Zebra Gone Mangos + Konad-ing 101 Video Tutorial

Indoor Lighting
Base Color: E.L.F.- Mango Madness
Konad Plate: m57
Konad Color: Wet n' Wild Wild Shine- Black Creme
Top Coat: Sally Hansen Diamond Strength- Flawless

I was requested by Kristy (my mark. rep) to do a blog on how-to konad. I've been meaning to get it done but never got around to it until now. The best way to demonstrate this correctly is through video, so without further ado... here it goes..



E.L.F. has pretty good polishes for a very affordable price ($1). Some may be sheer as others go on a bit thicker but the advantage to that is that they dry almost in an instant. For this manicure, I applied 3 coats of Mango Madness. It is a very pretty peachy coral color. I'm going to continue sticking to Wet n' Wild's Wild Shine (Black Creme) for konad-ing. Very cheap, at $.99 each compared to the konad polish and works very well considering the polish needs to have a high viscosity level. I picked up a bunch of Wet n' Wild polishes last week at Rite Aid during their BOGO Free sale. I'll post up this haul soon.. look out for it..

NOTD: Plumy-Pink Hanky

I try being creative when naming my manicure creations and this mani reminds me of a purple handkerchief.. hence the name.. LOL

Base Color: E.L.F.- Plum
Konad Plate: m64
Konad Color: Sally Hansen Chrome- Pink Pearl Chrome
Top Coat: Sally Hansen Diamond Strength- Flawless
I have a bunch of E.L.F. polishes that I bought on a whim because they are only $1 each and there was a 50% off sale on the website. For the price they are pretty good. The color goes on great and comes out shiny. The only downside is that it begins to chip within 2-3 days. But ever since I've been using the SH Diamond Strength as a top coat these polishes last for a long time (1-1.5 weeks).

The SH Chrome Nail Makeups are incredible for konading. If you can get your hands on any of these polishes, do so quickly!! SH discontinued the collection a while ago and finding them is a bit difficult but you can still find some of them on Ebay..
