Yesterday, I shared my thoughts with you on OPI I’m All Ears from the Vintage Minnie Mouse Collection. Although it was like, it wasn’t love.
So, what did I do? I Konaded the *beep* out of it. 😉 Here are Pink & Black Zebra Nails!
I turned to my tried-and-true full-nail Konad image plate m57. The zebra print never lets me down. Even when I’ve used it over a polish I didn’t care for, it turns it into a winning manicure for me that I enjoy wearing.
Haha, maybe it’s a cop-out because I’m sure you all have seen this zebra print a bazillion times. It’s nothing revolutionary now. But, it just goes to show you what a must-have the Konad m57 image plate is! 🙂 If you don’t already have it, get it!

Do you have a tried and true stamping image plate that turns an okay manicure into a manicure you love?
WOW! That just pops right off the screen! Lovely!
Hey karen!
Thanks! Haha, in person, it was quite eye-catching, too. I had to sometimes put effort into NOT looking at my nails, just so I wouldn’t be TOO vain. 😉
I really like this combo, it’s girly but the stamping contrasts enough to make it a good combo. Maybe I’ll try something like this if I ever decide to stop neglecting all my pinks!

Hey Another Cristina!
Thanks – glad you liked it. 🙂 Yeah, stamping over pinks makes them more wearable for me. Maybe you’ll get more mileage out of yours this way, too.
I haven’t used this stamp in forever! I think I’m going to have to dust it off. I love the base color.

Hey Cynthia!
Yes, it’s one of the best full-nail designs. Makes most manicures better. 😉
I love this!!! Sexy tiger nails, lol!

Hey MariJo!
Haha, can you hear that? It’s my manicure roaring! 😛
This makes me want to bust out my stamping plates again. I haven’t used them in ages! And really, how can you not like this tiger/zebra print? Super versatile! 😀

Hey Carmela!
YES! DO IT! DO ITTTT! I just love seeing Konadicures by you.
Okay… so I totally do what you do… when I love a polish I like wearing it in it’s full glory… but when it is a so-so shade on me I pull out the stamping plates 😉
And an animal print makes EVERYTHING BETTER! 😉
soooo, that being said, I love what you did here! Your stamping is so crisp and pretty!
I think YOU would love konad M70 for the paint-splatter look! I use that to disguise any so-so shade 😉 or to add character to a beloved shade 😀

Hey Marta!
High praise from The Stamping Queen! 🙂 *Content sigh* That means so much coming from you, especially!
Oh yes, the splatter look is something that I’ve always wanted to try. Don’t think I have that Konad plate. It’ll be in my next order! 🙂
