Konad Nail Stamp Art: Essie in Tart Deco and OPI Shrek Polish in Funkey Donkey

Here are some Konad stuff that I haven't posted yet. This first one has Essie nail lacquer in Tart Deco as base, and Konad special polish in White using m32 image plate. Tart Deco is a pretty coral-peach cream, but for some reason I feel that it was too warm for my skintone. It is pretty though and would make a nice summer or spring mani. Also, the Konad images were supposed to be made using the White special polish, but it turned light yellow on my nails. It probably had a reaction with the dyes used for Tart Deco. Not my favorite nail polish color, but this would look great on somebody else.



This one used Funkey Donkey from the OPI Shrek Collection as base, konadified using special nail polish in White and m41 image plate. As I'd said in my OPI Shrek collection review, the staying power of Funkey Donkey is fantastic although I could do without the thickness of the formula. This polish stayed longer than many of my polishes, and I love the dark purple cream. It's not a very unique color though as you can see many dupes of this floating around, most especially China Glaze in Grape Pop. Nonetheless, I like the staying power so this is a keeper for me.
