Finally I did a mani that I had in my mind for quite some time now. Ladybugs … :wub:
N.Y.C. – Big Apple Red Creme – 2 coats
Chez-Delaney H22
Konad Special polish – black
Essence – High Shine Topcoat
Oh well, the idea was great and so was the execution. At least until I put on a coat of top coat, which made a mess. I hate when that happens. :angry: And that always happens with Konad Special polishes. I think it’s time, to get that Konad top coat. Does it really help? Do you have any experience with it?
And what am I supose to do with my ladybugs? Aaaaaaaaaaaangry! :angry:
Danes sem naredila manikuro, ki sem jo imela že dolgo časa v glavi. Popolnoma netipično za predbožični čas. Pikapolonice … :wub:
N.Y.C. – Big Apple Red Creme – 2 plasti
Chez-Delaney H22
Konad poseben lak – črn
Essence – High Shine Topcoat
Hja, ideja je bila dobra, izvedba prav tako, dokler nisem nanesla nadlaka. Grrrrrrrrrrr … Sovražim, ko se mi to zgodi. Ko se mi spaca vzorec. In najbolj problematični so ravno Konad posebni laki. :angry: Očitno je skrajni čas, da si naročim Konad nadlak. Ima morda katera izmed vas že kaj izkušenj z njim?
In kaj naj zdaj naredim s pikapolonicami? Grrrrrrr …
i have konad top coat and i havent use it.. LOL :haha: hmmm… i’ll try to use it and let u know if it will lessen the smudging of the design… im using seche and i like it….i think correct brush stroke will really lessen the smudging of the SP… merry xmas Maja!!! :wub:
Thank you, thriszha! Please, let me know, how it works with Konad special polishes. ;)
I use L.A. Colors Nail Art Deco Lacquers quite often for stamping in lieu of Konad special polishes. Best part is that I can find them at a local dollar store and swap meet for a dollar a bottle as well! You can go to their site and local retail locations will be mailed to you if you provide necessary data. :biggrin:

Thank you for your comment! I’ll definitely check them out!
Love those adorable ladybugs. I would use the polish that is made to go with the kit. I think you would get the best results.
I don’t konad that much but my experience is that you shouldn’t brush that much over the konadicure when you put you top coat over it. I think one, max. 2 brushstrokes over the special polish. That way it doesn’t bleed that much
You are right, but that doesn’t work for me when I use regular top coats. So… Konad top coat… Thank you for your comment!
The ladybugs are cute! I’m not a huge fan of the special polishes either. I’ve let them dry fr 10-15 minutes and they still smear when I add top coat. I’ve used Seche, Out The Door and Zoya Armor with it and same result each time. Grr.
The same with me. I waited for at least 10 minutes and you see what happened. Grrrrrrrrr! I guess, we both need Konad top coat. LOL
Ah what a shame it smudged! It’s a really cute look.
I have the konad top coat and I swear by it for going over the top of konad special polishes. It doesn’t smudge them at all.
Thank you! Konad top coat went straight to top of my wish list. The smudged prints drive me crazy! That’s why I rarely use Konad special polishes.
I use the Konad topcoat every time I stamp. It will pretty much stop smearing. It’s great for securing rhinestones too! I use either CND Air Dry or Diamont over top of that since the Konad topcoat doesn’t self-level.
Thank you for your advice! I always admire your konadicures and your nails. <3
