n3o - I'm thinking of getting a konad plate from e-bay. Can I just buy the plate or does it need another part to work?

Oooooh you should hun!! It's so much fun :)
You need to get the scraper and stamp pad as well as the plates, so make sure you buy a starter kit with the scraper and stamp pad and 1 or a few different plates. Then once you have the basics, you can buy as many separate plates as you like :)

Some people say the "special" nail polish that comes with the kits is better than regular nail polish for making the stencil prints, but I just use regular nail polish and it's fine.

Let me know if you try it!! :)
 
Fantastic repost fizzle!! I like the matte tips the best I think, I like how it's really subtle by using a smiliar shade. I'm definitely going to try that the next time I paint my nails. :)

I think it's the same shade, just a clear coat to make it glossy.

Yep, I tried it for the first time last night and it looks cool but it didn't work out as polished (pardon the pun ;)) as I'd hoped it would. I'll post a pic or two later.


PI very restrained of you hun! Good work :)

firefighter- everytime I pick up a bottle of "argan oil", the first ingredient is always "dimethicone". GRRRRR! I hate false advertising! Sounds liek the iron is awesome though.

Bummer! I haven't even used the actual oil yet! I knew it sounded kinda hokey! 8)
 
Black Shatter is STILL not available at my local store. I keep calling each week and they assure me it's on the next shipment, but it never is. Has anyone else gotten their hands on a bottle?

Also, my Zoya order is still in stage 1 - open order. I keep reading on here and FB about ladies receiving their orders and Zoya's super fast shipping, and mine hasn't even been picked from the warehouse yet! I know they processed something like 300,000 orders, so I need to be patient but I want that polish!

/end rant :!
 
My nails are being neglected.
Tonight this stops.
They all broke off reallllly short and I painted them anyway, which was fine but then the paint has chipped off (and I picked it off) and now they're bending back and giving me problems.
The Sally Hanson's Complete Manicure nail polish has strengthener in it and it helps SOOOO much for me.
 
I tried the winged liner look this morning but I didn't really like it. I think next time I need to draw the wings out more and try a shadow that a tad darker. A dark purple liner would look really nice in my opinion.
 
WOw you guys have been busy!

Great how to QueenBee, personally what do you think that advantages of a a wet powder like liner in a pot and a brush and liquid eyeliner and a think nail polish like brush.

This is what I'm using:

But in black of course.

Those nails are outstanding poopie!


I've been thinking I need a new straightener but they cost so much and my last one was...free... and thinkin I should cut my hair shorter...idk

I'm still trying to find a look (well find myself really). This is what I wore out tonight (close up so you can see the eyeshadow) but I don't really like it.

How short were you thinking of cutting your hair pillthrill?

What makes you think that you want to go shorter? I like the current length of your hair...mine is a similar length and cut and it's probably my favorite length I've ever had it. I can still put it back when I want to but it's short enough to have a lot of body to it. When my hair gets long it just loses all of it's oomph.

Here's my hair currently

what is a hairdryer?

The nail tech fixed the four chipped nails and touched up the rest.
Minor inconvenience. I will return in 2 weeks for another Shellac mani.

I have been sick all week but housework is calling me!
My husband said go to bed and I asked him if he was going to hire a wife for me.
 
PT, I have only played around with those types of liners, and I have never found a consistency that I like. I haven't used the Hard Candy brand specifically, but I generally find that the pigment isn't what I'm looking for, it turns out kind of watery I guess.

The brush looks fine though, you definitely want something really thin just like that.

I love the hair and bangs and shade! <3

Thank you so much pretty lady!!

I currently LOVE my hair...and I've tried all different colors and hair styles. I never thought I would be able to have bangs and they haven't been an issue at all to style, I am also enjoying the simplicity of my hair color, no more trips to the salon to spend $150 just to have to go back in 8 weeks *eeek!!* I'm going to keep this look for awhile.
 
QB- Sometimes they can be a little watery, but one you add a shadow and go back over it, its really dark and sticks well. OMG I can hardly get it off half the time with 2 different make up removers.

PP- Here is a pic of what it looks like when I don't blow dry and straighten it and I'm not sure I like that longer 2nd layer closer to my neck...I think I want to go more of a bob but perhaps I should cut it upwards...like the back is...which I have no pics of the back of my head. lol And actually it is too short to pull back in a ponytail, I can make little pig tails but whats the point, just cut it shorter?? idk yet

You could try going for a bob look :) That could be pretty cute on you actually. I had kept an "a line bob" for a couple years, basically the front was at my chin and then the back was really short and off the back of my neck. I never left my hair curly when my hair was that short, I always straightened it....which got me to the point where I hated doing it so I just let it grow out. My hair, when that short, was of course way too short to put back at all.
