So my lovely friend Brooke, aka SayAnythingBr00ke on YouTube, filled in for Fierce Friday last week while I was at IMATS. a few weeks ago she did an AWESOME Lisa Frank Inspired nail tutorial that I copied and LOVED, and for Fierce Friday she decided to do a nail look inspired by Fruit Stripes Gum, that gum I'm sure most of us ate as kids (with the rainbow zebra!)

This was love at first site! My friend Brooke (Sayanythingbr00ke on youtube) just posted this super awesome nail tutorial yesterday and I immediately HAAAAD to copy it. It's SOOOO cool but seriously so easy, it's ridiculous. All you need are a few fun bright colors, a Konad stamp and a black Konad Nail polish.
Here's how mine came out (basically the same, I used just about everything she used haha)
The Konad plate is M57. If you don't have Konad (which you totally should! availab...

I've been neglecting my nails too much lately. Ever since I broke them I haven't really been applying polish or anything, which is really kind of stupid considering I want them to grow again, and not wearing any polish or strengthener is just going to make them worse off!
I decided on Easter to wear cute sparkly nails, and to make it even more special I busted out my Konad stamps and put some cute bunnies and baby chicks on my nails :) I don't use Konad enough, it's so fun!!

Brooke a great how-to video for Konad, a great watch for anyone curious about Konad!! I learned a few things, she's been using it a lot longer than me.
After watching this I think I'll have better luck once I get my Special Polishes. I've been doing this with regular polish, and it takes about 5 tries to get the image to show up fully on the stamp, because it will only take about half of the image up on the stamp. I'm excited to get my special polishes, i'll get that next week and I'll do a...
