Eeeeeek... Look what's just arrived

Cannot for the life of me, do any of the Konad or cheeky French designs. It's driving me CRAZY!! They have now been hidden away so clients can't ask for them.

It's so frustrating. Full designs too, some are so easy and others are just so darn hard :irked:

aww that's a shame Planky, the french designs can be tricky but luckily I don't have many clients ask for these, most want the full coverage ones and I do tend to guide them more towards these. For french what I find easier is actually not to use the french designs, instead I use one of the full coverage ones, stamp the tip of the nail and then with cotton wool wrapped around an orange stick (or a cotton bud) dipped in some remover I create a smile line.

Without reading through all 62 pages of this thread can anyone suggest what other brand of polishes work with the stamps other than the konad ones.
Thanks x

 

[Arty*Rox]

The ones that I know of are China Glaze Romantique and Khrome collection and BarryM foil effects polish.

Hi guys my clients are lovig nail art at the moment so thinking of getting the konad kit but how is it done with Shellac? Xxx

 

[Sharry]

Just started using it with shellac, wish I'd done it ages ago love it I just apply to the sticky layer of shellac then seal with my shellac top coat

 

[Kellyltaylor88]

So u have to use the konad paints under the top coat?

I finish service as normal, including top coat, then konad, then topcoat again! That way you can wipe it off if you make a mistake or place it in the wrong place xxx

I just got all the 2011/2012 bundle monster plates and they arrived today. Had a play and LOVE the halloween ones.. Only problem is I really have to learn how to top coat without smudging.. I've read all the stuff on here that says you basically have to float without touching it, but it seems that my OPI topcoat is smudging regardless.. Going to try again tonight when kids are in bed and topcoat with Gelish TIO! I

Super excited to play with them all though!

As you can see--my first attempt wasn't the greatest. LOL.

They look good . I use gelish tio over stamping, works great. I put a coat of tio, cure , wipe then stamp, tio. That way I can remove the image with non acetone remover and try again. I've notice that you use Gelish, too. Do you think Geilsh is more popular in North America than in the UK?

 

[ShannonU]

I just finished redoing them with TIO. Works SO much better! I was only using OPI top gloss because I was doing it quickly while my little one was napping and didn't want to pull all my stuff out. No smudging at all with the tio! Love these new stamps!
