I was craving a funky manicure, but I didn’t have time to spend on freehand nail art. For times like these, nail stamping comes to the rescue like a caped, lacquered crusader. ๐
To create this Black & Blue Konadicure, I used Essie Lapis of Luxury, which I’ve been dying to try and the trippy full-nail pattern on Konad Image Plate m78.
As you can see, I was in quite a hurry, so the stamping is a bit fuzzy, but in real life (when your nails aren’t blown up to such a large size), the imperfections didn’t show as much.
There are tons of people who are so much better at nail stamping than I am, but the finished look was exactly what I was going for, flaws and all. ๐


There are a lot of things in this life that are high-maintenance, so I really appreciate things that are easy-going.
While looking through some old folders on my computer, I found a manicure I wore quite a while ago.
When I first heard of China Glaze Gaga For Green, thoughts of Lady Gaga dressed as a frog on a glittertastic lily pad came to mind.
China Glaze Aquadelic probably looks a bit familiar to you. When I first saw it, it reminded me immediately of China Glaze For Audrey. (More on that later in this post!)
Considering how much I gush about green nail polish on here, I bet that most of you don’t know that I used to be a huge purple fanatic!
