MAC Dry Martini


Dry Martini is definitely one of those polarizing colors - people either love it or hate it. Personally I love it, and it works with my skintone. Curiously, I've seen photos where it looks very brown, but on me it is always olive green. It took 3 coats for even coverage, but the pigmentation is good - just a little uneven in the way MAC polishes occasionally are (I love them personally, but they can be picky.)

Of course, on the 2nd day I added a Konad.


This is plate M65 with China Glaze FYI as the stamp. I have the entire OMG collection - they are so great, both on their own and as konad stamps. I love holos though, and have way too many in my collection! Anyway, this is a gold holo that is noticeably gold on the nail. I like how this pattern is very 70s - it goes with the olive polish very well!

I'm thinking of doing a series of posts on polishes that work with the Konad, as I know many people have questions about that, and I have been experimenting with many different ones. So look for that soon, along with more glitters (I have been in a glitter mode lately!)

MAC Beyond Jealous


2 coats, indirect sun

I was worried about the "almost black" quality of this one, but luckily it looks teal to me in most light. I like it better than Dark Room (which I don't own) and OPI Here Today, Aragon tomorrow. Application was great, but I have always loved MAC polishes. I like the colors, and the cute bottle and rubber cap appeal to me. I don't care that they are small, because I never use up polishes anyway!

After a day, I tried the Konad over top.


I used MAC Mint Julep, an ancient minty foil, for the stamping polish. I don't care much for this image - it's too girlie for me, I like thinks a little more funky. Even so, the transfer was great, and my husband liked this one!

I've been playing with different polishes on the konad. I'm probably getting more of the special polishes, but I'm pleased that I have plenty of metallic and chrome polishes that stamp well. I'm loving this to embellish tired manicures!
