You can blame the procrastinator in me for being too lazy to edit the photos till now. Sowee. *runs and hides*
Continuing with my pink theme, I was inspired to do a Konadicure based on the iconic pink and dark brown colour scheme of Juicy Couture! I don't really like their stuff (shocked, are you?). It's just not my style, but I do ♥ the colour combination.
My nails were a tiny bit longer for this Konadicure cause it was towards the end of the holidays already, thank God. I cannot stress enough how much I really hate short nails!
Of the 2 Konadicures I did during the holidays, I definitely love this one a lot more. I just adored showing them off for a week! Yes, I can be an attention-whore sometimes, especially when it comes to my nails, my pride and joy.
In natural lighting.
A unfocused photo so you can see how sparkly the blings were. I've learnt that nails will always look better with blings! :D
The brown was actually a bit darker than it how it looks in the photos with natural light. More like a deep, rich chocolatey brown. Mmmm, chocolate... shit.
Congratulate me, I've resisted chocolate for only 4 days so far! 27 more days to go, fingers crossed. Okay, I'm digressing. Back to the nails!
With flash.
They were fast to do too, considering they look quite complicated. About 1 and a half hours maybe? When I told this to some people, they gasped in shock. What?! I've spent 2 and a half hours on some of my more elaborate Konadicures before!
Well, most of the time is wasted just waiting for the polish to dry anyway. Other nail afficionados (sp?) out there will know how bloody tedious it is to wait, wait and wait! But we do it for the thrill of painting and the satisfaction of the perfect end-product.
Yes, that's what you call dedication :D
I used Silkygirl Ever Glossy - Sassy Raspberry for the base. I love this pink so much but it's finishing and turning a bit goopy :( I plan to buy a new bottle to replace it. Skin Food - BR610 Coffee Jelly for the diagonal tips, Elianto - #44 Twilight Zone for the Konad design and The Face Shop nail top coat.

Big thanks to Munibah! I used her Canon DSLR to take all the photos.
It feels so good to finally be reunited with my own digital camera now that my dad is back in Brunei again :) Guess what else has been reunited?
My This Is War CD! I haven't listened to it in 3 months since I accidentally left it in Penang, but I still remember all the lyrics. It feels so good to hear it again. I will always love 30 Seconds To Mars.
Until next time (which will probably be in June, my apologies!), happy Konad-ing!
