Becky came over a few nights ago and wanted me to do her nails. She liked the
MULTI-COLORED KONAD that I did before quite a lot, so we decided to do a similar design on her nails!

Indoors, artificial light, no flash |
For these nails I started out with two coats of
China Glaze Midnight Mission, which is a very gorgeous shimmery dark blue with silver microglitter. Application was really great, dry time was very speedy. Overall a fabulous polish! This is such a pretty blue, I can't believe I haven't gotten around to wearing it myself! Soon, Midnight Mission... soon. :)

After applying Midnight Mission, I used Konad
plate m54 to create the multi-colored rose design on the nail. For the majority of the design, I used
Nicole by OPI Positive Energy, which is a fabulous silver for stamping. For the rosebud, I used
Sally Hansen Lilac Chrome, which is a very old metallic pink that I have had for many, many years. I had read elsewhere that the SH Chromes work well for stamping and I am pleased to report that they do indeed! I topped it all off with a coat of Seche Vite and was finished!
I was really pleased with this manicure. For the most part, I was able to get the design to transfer much more smoothly than the previous multi-color (although you can see I had a bit of problem on the middle finger with the pink rose). The blue is such a pretty color, I only wish I could give you some daylight pictures to show how gorgeous it was! But seeing as how it was 10 pm when we did this, no daylight. The late time is also why the final product is a bit on the messy side, since Becky had to get home there was not much time for cleanup. Anyway, Becky loved it and I did too, so overall I declare this a konadicure success!
On an unrelated note, I have to share this photo with you. I walked downstairs yesterday while holding my phone, and found my babies curled up on the futon having just woken up from a nap. They looked so perfect I had to snap several pictures. Apparently Leo does not see the phone as a camera (yet) so he is not quite as freaked out by it - good to know for the future! Here is one of the many amazing photos I snapped.

Aside from the tan pillow, I think this picture looks like a photoshoot - I may have to edit the pillow out at some point, but for now this is the raw image (cropped). Aren't they precious? Haha, I hope you all meant it when you said in the giveaway survey that you wanted more kitty pictures! :)
Speaking of which... make sure you
