Konad Haul

So my Konad order finally came on yesterday, and I was super excited to tear open the box and play with it.  I got 4 plates (M60, M63, M57, M77), a stamper, a scraper, and Special Polish in White.  I was pretty impressed with everything, although I do wish the stamper was two-sided.  I attempted a few designs on my nails, but was pretty much unsuccessful with them.  I hear it takes a little bit of practice, so I’m hoping to get better at it in due time.  Anyhow, once I get the hang of the whole thing I’ll definitely be posting some konad-manis.  Stay tuned!

Konad....

So I finally ordered my Konad stamper, 3 plates, and one of those "special" polishes in white.  I've been pretty intrigued, so to say, with Konad since I first heard about it.  I did think it was a little gimmicky, especially when I saw a few people of Youtube who had received and were doing reviews on it.  However, since then I have seen some really awesome nails design and I love that fact that it d-i-y.  I've actually been scouting it out to see if I could purchase it in store somewhere, but to no avail, I ended up just ordering it from wowsocool.com.  I had 30% off discount code so that incentivized me that much more to buy it.  I'll definitely be playing around with it as soon as I get it and will be reviewing as well as swatching many new nails designs!
