Love Chain

you will need:
- base/top coat
- M80
- Konad special polish in white
- sheer - light base colour

This design can be done on short or long nails. You are creating a slight illusion of longer nails, by stamping tip designs diagonally along the tips.

You can do the tips in other colours.

Tips may be difficult to stamp on at first, but you just need to practice.

hope all of you are having a Happy New Year =]

Frosty the Snowman

you will need:
- M12
- base/top coat
- Konad special polish in White

This is a great design for the kids or even for someone older who is really into the Christmas spirit.

You can also choose to do this design on one of your nails instead of all.

Like the 'White Christmas' design, just use the nail art pen, toothpick or pen to dot the snow onto the nails above and around the snowman.

Happy Holidays =]
