The Royal Treatment.

Good Morning Lovelies!

Before I show you today's mani, I just wanted to make sure everyone knows to go over to Black Nail Polish and Lip Gloss and Vote for your Favorite Non-Mani Mani!  Yours Truly entered, but I wont beg for Votes, LOL, Just that you go vote for your favorite!  Click HERE to go straight to the entries!


Now, on to today's mani!

I don't think I have told you all, but my Momma calls me Princess!  It's been my nickname since I was tiny!  I got it because I would never leave my feet where they were supposed to go in the stroller.  I HAD to prop them up on the "lap" bar, for lack of a better word.  So yeah, Princess!  

Now, of course, when I saw there was a Konad plate with a crown, I just HAD to get it.  Oddly though, I hadn't gotten around to using it yet.  As soon as I saw the design, I knew how I wanted to use it.  Sadly when I did this this past weekend, I LOVED the concept, but hated the color I picked out once it was on the nail!  But, I'll show ya anyway!

I started out with 1 coat of Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Whirlwind White. 
Then I applied hole reinforcements that you use on notebook paper, halfway over the cuticle edge. 
I then applied 2 coats of China Glaze "Rich & Famous" and peeled off the reinforcements. 
Next I applied 2 coats of China Glaze "glacier" to the white moon area, and 2 coats of Sinful Colors "Pink 4 Ever" to the pink area.
I used Special Polish in Black and M40, and using the smaller end of the stamper, lined up, as best as possible, the crown so it rested above the moon.

"Rich & Famous" is very deceiving.  It looks way lighter in the bottle.
I woulda LOVED this if the pink was either Magenta, or Pastel,
but that slightly coral color does nothing for me. 
Oh well, I'll try it again, I have another idea now too!

Well, my wonderful readers, that's it for today!

I hope you have a fabulous day!

Oh, great use of the crown! I love how the curve of the Konad design matches the half moon :) And pink is so appropriate! Fit for a Princess!

You must be kidding about not liking this -- it's fabulous! So you're a powerlifter and a princess, too? Now I've seen it all! LOL!

jo.frougal said...

BTW, I voted for you because I really liked your entries more. They were complicated, more dimensional, plus the materials were really far out!
