Pink Wednesdays! "Oh hell no, I did not leave the South Side for this!"

It's Wednesday! Pink Wednesday, specifically. There are a group of fab nail polish bloggers who polish up in pink on Wednesdays - a la The Plastics from Mean Girls - and I'm super excited to join in for the first time this week! (Yes, I type - and talk - with a lot of exclamation points. Get used to it.)

For this week's Pink Wednesday, I really wanted to also try out my first konadicure. For those who don't know, Konad makes nail art that you can stamp onto your nails for funky designs. I drool when I see great konadicures on other bloggers, and really wanted to try one out. But, in case it was an epic fail, I needed to have a pale pink so the fail wouldn't be too obvious. So, I used OPI's Suzi & The Lifeguard as my base color with white Konad polish for the design.

Overall, I'm displeased with the polish, but for my first Konad, I can't hate on it too much. The polish went on very streaky, and even after 3 coats wasn't perfectly smoothed out and there is still VNL (visible nail line). I expected better, OPI! The nail design was easy-peasy to apply, I'm just not a floral kind of person, and the plate that came with the kit only had floral patterns. So I will be heading over to amazon pronto to buy some new plates.

I'm not feeling this konadicure at all, so am counting down the hours until I can peace out of work and go home to change my nail polish! I normally try to stay away from the blues and greens and funky colors during the work week - keeping it conservative and all - but I've picked up some great colors in the past few days and really want to try them out!
