The Konad Blog

Hey everyone, well, it has been a great start to the bank holiday weekend, but will it last? Who knows! Continusing our new products feature, we want to show you another new image plate: M77.

If it’s bling that your nails are craving, then the M77 plate could be exactly what you are looking for, with strings of jewels, together with leavers, bows and flowers, the plate offers eight designs.

This plate has been proving quite popular across the world of Blogging, with several creating very different, but all equally beautiful designs that we thought would help inspire you to create some of your own for your nails.

Blogger Nailphile, has used the plate to create a USA-inspired design, using one of the string designs (top left), in Konad blue and white. The design is stamped on top of a light blue base, such as K24 Beach Pearl. If you look at Nailphile’s design, you will notice that it looks like she has not used the entire design, but only the two strings. However, the dots in the middle of the strings, have been partially (and perfectly) replaced by rhinestones: one in red, one in white and one in blue, for each colour of the American flag.

For a completely different, and more dainty look, we found a gorgeous coral-coloured design by Polish and Powder. On top of your coral base coat, stamp the intricate floral design (bottom right), and stamp it onto your nail as close across the cuticle area, as you can manage, using Konad’s pastel green special polish, for “a very sweet design, [that is] delicate and spring-like.” Personally, we adore this look, and will definitely be trying it ourselves.

In contrast to Polish and Powder’s spring-like look, Sasse’s ‘Nad Stampede, gives us a frost autumnal look, using the leaves from the image plate (top right). Starting with a shimmering white base coat, such as Konad’s R19 Shining White, stamp two leaves onto each nail, using gold and silver special polish. If you want something more icy and Christmassy, you might want to have both leaves stamped on using silver, whilst using gold and golden brown, or green would make for a lovely autumn design.

All of these designs look incredible, so why not give it a try and see how incredible they’ll look on your nails too.
