KOTD: China Glaze Emerald Fitzgerald with Konad White

This is post #2 in my China Glaze Vintage Vixen Konad Challenge.  I admit, this one is a little odd.  However, I find it completely mesmerizing.  Granted, the finished design was nowhere near what I had initially planned.  I wanted to have mermaid nails, complete with my fauxnad mermaid stamp, but that just didn't turn out.  So I took what I had, ran with it, and created this.  This look has one coat of ChG Emerald Fitzgerald as a base.  I then applied a mix of Zoya Charla and Zoya Ivanka using a detail brush, so my nails had a very underwater look.  The stamp is 3 layers of the fishnet pattern from plate m57.  The first 2 coats are Konad White and the 3rd coat is ChG Emerald Fitzgerald. 

I will have other konad posts using this collection in the near future.

KOTD: ChG Jitterbug with Pink and Black Leopard

Yesterday, I realized it's been months since I've done a konad, so I decided to give myself a bit of a challenge, use all the colors in the new ChG Vintage Vixen collection in konad designs, either as the base or as the stamper.  Here's the first one:


This is ChG Jitterbug as a base with Migi black as the leopard stamp from plate m57 and I used to pink striper to accent the leopard design.  I'm not too happy with the pink spots, but this is my first time doing this type of design, so I was a bit unsure of how to go about it.  I definitely plan on practicing, because I love the effect in other pics I've seen.
