Konad: Nail stamping ( interested in tutorials?)

Hi!!! I'm back with my nail obsession. Sorry about the little hiatus, got my pay, was busy shopping. Shopping is evil. Below was what i bought about a week ago at the Konad store at Far East Plaza. The haul was a total of about $41. The foot file alone is $11 but it's damn solid. The one i got from Daiso a month ago...i shall review on that another day.

1. Konad Footfile: Honestly, when i meant solid earlier, i meant it looks really solid, I have yet to rub it against the dead on my feet. My feet are hardened like stale bread from heels that i wear to work. Have i mentioned that i'm about 1.57m tall, although some days i feel 1.58m. :)

2. Basically the entire konad stamping set. This includes(in anti-clockwise):
                                                       a.The Double side stamp set
                                                       b.Long stencil holder (they have this in another shape)
                                                       c. Stencil number....i will update when i get home
                                                       d. Konad mini paint in Black
                                                       e. Konad mini paint in Silver

Nail Art


One lesson i learnt is: always buy the real thing. Before heading to the Konad store, i bought the "inspired" version of it from a push cart. The design was a lot prettier with a fairy being the reason i bought the stencil. Not only did it not work at all, the stamp that came along with it was tiny and the stencil did not stick. Konad has the same type of stamp but the rubber feels different. I love everything about a, b, c, d and e. Without the stencil holder the stencil might not stay and your design might not stick on the stamp as well. The double sided stamp works amazing for me because my little finger is tiny. If you use the bigger side of the stamp, the remainder of the design might stick on to your skin until your next good hand scrub. Apart from that, a major plus point is that everything's in pink!!! 

Here is the outcome:

 
I love zebra prints and with this being my first attempt. I say it's not bad at all. "Nail art" DIY-ed. I used Black polish from The Face Shop as base and Konad's mini paint in white that my sister bought some time ago.
