Fast, Easy, and Pretty!

I've always loved doing my nails. Ever since nail art was introduced in the industry, I picked up this passion as a hobby! Back then it was expensive to get nail art as I was just a student. So, I bought Japanese nail art books to learn how to do it.

However, at times I do get lazy and love to get pampered. So, I just head down to the nail parlour to get mani and pedi!

I didn't do much with my nails when I was in Melbourne. Because I had to work, I couldn't put any nail polish on since I was handling with food and I'd always have to keep my nails short. On the first day itself, reaching back to Malaysia, I went to get myself pampered! It felt good having clean and neat fingernails and toenails! It is always good to have a basic mani and pedi once in a while to clean all those dead cells!


Today, I would like to introduce to you a new toy! Something that will help you get fast, easy, and pretty nails! A product by Konad. I bought the whole set at RM76 only. 

In this set, it comes with the stencil, scrapper, and the stamper.


 First, paint your nails like how you want it to be.

 Then, pick a pattern that you like and paint it over with the colour that you want it to stand out in. 

 It will look something like this. I chose white in this case with the butterfly pattern.

Once you have painted it, quickly use the scrapper to scrap off the excess paint.

Don't leave it to long or else it will dry up.

Quickly use the stamper to press against the stencil to pick up the painted pattern. You can clean the stencil by using the nail polish remover.

It will look something like this. But I'm sure you can do better than mine. 

Then, quickly stamp it onto your nail however you want it. You may want to think of how you want your finished nail art to be before doing starting to stamp it. 

Tadaaaaa! Looks like a sticker or those professional artist drawing it for you. 

Just be careful when buying the set. Different sets, have different stencils at different prices. I bought this set with two mini nail polishes, one top coat, the stamper, stencil, and scrapper at RM68 and the base to put the stencil for RM8. So far, I've tried using other nail polish brands to use it as a stamper. But when I try to pick it up with the stamper, it doesn't stick. It was just stucked to the stencil for some reason. Maybe there is some special solution in the Konad's nail polish that enables it to stick to the stamper.

Anyhow, it's really simple to get fast, easy, and pretty nails like those in the nail parlours! You can save money and have fun too! Get this lovely toy at Pedal Works, Subang Parade and tell me how it works out for you!  (Not sure if Shins or SaSa is selling it yet.)







Do remember that the stencil base is sold separately!












Yours truly,
