A Japanese inspired konadicure
Written by Elisabeth on February 28, 2010 – 16:51 -It’s been nearly a year now since my three weeks long vacation in the wonderfully confusing and quite spectacular country of Japan. I simply love Japan and miss it so much. Although I realise that I probably wont be going back for several years, me with a baby on the way and all.
Apart from watching every travel and food show on tv from Japan I can express my longing through a Japanese inspired konadicure followed by a cup of green tea.

This is three coats of Essie Ballet Slippers with images from Konad plate S9, Konad special polish used for stamping. I’m especially pleased with the kimono clad girl as that’s my very first multicoloured print.

NOTD - OMG! I’m Indi-a mood for love
Written by Elisabeth on July 15, 2009 – 20:19 -
OPI’s Indi-a mood for love is supposedly a dead on dupe for the pink in MAC’s limited edition Hello Kitty collection. Arguably, Indi-a mood for love does not have Hello Kitty on it, but it has a great formula and if you really really want Kitty on the bottle you can always slap a kawaii sticker on there!
For the konadicure part of this I used China Glaze OMG! I think it was a nice effect even if it was a bit more subtle than I had imagined it to be inside my head. But people have complimented this manicure so I guess it shows off enough.
I’m also beginning to be happy with the shape of my nails. I think they need a bit more work before I’ll be completely satisfied, but I’m on my way. I haven’t had long nails for a few years so it takes some getting used to.
