Final Day... Sad Day!!!

Welp... my 30% discount for Konad REUSABLE nail art at OC Nail Art is ending today. This was NOT Kathleen's doing, her store at OC Nail Art is phenomenal!!!! Her shipping is super quick and customer service ROCKS!!! Plus she ALWAYS appreciates the talent of her wonderful customers (check out my nails being featured HERE). Nope, this is Konad's doing. They have mandated that all authorized dealers discontinue ALL discounts effective immediately. So with today being the final day to use my wonderful, excellent and cool (I will miss you my friend) 30% discount, I thought I would share my MUST-HAVE Konad image plates. These are the plates that I absolutely adore for their versatility. Remember, until midnight tonight, 30% off using discount code 'MENTAL' at store.ocnailart.com. Don't forget the free shipping in the US for all orders over $20.

Konad Image Plate M3 - I love this one because it has smaller images and the plate can be used year round. It's also great for smaller (children) nails. I think this one was my very first plate and I STILL use it the most. Another option for the beginner is to purchase a starter set and the Konad "C" Kit has M3 and M2... that's 14 REUSABLE DESIGNS with special polish, stamper and scraper. Everything you need for around $27 (before discount)! Great deal!


Konad Image Plates M12-M13 - These are both holiday plates. The first has 7 Christmas images (not pictured) and the second has 7 Halloween images. I'm a FREAK for Halloween, and if you are too, then you'll probably want to add image plates M28 for the spider and skull and crossbones and M1 for the small spider....CREEPY!!! A WONDERFUL source for Halloween Konad nail art ideas is Konaddict. Again, each of the image plates contains 7 images per plate.

Konad Image Plate M56 - I LOVE french manicures and while Konad offers quite a few options for french manicure stamping (including a french manicure starter kit for around $36 before discount), this plate gives me flawless french manicures with a twist. You just have to check out the pic at the top to know what I'm talking about here. Those gorgeous black swirls are found on this plate! Be sure to click on all the pics to enlarge for greater detail.

Konad Image Plate M65 - Ok, last but not least is this WONDERFUL image plate. This plate has FULL Nail Coverage images to stamp. Because the images are bigger, there are only 5 images on plates like these. But THIS ONE is my absolute favorite. The images come out perfect... I haven't seen airbrushing come out better than these images. From psychedelic circles to geometric shapes to roses and beads... this plate is used A LOT!

Well, that's about it for my MUST-HAVES. I actually have 33 Konad image plates that get used sporadically, but the plates listed here get used for the majority of my "Konadicures". If I could only own these plates, I'd be a happy girl. I will be sure to keep everyone posted when and if the discount code goes back into effect in the future! Hopefully Konad will change their minds quickly!!! :)
***My friend Vanessa from Casual Lavish has a GREAT video tutorial on how to use Konad posted on her blog HERE. There are also some of her own nail art pics there too. She's AWESOME!!!

Past 7 Days....

Quick Tip and Treat!

So I was on my group message board at P eertrainer.com and someone made a recommendation that I thought was wonderful! So wonderful in fact that I spent the afternoon balancing my checkbook to see if I can afford it!!!! Apparently the Magic Bullet is quite the go-to gadget for trainers and athletes! Why? Isn't that just another piece of garbage that they are trying to push on those infomercials??? Well, that's what I thought, but I've gotta say that more than one person in the discussion said that this piece of garbage is invaluable in keeping them on track with their nutrition. Here's what I heard today about the Magic Bullet: It's got a really powerful motor It really is quick and easy to use (the infomercial didn't lie) The handy single servings make it quick and easy to whip up a power shake for a quick "treat"! If you drink more than one a day, you can make many different types of shakes without continually dirtying up an entire unit! NICE! A co...

You Can Thank Scandalous

Alright, this is a long story that I'll sum up right here: I'm giving away one of my bottles of Gun Metal Pink FLASH (also known as My Private Jet by OPI). That will leave me with only two bottles, so it's almost as important as giving one of you a kidney... if I had three kidneys. Ok... so.... one day I posted a blog about my all-time favorite nail polish My Private Jet , after seeing someone else's post of the same polish that didn't look anything near the polish I have. The one I saw was a holo and mine WAS NOT. Mine was an AWESOME gun metal pink! So I posted a question as to why my My Private Jet looked so different. Well, I got some VERY helpful responses from some VERY helpful bloggers informing me that there are MANY versions of this particular polish and that no one had yet heard of MY version. I even got a request from Scandalous over at Scandalously Polished to let her know if I find another one, and I did find another three, so I sent one to her. Now my ...
