Technicolor Doll & Electro Candy

Good morning, Dear Reader!

This morning's post isn't really about someone eating candy. Actually, I had a dilemma and chose this title over "Volt of Light Below the Belt," which made me laugh more, but I didn't have the nerve... It's about a Konadicure, of course!

I started with Color Club Volt of Light from the Electro Candy Collection, only this time I took a good tip from Michelle at A Stroke of Color, who's The Queen of Neons. She told me to put white under it to make it more vivid and require less coats, so I tried it and she was right. The white I used was Essie Below the Belt. This is two coats of each.

I then added some of Art Club's Technicolor Doll colors to it with Konad, using Electric Universe with plate M59 and Techicolor Doll with M62.

My camera didn't quite catch the neon-ness of it - I'm blindingly, retina-searingly neon! I like it.

That's all for now, Dear Reader. Until next time, love and nail polish to you!

Art Club Techni Color Doll

Good morning, Dear Reader!

I'd planned more Zoyas for you today, then Art Club's Techni Color Doll nail art kit showed up, and I was a goner. Check it out!





It's bright nail art polishes, decals, and sprinkles! This in conjunction with new Konad plates meant today was a day for nail art. I started with a base of Color Club Electro Candy (which I'm thinking I should get a backup of!), then stamped it using Konad plate M73, a floral pattern with Art Club Paisley Paradise (purple) and a heart tip pattern with Art Club Electric Universe (blue). I finished it off with a rhinestone heart decal on my ring finger. OTT? Yes...

It's way over the top, and makes me very happy! The potential this kit holds is simply unbounded. Just wait until I get a handle on how to use the sprinkles!

To Konad with the Art Club Nail Art Polish, I used the long thin brush to place a line of nail polish on one side of the pattern, then used the plastic scraper to spread it over the pattern as I scraped it. Then I just picked up the pattern with the stamper as usual. It worked like a charm. I topped it with a coat of Diamont, then applied the decal and did one more coat of Diamont to seal the decal. Voila!

That's the tale of the Art Club Techni Color Doll kit and my over the top Konadicure. Until tomorrow, Dear Reader, love and nail polish to you!
