Misa Candy Girl Konad
Here’s another duochrome with matte experiment that I figured it would be worth trying. I made that Konad subtle because I wanted to see the colors duochrome show.

I love the matte version of this! So chic!

MAC Dry Martini Konad
Um… don’t ask me why I bought this color… the girl at the MAC store thought I was crazy to find this a nice color. She’s right: but there’s something about this color that intrigues me. I really like it. I did the so-popular-and-famous Houndstooth on it:
MAC Dry Martini with Konad m63 and Konad Gold Black Pearl
I think that combo turned out pretty cool. Thanks for looking!

It’s hard to find nice duochromes. DrFrankenPolish makes them so well (BTW, those of you that follow her blog, she’s back)! I had a really tough time capturing this duochrome. It’s so cool though: shifts from blue to purple! I added a Funky French on it
DrFrankenPolish Last Shuttle To Pluto with Konad m74 and Zoya Rea
Sorry about the dark lighting… it was difficult to capture this lovely. Pictures don’t do justice!
Her frankening talent never ceases to amaze me!
By the way, Zoya Rea works with ‘nad! 
Thanks for looking!

Halloween Non-Nads
Here is my super weak attempt of nail art with a free hand. This shows that someone as not artistic as me can ‘nad! Anyway, here’s a scary pumpkin that I attempted:
China Glaze Fortune Teller and China Glaze Dreamsicle
I know… that was bad. Maybe it’s better off with white glitter:
China Glaze Cloud 9 over China Glaze White on White and Milani Black Magic
I think I’ll stick with ‘nadding. Thanks for looking!

China Glaze Fortune Teller Konad
Another classic Halloween color this year is China Glaze Fortune Teller. I added a contrasting blue chrome Coraline Scottie funky french with it. It didn’t turn out so great

It sounds like you guys really liked the Konad pendant that I showed you last week. I’m so glad because I think that this is a good way for my creative juices to flow outside of my 10 fingernails and is a way for me to thank you all for reading! This is the first Giveaway Tuesday so if things don’t work out, we’ll tweak it and make it better for the next giveaway (November 10th).
How is how it works:
- E-mail your name and let me know that you’re interested in the Giveaway Tuesday to SSSKontestsGiveaways@gmail.com
- Entries are open from now until the following Monday (November 2) at 11:59pm: each person will be assigned a number to be randomly chosen the day after
- A winner will be randomly chosen (using random.org) and will be announced some time the next day (on Tuesday November 3)
Here are the rules (kept it simple here):
- Entries will be accepted through the following Monday (at 11:59pm). All entries after that (based on the timestamp of the e-mail) will not count!
- One entry per household, and each household can only win once so everyone can have a chance.
- Open to US and International readers
- If you’re a winner, you must e-mail me with your address within 48 hours or else a new winner will be chosen
- Winner will be announced the Tuesday (one week after the giveaway post)
This week, the daisy pendant (inspired by plate m41) will be the giveaway item (chain not included):
Good luck!

Here’s another one from Milani’s Halloween Collection. I’m loving this collection more and more because it’s back, but you can still see the purple in it. This one is particularly nice matted!
