Matte-fied Monday with Avon Mirror Shine

Hello all & Happy Monday to you!  I know everyone hates Mondays & I do too so I try to think of Monday as a person, you know the underdog that is very nice but no one likes & it's for a reason that is out of the underdog's control?  So I try to give Mondays a break.  Sorry for going so off-topic - back to the nails!

Today for you I have Avon Mirror Shine in dark purple (cannot remember the name but will update w/it later) & I stamped using Avon Mirror Shine in silver (will also update this later w/the name) & I used Konad image plate m78.  There's two awesome things about these Avon chrome polishes:  they are 1-coaters & they stamp.  I've learned that usually if it's a 1-coater then it will stamp, I haven't found one yet that won't!

So here it is in it's shiny chromaticness (and I think I just made up a word!):
And here it is mattefied:
It's kind of hard to tell but both of these pictures were taken in the same amount of sunlight - indirect through my kitchen windows.

Which way do you like better?

Disco Leopard: Milani HD & Konad m57

Hello all - it's me again!  Today's mani I have for you is "down with the funk".  I used Milani's HD holographic polish in HD for the base color & Sally Hansen chrome nail makeup Carnelian Chrome for the stamping & the design comes from Konad plate m57.  The holo-ness in the Milani shows up really great in this pic (the sun was out for about 10 seconds) but not as much as I was hoping IRL.  Oh well, I guess I'm going to have to break down & buy some of the Nfu Oh holo's! 



I was definitely feeling the "jive" when I did this. lol
Have a great day readers!

Color Club De-Luxe-Cious & Konad m65

Hello again!  Today I have for you Color Club's De-Luxe-Cious and Konad stamping from plate m65 in the Konad Special polish in black.  I had some application difficulties with De-Luxe-Cious but once I tweaked my application process a few times, I finally mastered it.  It would seem to dry on the brush before I could get it on my nail so I had a bit of cuticle drag. 

I believe this is 2 coats and then topped it off with the konad stamping and Seche Vite fast-drying top coat (which is my all-time fave).  I call this design dizzy nails.

Have a great day!
