Essie & Konad

This is yesterday's mani using Essie French Affair, with a Konad stamp I bought a few years ago. I have not touched my two Konad plates for at least a year, but now I want to start using them again! I used a cheap white N.Y.C polish for the pattern. I think I would have better results using a nicer stamp polish. Any suggestions?

  1. ive long since used up my white konad polish that came with the set but what ive noticed is the more opaque = the better. it doesnt have to do with quality, IMO.

    i use color club art club polishes for stamping, theyre the "nail art" polishes in the skinny bottle with the skinny brush, i get them 3 for 5$ at Five Below. they work REALLY well and can be found at a lot of different places! be weary about mistaking them for the "art deco" polishes though, they tend to be a bit runnier and dont stamp as well!

  2. This is lovely, just the type of nail art i love to wear on a daily basis - uderstated, pretty but still different! you cant get konad over here in the UK so i have to make do with whatever i can get my grubby little hands on! i agree with cathryn though, the more opaque the better :)
    keep them coming my love :)

  3. I use the Sally Hansen Extreme Wear for Stamping, and I've heard their Nail Art Pens work really well too. I just got this plate & I'm excited for it!

  6. Thank you! I will have to look at the Color Club art club polishes and the Sally Hansen Extreme Wear. I own dozens of pink nail polish but this one is top three. I highly recommend it :)
