Enchanted Garden

A colourful design for flowers in bloom =] I have not seen any flowers so far but I'm sure they'll be here in April =]

you will need:
- base/top coat
- M19, M65
- white konad special nail polish
- 3 konad special nail polishes
(I used pop green, purple, and yellow)
- any shade of pink (the brighter the better =])

For the multi-coloured flowers, all you have to do is place a small amount of the colours you want to use on 1/3 of the design (for each colour). Then stamp on the french tip.

If you do not like the hint of colour peeking through the white tip, do the french tip first and then the flowers last.

spring green

Another simple and fresh design for spring =]

you will need:
- base and top coat as always
- m45
- white konad special nail polish
- pop green princess special nail polish
OR
- green konad special nail polish
- clear glitter polish

The line of glitter polish pulls the whole design together so it's important to include that tiny bit of glitter! =]

I had a bit of difficulty giving this design a name. It reminds me of the ocean, the garden, and mermaids but have no idea what to call it. Any suggestions? =]

This is the pop green princess special nail polish. They are in the bigger bottles and contains 12ml of polish. This is a beautiful colour and great for spring/summer.

If you are interested in this colour, visit the Online Store =]

Chameleon


This is a very bold and fun design.

Like any other design, you may choose
to mix up the colour scheme.

you will need:
- M70
- black Konad special nail polish
- chameleon green
(this shade is called "Reclaim" by Nubar)

Any metallic colour will look great



Try painting your nails in a light glitter colour
and stamp the design in white =] you will create
a more feminine look.


The pattern is on the bottom right of the image plate.

This design reminds me of the Louis Vuitton pattern.





You can choose to paint your nails in a nude to light
pink shade and then use the brown Konad special nail
polish to stamp on the pattern =]

have fun =]
