Hey all, since today is the last day of October (Breast Cancer Awareness Month) I decided to post another "Think Pink" Design since I think this is such an important issue. This time I did something a little more simple, it's just a basic french mani with some pink ribbon nail decals. I meant to post these up sooner, but I was actually waiting on some pink ribbon rhinestone decals that I had ordered. I was planning to add them to the thumb & ring fingernails. Sadly they didn't get here in time so I'm just gonna post up the design I have as is.

Hey, just a quick post! This is the first time I ever did a french manicure so I wanted to show it off. I took this pic before I cleaned the sides off cause I wasn't done with this mani yet. After this pic, I decorated it a little & I will show that off in my next post, but for now just wanted to show off my basic french tips attempt.

Hey everyone! Here's a quick kotd! This is actually the first kotd I did without using Konad special polish. I used Sinful Colors Secret Admirer which is a glittery dark gray polish, it worked pretty well. I think this konadicure looks better in person than in the pics but since the base coats I used were both very metallic they didn't photograph that well cause of all that shine. I tried taking a pic without the flash but it didn't come out too well, but you get the idea! Anyways, hope u like, have a great day! : )   M64 w/Sinful Colors Secret Admirer, Love4Nails Rosebud, WnW Metallica XOXO, Deriniti

Since this month is breast cancer awareness month I wanted to do a "THINK PINK" design! This is actually my current manicure & I dedicate it to my mother. First off, today is her birthday (Happy Birthday Mom!) and second, by the grace of God she is a breast cancer survivor! Love You Mom! Here are a couple great sites to get more information on breast cancer or to make a donation: www.breastcancer.org/ & www.nationalbreastcancer.org/ .

Hey! It's been a couple days since I posted a new design, was busy making a new header for my blog, lol. Hope you likey, I'm finally gettin the hang of photoshop! haha... I also want to say welcome to my new followers!!! Ok, now on to the nails...this next design I got to play with my new rhinestone wheel, yey! Fyi, you can get rhinestone wheels for a really cheap price on ebay! I'm talkin around like $2! And there's lots of different wheels to choose from so whatever shape, color or size rhinestone you're looking for, you'll probably be able to find it there! I bought 3 wheels so far, I will post a pic of them in the next couple days so you can see what they look like. Anyways, here's my design for today:  M64 - Konad White S.P., Pure Ice Wet T-Shirt & Wn'W Hallucinate XOXO, Deriniti

I really like how this mani came out. I absolutely love this pattern! As for the colors, I used konad white special polish over a dark glittery purple basecoat, but they came out looking more like black & white. It all depends on how the light hits them.  M63 - Konad White Special Polish & Wn'W Night Prowl In this second pic, I took the same manicure & decided to experiment a bit with this new iridescent shade I bought, Sinful Color's You Just Wait. As you can see, it gives off a sheer yellow iridescent shine & depending on how the light hits it, it could sometimes even look greenish. In the bottle, the shade looks more like a sheer shimmery baby pink with yellow pearl-like shine, but on the nails the yellow was much more apparent than pink. Overall though, it gave a nice effect, which one do you like better?  Same as above with Sinful Colors You Just Wait XOXO,   Deriniti 

Yesterday I posted a konadicure I had done with a pattern off of image plate M74. Here's another one I did using that same pattern. M74 - Konad Pink Special Polish, Pure Ice Platinum, Wn'W Hallucinate

This design is from plate M74. I don't really like how this particular konadicure came out, but wanted to post it anyway to show an example of how this pattern from plate M74 looks. M74 - Konad White SP, Wn'W Buffy the Violet Slayer & Hallucinate

Hey guys! This is an older design I did. For the base I did a gradient effect using an eyeshadow applicator & sponging from light to dark purple. I used a light, medium & dark purple to create the fade effect, but I can't remember which exact polishes I used for this, sorry. I do know they weren't opaque, they were all shimmery polishes. After the base dried I konaded on my white flowers. I think this design would be cuter with some clear rhinestones added to the center of the flowers, not sure why I didn't do that, I'm guessing I didn't have my rhinestone wheel at the time I did these.

For this design I applied a purple base coat followed by a purple glitter polish. I used multiple images from plates M53, M63 & M81 to create this look. I then added some purple rhinestones to the flowers. Btw, these nails are very glittery, the pictures don't truly capture how glittery they are.  M53, M63, M81 - Konad White S.P. & Wn'W Metallica, Wn'W Wild Card & Sinful Colors I Miss You

This was one of my first Konadicures. I used the zigzag design pattern on plate m78. Before trying it out I didn't think I was gonna like it as much as I did but it's actually a really nice pattern. Hope you like!  Plate M78 - N.Y.C. Fuschia Shock Creme & Konad White Special Polish XOXO, Deriniti

Here's a list of some helpful tips & tricks for Konading: * Konading can be a little messy, so cover your work area with some paper towels or something, I use an old game board to protect my work surface * You should paint a clear top coat over your base coat before applying Konad so that if you make a mistake it will be easier to fix without messing up your base coat * Wipe image plate & stamp with acetone nail polish remover after each use. You should also occasionally wipe off your scraper because the polish builds on it which makes it hard to properly scrape * Work quickly! Otherwise, the image may not transfer properly due to the polish drying * Use a "rolling" motion when using the stamp to pick up the design from the image plate & also when stamping the design onto your nail * If you make a mistake, quickly dab a q-tip in nail polish remover & remove the mistake * If you have trouble getting the image to transfer from the image plate to the...

   I just wanna do this post for anyone who doesn't know what Konad is cause I do a lot of Konad designs. It's a nail art kit used to put designs on your nails with the use of a stamp and pre-designed image plates. I'm not a distributor but there are a few websites to purchase Konad from so I suggest just googleing it. The basics you need to perform a Konadicure (Konad manicure) are a stamp, an image plate & Konad special polish. You will also need something you can use to scrape access polish off your image plate with. You can either purchase one of their scrapers or just use an old library card or something like that (make sure it's something you don't mind getting nail polish all over).     Here are the basic steps on how to Konad: Choose a design from the image plate that you'd like to use. (There are several plates to choose from that consist of all types of images & designs; each individual plate has a few different designs inscribed in it)...
