French Pearls

Hi guys!  So the kids are back to school tomorrow and Dylan has his first afternoon also.  He is too little and has only just turned 4 I hope he will be ok.

So I wanted to have a change from colourful nails.  I thought I haven't just done a french manicure for ages but I need to bling it up a little come on, just plain nails look great for a day but are totally uninspiring (boring).

When I was storing my XL Plate L I came across this plate that I have been dying to try out but sadly I had forgotton about.  I aim to try all these images at some point they are just absolutely gorgeous.



I got this plate from Amazon Cheeky Beauty
You can also purchase from Magno Nails

1.   I used Opi Nail Envy based coat.
2.   Sally Henson French Manicure Sheerly Opal 3017
3.   Konad Special Polish White
4.   Stamp XL C
5.   Add pearls (optional)

So these are my nails! Unfortunately they are not perfect but I know my mistake was being in a rush and not letting my nails completely set.  It was nothing to do with the stamp I assure you the image itself was crisp and perfect on paper.  I hope you like my nails and please share with me your attempts at using this plate I would love to see.

A big thank you to my hubbie for taking the pictures for me with his fabulous camera.  Much superior to my Iphone images I must say!  Thank you baby x

Ok, bye for now!

I XL Plate

Hi just a quick picture of my I XL Plate that came for me yesterday.  Here it is:

Not sure why this came on its own but I guess sometimes it happens that way.  Will post pictures of my other plates as and when they come in.  I purchased this from Amazon UK.

Bye for now!

Nail Plate Collection

This is my nail plate collection.  I started to collect these about a year ago when I first discovered Konad and I have been hooked ever since.  I have a large collection but it is not quite as big as some others I've discovered, but this is mine and I am very pleased with what I have.  They have not been used to their full potential yet and that is what I hope to pursue during my time on this blog.

I store my plates in an A4 file.  I got some trading card plastic wallets from Amazon and the XL plates I store in individual plastic wallets within that folder.  The folder stays flat on a desk so I don't have any problems with scratching.

I got the majority of my Konad from  www.wowsocool.com   but I have also purchased from Konad uk, Ebay and Amazon UK.  The Bundle Monster, XL plates and the Mega plate are all from Amazon UK

The Konad plate collection is nearly complete, yay!! I have just ordered the missing ones and the latest edition plates up to M88.  I probably will get the complete S series but I am not in a rush for those as S6 was the only one I really fancied.

I got the Bundle Monster Series 1 & 2 only in April so haven't really tried these out yet.  I got the XL plates and Mega Image Plate for my birthday in April so haven't had chance to try these out fully either.  I got these from Cheeky Beauty on Amazon and they have now made available the other XL plates in the series so have just placed an order for them also up to K.  

Also managed to get the Cheeky plates which I have been trying to get for awhile now but they have only just been made available on the UK Amazon with the release of their next series out soon.

The mega Image Plate I believe is the collection of the A series plates A1-20.  There are some missing and others that I am not sure where they have come from but quite excited to try these out.

I will probably get the new Bundle Monster and Cheeky plates but apart from that not sure if I will purchase any more plates this year.  I have so many that I haven't tried yet so I need to enjoy those before I purchase any more.  But saying that I like to collect things and I am sure there will be something that catches my eye.  There are lots of other plates that I would like but I am happy to take my time in getting those for now anyway.

I will post pictures of the new plates as and when they come in.  I would love to hear about your nail plate collection and stories.  Ok that's it from me, bye for now!
