Holiday Design #10



This is a very simple and lovely design. Use the simple french tips from M19 as the base for the design and then use a special green and red polish to fill in the line pattern on M65. You don't have to paint on the whole pattern. Paint half of it since you are only using it for the tips of the nails.

Try aligning the design to the french tips by following the straight edges from the pattern on M65.



Sorry for the lack of updates... was sick the past few days and still kind of sick ><

Enjoy your holiday!

Holiday Design #9



A very simple design using M12. All you need to do is paint your nails
in a clear to light glitter polish. Then use the special white nail polish
for the designs. You can be more creative by using colours.

The snowfall is done by dipping a pen, toothpick, etc into the white polish
and dabbing it on the places desired on the nail.

Have fun and stay healthy for the holidays =]

Holiday Design #8



This is a very simple but elegant design. All you need is M71 =]
A polish colour as the base with a bit of glitter makes the design stand out.
Black or white will look great for this design, depending on the base you
decide to use. This design reminds me of wrapping paper. You can also
add some rhinestones if you like =]

Holiday Design #7



Another snowflake design, but with rhinestones!
This will be great for parties or for special occasions... Christmas Eve or New Years?
Paint your nails in a light colour, then use the special white nail polish for the design.
Then put on the rhinestones in the middle of each snowflake =]

To put on the rhinestones:
01. dab a small amount of top coat onto the desired spot on the nail
02. find a toothpick, pen, or anything thin
03. dip the toothpick, pen, etc into the top coat to pick up the stone
04. place the rhinestone on the nail on the desired spot
05. apply a layer of top coat on the whole nail so that the stone is more secure

Holiday Design #3

This is another snowflake design, but including a french tip design.
You can do the french tips by hand or you can use plate M19.
A variety of snowflakes are used in this nail design.
All of the snowflakes used are on M59 for this specific design.

The small white dots can be done by dipping a toothpick or
a pen into the white polish for a snowfall effect.


Holiday Design #2

Sorry for the delay guys. I was not able to access the internet last night so I will be posting up 2 new designs today =]


This is a candy cane inspired design. You will need M45 to do this specific design.
Feel free to use other colour combinations =]



When doing this design, try doing the white before the colour.
It will be easier to overlap the colour onto the white even if you
make a small mistake.

You can do this straight across the tips of your nails or diagonally.

You can use a glitter top coat or the nail art polishes for the tips.

Halloween Designs!

Halloween is just around the corner and here are a few simple designs you can do with plate #M13 and M14. M13 is the Halloween themed plate. M14 is used for the lollipop you see on the right of the pumpkin. You can combine designs from different plates to create your own design.

On the 3rd nail design, all the images are from plate M13 (the blood, "Halloween" text, and the pumpkin)

use several different colours to create a different effect, like the 2nd nail design you see with the zombies. It helps to separate objects.

Please click on the images to enlarge.



Essential colours:
- black, orange, white, deep red

For a spider's web effect, M57 has the crosshatch design that can be used as the background for the spiders from M28. Don't forget about the skulls on M13 and M28. You don't have to use the whole design. You can paint on top of the bones and create a separate design from the skull.



Add some bows or some french tip designs for a decorative and sophisticated touch.

having troubles!?

The Konad products from Wow Wow Nails are authentic and if the product is not working for you, these may be the reasons:
  • they are copies/imitations of the product
  • you may not be doing the stamping/process correctly
All the Konad image plates have a sticker on the back "www.konadnail.com" and if it has nothing on the back but just the metal, then it may be an imitation.



Having troubles getting the design onto the stamper!?

When you are stamping the image off the plate, please do not press on it for more than 1 second. When you hold the stamper for too long onto the design, it air dries and will no longer transfer onto the stamp. The lines are VERY fine and intricate.

Hope I helped some of your problems =]
There are unlimited possibilities for this product and it would be a shame if you gave up on it so quickly =]

Please visit www.wowwownails.com for more info.
They have two locations in Toronto and are willing to help you through the process.

They have free demos and instructions on how to use the product correctly =]

There are many ways to use the Cherry Blossom design. Like all the other designs, you can repeat the design in the same colour or with different colours. Here are a few examples of designs you can do with Image Plate M31 =]
