventure that is!  this is try #2.  i used plate s10. 

little silver bears! please excuse the ugly cuticles and bits of extraneous nail polish.  i got lazy to clean them and i figure it'll get taken care of in the shower anyway :/

konad!

my new-found obsession with konad is so exciting that i had to post!! it's been a while. it's been so sad and wintery here in illinois that i haven't had much to share fashion-wise :( as a side note, it's kind of amazing that i actually remembered all the information to sign in! :)

so after reading all these nail polish blogs (thanks eden) and learning what konad is, i finally got my own konad plates and here are the results...

 cherry blossoms!

 

it turned out kind of crappy because i'm still trying to master the whole process, but pretty nonetheless.  this is plate S9, by the way.
