For today's Nails of the Day, I broke out a new-to-me Konad plate from my recent WSC order, plate M54. It's a cool plate with a whole bunch of different floral patterns, so rather than go my usual route of using one patterns, I made a garden manicure using five from that plate. Just to be extra fancy, I used more than one color for the stamps, using all Konad polishes.
The base color I used was Essie Lapis of Luxury. Not exactly a garden color, but it's a sky color, and I needed my greens to show up on the base. I took the pictures under artificial light at a lower light setting than I normally use to reduce glare. The colors appear a bit darker than they actually are as a result.

Getting the colors right took a few tries - the order in which I applied them to the plate mattered, and they still aren't quite perfect - you can see my butterfly has bright pink legs rather than black, but if that's as bad as it gets, I can live with it. After the effort involved in this one, I didn't want to risk smudging the stamps, so I used Konad top coat, then a coat of quick dry top coat.
That's my fancy-schmancy Konadicure, and I really like it.
That's also all I have for you this morning, so until next time, love and nail polish to you!
