Psychedelic Leopard Konad Manicure

Yup, that's a snap bracelet. If you're a girl and you were a kid in the 80s/early 90s, you had ten thousand of these damn things. Now they're back and my 6-yr-old, whose style is oh-so-Eighties, loves them. Especially this one.

The credit for this konadicure idea goes to grayeyez and brazenspider of MakeupAlley. I think that grayeyez did it first, by the sound of this post, but either way, it's such a cool idea. They called it rainbow snow leopoard, and I like that. I used Color Club White for the base, then used OPI Black Onyx and Konad plate m57 for the leopard print. Then I used a dotting tool and China Glaze High Hopes and Grape Pop, Color Club Power Play and Explosive for the dots inside some of the spots. I topped it all off with Seche Vite, which melds the whole mess together and makes it glossy as can be.

Here's a video I did that will acquaint you with the Konad method of nail art.

Your konadicures recently have been making me want to start konading more frequently! I've been neglecting my konads. I went out to buy the M71 plate today and I used the flowers print on my nails immediately after I reached home! I wanted the plate with the clouds on it as well but they were sold out

ladeekim: Awesome! that's so cool that you can get the plates locally.
dulcedolci: i loved snap bracelets so much back in the day. My daughter is just as obsessed now, haha
Nihrida: wish I could take credit for this idea, but Grayeyez from MUA was the godmother of this one. isn't it amazing?

I don't remember seeing it on MUA. Still - it looks good and the process of making mani is just as important as the idea. =)

You are awesome! This leapord one is so creative. You have inspired me so much that I had to go buy Konad last night and try it. I bought plate M60 and did the paisley in silver over a deep red base. It's a little Christmas-y but pretty! I'm hooked.
