Konad Nail Stamp Art: Leafy Tips and OPI Kreme de la Kremlin





This is one of my favorite Konads to date. I didn't get the fancy french tip plates at first because I found them ugly, especially the solid black tips; it's like there's dirt underneath the nails. Eww. However, I kinda like the black polish on fancy french tips, like these leafy images. Now, I am hooked! I also realized that french-tipping your nails using the Konad stamp is a lot easier than using those sticker guides or even those french tip brushes which you dip in acetone to perfect your french tip "smile" or crescent. I can't wait to apply traditional white french tips using the Konad stamper.

I've had OPI Kreme de la Kremlin for about a year now, but this is the first time I've used it. I like it; it's a neutral-ish brown pink. It kinda reminds me of the classic Revlon polish in Teak Rose, which is one of my favorites (and I will never forget that I wore it on my toes when I gave birth to my baby =D). I love cream formulas in polish, and it's also my favorite nail polish formula - it's classic and classy at the same time.

Have a great day and hope you enjoyed the leafy tips!

OMG I am TOTALLY in love with this! Is that shade a perm. shade, or was it limited? Also, where do you get the nail stamps from? I'd love to get some.

Dazzleglam- thanks! :) I believe it's a limited from the Russia collection. I got the nail stamps from wowsocool.com.

Hi Kim,

LONG time no hear from you! Was in NYC last year, too bad we didn't see each other. Do you like to have some designs on your nails and do you have time/patience with it? It has a little bit of a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, it's really fun and it really puts your creative juices to work.

Keep in touch! You know how to reach me.
