Ever since I found out about Konad, I thought it was the coolest and easiest thing ever!!! untill...
when I finally got the items...
First I bought the plates, scraper,stamp and the plate holder...
I thought using my own nail polish will do the job... but man... I have to say it was a painful trial and error!!!!! I finally gave in and bought their "Special" Polishes...
(Plate M3,M19,S9)
The stamper finally sucked up the nail polish BUT many times it would suck up HALF of the image!!! ITS SO FRUSTRATING!!!... Its not as easy as it looked in the infomercial inYoutube!!! boo =( anyways as you can see, some of the images still look crappy... I guess practice makes perfect right?
China Glaze: China Rouge and the White special Konad nail polish
Tip:
*Swabs will be your BFF while doing this, Also keep nail polish remover nearby to dip 'em.
*patience is a virtue =P

Auughh, I have tried and failed so many times with konad!! So it's just sitting in my drawer! I wish I knew how to do it better :(
Btw, I have your panda sculpted and baked! So all that's left is paint and glaze =) Sorry I'm taking so long >< What color cellphone strap do you want? (:
That looks so cool! Isn't it tricky doing your other hand?
You did a good job. :) Practice does help a lot.
It helps if you are right handed to paint that one first and then do the left. I don't know why but it helps.
Do you have the Konad top coat? That is the best and never go over the same spot twice with the top coat. It will make it smear and when you put it on put it on thick and don't touch the brush to the actual nail. You kind of hover over the nail to place the top coat and it won't smear.
:)
Here are some youtube videos and tutorials to help you out. I'll be following your blog to see how you are doing.
Here are some websites with tips on Konad:
