Some pinks and a konad!

This is my new love, American Apparel Rose Bowl!
2 coats and it was perfect!
It's a little more peach than pink on me.

I got my new Bundle Monster plates heeheehee. I actually ordered them a month ago.
But I accidentally sent them to my mom's house -.-;
Totes worth the wait though, see how much more of my nail they cover? 
I stamped with Nina Ultra Pro in Velveteen Rabbit. 
And this isn't the most beautiful pic ever I know, I just wanted you to see the stamp! Still figuring out my camera.

OPI Sparrow Me the Drama, 3 coats.
Don't get me wrong, this is a beautiful cloudy pink. Just not for me.
I gave it to my coworker who better use it!

Zoya Lexi! 2/3 coats (I forget)
I could not get a proper picture of this gorgeous color!
It's a pink-purple polish, but it also has little pink and blue bits of glitter in it.
Waaaay better in real life than this pic.

I figured I'd keep it short and sweet this time, the pictures are starting to overflow on my computer. I bought one of the new AA Neons on my last haul. It is my first yellow polish, I hear they're a pain in the butt so I'm crossing my fingers!

Konad Fail

I took the Pintos N' Cheese thing way too far. (American Apparel Pinto with Manila stamped on.)

UGH! It looks like ketchup and mustard in the process of being mixed together.
I had to wear this during my whole shift, it was miserable.

One of my coworkers asked me what was the matter and I showed him my nails. He goes "Eww." 
All I could do was laugh!

I'm going to show you guys the good, the bad, and the fugly on this blog so be prepared!

Today I gave myself a break and did a glitterbomb of a manicure so they look much better.

American Apparel Hunter (with a dash of Konad)

This green is soooo nice! It's just like the forest green Crayola crayon. Application was smooth as usual, and I actually did a decent job with the stamp! Woot!

The stamp is harder to see in real life because the polish is so dark. It's the awesome leaf design, I'll definitely use it again with my light green polish. Maybe Hunter for the base and the light green for the veins?

I am still not ready to shell out six bucks for a "special konad polish" when Claire's and Wet 'n Wild's black does the job. (Plus WNW is 99 cents at the grocery store.) (Icing Chip Resistant Base/Top Coat, Claire's "Black Hole")

That bottle cap is covered with blue polish from a marbling escapade. I had polish all over my legs as well. But it looked great, which is the whole point!

While I do love this color, it's a bit darker in real life and I feel like it would look much nicer if I were formally dressed. Is that weird considering it's American Apparel?

Essie St. Lucia Lilac

The last time I went on a massive nail polish binge, I figured I should grab at least one Essie to see whether it was worth the hype. IT WAS.

This is St. Lucia Lilac, soooooo pretty and pastel! And it doesn't make me feel ridiculously girly in the process, which is a plus.

I am attempting to get my konading skills up to snuff. These were crooked but my coworker still squealed when she saw them and asked me to do her nails one day :) 
My dad told me to pretend like I meant to do them like that :(

I didn't know how the brush was going work, it is thinner than others. All went well for me though, I think I only did two coats this time around. And the formula was perfection.
