Since it’s Thanksgiving week, I figured our beloved Houndstooth pattern is something to be thankful for. Therefore, it will be the featured pendant for Giveaway Tuesday!
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 (December 1st) 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 December 2nd)
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. For example, if you don not win this time and have not won before, you can enter once a week.
- 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)
Good luck!

L’Oreal Star Magnet
Okay, so I’m cheating a bit here again! No matter what ‘nad designs I go out with, people (boys and girls) always comment on this when I wear it. They would get excited and ask me where I got it, then get bummed when they realize that they’re not available in the US (however, they do pop up on eBay every now and then).
I’m lucky enough to have friends in Europe to pick them up for me. This is the Silver color:
L’Oreal Star Magnets Silver
For those of you have have this, here is how I apply (I’m using my handy hand chart here):
- Apply base coat (I used NailTek II Foundation) on fingers 1-10.
- Apply one coat of Star Magnet on fingers 1-10.
- Apply second coat of Star Magnet to finger 1, then put finger one on magnet holder (but make sure polish doesn’t touch the magnet) and hold for 10-20 seconds.
- Repeat step 3 for remaining fingers.
- Apply one coat of Top Coat (I used Poshe).
Hope this helps! Thanks for looking!

Misa Toxic Seduction Konad
Here’s another fun Konad that looks great matte. I think that chromes in general do very well matte. I was told that this is a “crazy anime zebra stripe” design. LOL

Here’s the matte top coat added. I seem to like this better:

OPI Holiday Glow Konad
OPI Holiday Glow is a beautiful color. It’s one of those colors that I can’t stop staring at because of the red (yes red) glitter that’s in it. I added something fall-ish for the Konad with a bronze color. I figured this is a good one to post since Thanksgiving is about a week away

Nubar Lavendar Konad
This isn’t exactly an Autumn mani, but it’s so hard to stay away from pastels!

Matte looked quite nice with this one… definitely more edgy:

MAC Dry Martini Konad
There’s a semi-silly story behind this ‘nad. All my nail polish that have been unblogged/untried are in a small section of my stash. It was a dark in the room so I grabbed one that looked like Rich, Dark, Delicious (brown with microshimmer) and grabbed this. It was kind of dark, and I did the entire mani not knowing that it was Dry Martini. I finally realized that it was the wrong color when I didn’t spot the shimmer in it. Go figure.

The theme was supposed to be mint chocolate chip, but this is what came out of it. Thanks for looking!
Oh yea and don’t forget to enter in this week’s pendant giveaway

MAC Tilt Fauxnad
This color has been in my nail polish collection for a long time (maybe approaching 10 years now?) I never wore it for some reason… until now. It’s a unique color, but I’m not sure whether I like it all that much. I added some fun Hawaiian styled fauxnad on it just to put a little pep in it

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.
