True Love Toughens Up

As usual, I added a few bits and bobs to my existing mani by stamping with BM222 which looks a little like barb wire, and used Konad Special polish in Silver.
The reason the stamping is quite subtle is because I had trouble with the Konad Silver, I expected it to be much more opaque and thick than it is! Anyone else had trouble with Konad Silver?



I also added a coat of CND Effects Violet Shimmer. These effects polishes really transform a colour. This mani went from a purple maroon fusion to an electric purple shimmer in a heartbeat!

    Nice manicure, love the subtle stamping... However it's a familiar problem, stamping with the Konad Gold and silver polishes. They are not opaque enough to stamp with...

    I use Stargazer Chrome 232 (silver) to stamp with, and that works great. And I use China Glaze 2030 (gold) which works also very good...

    @ KimsKie - Thanks for that. I don't own 2030 but I have Stargazer 232. I'm going to try and stamp with that :-)

    I love this! So pretty. The CND was a nice touch.
