Easter NOTD inspired by Susies1955

I was inspired by the beautiful Susies1955 to do that mani. Hers was prettier than mine because I didn't own a pastel yellow one. I replaced it with an orange one from the Essie spring collection but the whole look works better with her take on it...

I am IMPOSSIBLE...If you read my blog from time to time, you know I have sometimes an allergy to some nail varnishes. It's really difficult to identify which ones as I change mani every other day...But did you think painting my nails with all the colors of the rainbow was a good idea to identify the thief....NOT REALLY ! I again swell but now that I recognize the first symptoms, I took the mani away the 1st day I wore it. It didn't prevent me from swelling but it's not as awful as before. I need to take a break from Mani (sobbing endlessly !) for a while and the try one color for a few days , stop painting for a few days and so on. This way, there is a good chance of finding the traitor !!!

Hope you have a grogeous week end !

I have tons of posts to write about hauls (yay to wharehouse sale !), meeting a fellow blogger by chance, Awards (I fell like a SUPERSTAR !) and give away

First Konad plates : pink and black nails

I received my package from OC Nail Art.com Yehaaaaaaaaaaaa ! The customer service is excellent and what a deal : 30 % off with the code SCRANGIE (thank you short and sweet nails !)

So I played with the m57 and here are my first Konad nails ;-)))
It is not perfect but I'll improve ...Everybody at work was impressed , they never heard of nails stamps, I am definitely a beauty advisor now hahaha.
I used the little lace band and I couldn't manage to make it even for every nails but I think it looked OK enough to wear !

Hope you like it

Essie Lilacism : Art of spring collection (2010)

Spring trend is all about pastel colors for the nails...I didn't own any pastel color to fit this trend so I couldn't resist when I find this little cute package from Essie with 4 tempting shades ! Did I read reviews on how sheer were the Essie nail polishes, did I read the warnings about how dreadful it was to apply ??? Like Amy would sing : No, NO, NO....
Oh MY, what a nightmare to apply ! It's streaky, it's to sheer. On the photo I wear 3 coats and I would probably have needed a 4th one ...Really ? Yes, really !
Nonetheless I ADORE this color, I 've been watching my nails all evening long smiling like crazy ....

SO let's get to the point, it's a pain to apply but who cares when the result is so AMAZING ?
