Konad M76

Please watch video for a tutorial on this nail design. Sorry if some scenes are cut off, however, all the images come straight from Konad Plate M76, also I included pictures of all five fingers of where the images are located to fix any confusion. Overall, I really like this design and I would wear more of it in the future. For this design I selected a shimmering dark purple polish (black polish will work fine) just because I missed the dark polish on my nails, however, you could select any color you want and this design will still looks good. Enjoy as always.

Pink Glitter nail (For Now)

Just a picture for now, some time later on I'll upload a tutorial on this design.

Konad M26 & M80 (Flower Design)

 This week I decided to do a simple flower design since I'll be going back to school, I figured I won't have as much "free time" to do any more designs. So sad :( but that's okay. I have the best summer break ever and looking back, I don't regret anything, however maybe next year I"ll have to find a summer job, the sad thing is that being a student, you don't get pay as much, and it suck. I'll be posting a few nail videos if I have time during the school year, and as always, enjoy.

 Here are some more pictures. This design is very girlie, however it is cute and simple to do.

Konad M26 Hibiscus flower design

Here's another quick and easy nail design. All three flowers I used are all on Konad plate M26. If you have Mash plate as an alternative, that will work as well. Sorry if videos seem kind of dark, I did this video late so there were no sunlights and I have a crappy light in my room. Sorry, my lamp is an eco friendly lamp and I'm trying to at least go Green. So enjoy.

Konad plate M21 and M25

Here's a fun summer design. Hope you all likes it, I got this idea from a picture I found online. I try to copy the exact details, but my nails are too short and I didn't have the right color. However, I tried and overall, I think it look pretty awesome too. Watch video for the tutorial. Enjoy.

Hello Kitty nail design

I just received this Hello Kitty nail plate today in the mail and I ordered it on Amazon.com. I'm so excited that I went straight into doing a design. I guranteen that there will be more designs with this plate. Overall, I love this plate. Give it a try if you can still find it on Amazon. I don't have a picture of the plate, but watch the video. Enjoy.

Mash Plate M-57 (Funky Zebra Design)

This is a beautiful, funky, and colorful nail design for the summer. It's pretty easy and I think anyone can do this design without a Konad or Mash nail plate. Try it out for the summer.

 For this design I used 4 Club Color polishes from the Poptastic collection, from Santee I used "Flower Pink", Kleancolor black for zebra prints, NYC clear top, and Mash M-57 zebra print. (Note: If you don't have this plate, you can always take a nail brush and a black polish and draw in zebra stripes.)

Chinatown L.A Part 1

I have so much fun. The weather was great. In the middle of June, the weather in L.A was 68 degrees with a dark cloudy sky, that is why some of the video photos above were kind of dark, even though L.A, California is suppose to be hot and sunny by June already. I shouldn't complained because the weather was great for the outdoor shopping and no sweating, smelling people, which I hate every summer when I go to L.A. I can't wait to go back next summer.

Chinatown L.A Part 2

 

I have to said, these nail polishes are not that bad. Good quality but I notice that the polish can be easily peel or chip if you do a lot of cleaning or typing. As for fast drying, some dry faster than others and some dry slower. Cautious, Santee and Kleancolor can have a stinky odor, so make sure you have good ventilation. So will I buy more of these polishes in the future, yes, of course. There are a lot of pros and cons, however I found that these polish had such a good finish that I will invest in them in the future. (Note: Never buy Neon Green from Santee, it is such an ugly green color.) I bought these polishes from Chinatown, Los Angeles from a super nice lady who called everyone "Honey," and she sold them for a dollar each or 6 for $5. So I got a bunch. Enjoy.

Design w/ Mash Plate

I got bored, so decided to do a nail design. Some images got smear because I did this like 3 in the morning, but I still like it. I been using Mash for a while now, and I love it. For me, Mash plates are easier to use than Bundle Monster and Mash plates are worth the price. I would have spend $150 if I purchase the same plates from Konad, so for me this is a super good bargain.

First Design w/ Mash Nail Plate

Here's my first design using Mash plate. I don't see any different with the design using Konad. For this nail design, I didn't use any Konad special polish at all. I used this other brand  of white and black polish I bought for $1.00 and it work just as well. Let me know if you want to know the polish brand I used, contact me on Youtube under azaindragon1 or email me at chan.cecila@yahoo.com or loveablenails@gmail.com.

I really don't see the different between Mash or Konad designs, except that Mash plates don't have the cardboard back cover. Here's my first design with Mash and I'll have more coming. If there's any designs or plates you want me to try out or do a review on, let me know.

More Coming Soon

Konad vs Mash nail plates (Part 2)

Here's part 2 comparing Konad and Mash. I'm comparing plate M63.

 More coming soon.

Konad vs Mash nail plates (Part 1)

Here's part 1 of comparing Konad and Mash nail plates. I'm comparing plate M60.

Mash Set

I Love It. I agree that Konad plates are still the best, but this set just blow my mind. With 25 plates, exact copy of Konad, the Mash plates work as well. I'm happy I bought this set. I purchased this set from Amazon for $17.99 plus shipping, it came out $24. As for shipping, I got my in 3 days because I live in California.

(Note1: I have 23 Mash plates because I gave 2 away to my cousin because it was her graduation, but if you buy your, you'll get 25 not 23.)

(Note 2: Check my review on comparing Konad and Mash on this blog, it's divided into two parts.)

Video: Konad and Bundle Monster Plates Storage Idea

Here is how I stored my Konad and Bundle Monster plates. I like to store my plates in the little mini wallet size album because they fit very well. Below is a video of how I keep my nail plates neat and organize in my mini Hello Kitty picture album. I don't know if these Hello Kitty (mini/wallet) albums still exist, but check online and any wallet albums or credit card holders work fine for storing nail plates.

See how easy it is to just flip to the plates you want. Easy, fast, and you have all your plates together and organize.

Girlie Nail Design

Hope you all like this nail design.

I got my new Bundle Monster plates and decided to give it a try.  So far they're alright, I still prefer Konad but to save money, Bundle Monster plates are not that bad. Just have to press harder and images are a little bit cloudy, but I could live with that. It doesn't have to be perfect, and anyway, no one really pays that close attention to the designs. :) Enjoy.

Spring Theme

This is my spring theme nail design. I love these three colors mixing together.  It kind of remind me of clear blue sky more than spring. This design is my favorite so far. Yeah, two thumbs up. ._.

My Vintage 3D Nail

To create this vintage nail design, I use Konad plate M57 and the 3D nail mold.

Floral Summer Fun Nails

 My second 3D nail design. I love this design for the spring/summer. The colors are so bright and alive that it just make the 3D pop out. Spring Break is over and tomorrow I'll be back in school, so probably won't be able to do as much nail designs :( But that's okay because I still have the weekends and I'll be back in the SUMMER with more and new ideas. See you all soon. Bye.             

3D Nails collection

 Yeah, they arrived! I bought this set from ebay, but because I haven't got permission from the seller to put her name on this blog, if you are interesting in purchasing this set, or want to request me doing a nail tutorial, feel free to contact me at loveablenails@gmail.com.
