Konad plate m56 is my favorite tip pattern plate, but I haven't used it in a long time because I haven't been able to find the plate. After many, many months, I finally bit the bullet last week and got a replacement, so I have two manicures using m56 to show you today.
First up is one using two patterns from m56. I started with two coats of Nubar Barricade, then stamped the free edge with the swirly pattern on the plate in Konad Pink, then did the little ribbon and bow pattern at the nail line in Konad Black Pearl.

I'm not as wild about that one as I'd hoped to be, but I guess I just won't love them all... It's more about how the colors look together than the patterns though. I'll likely try the same thing again with different colors to see what I think.
The second one, I like a lot. For this one, I started with four coats of China Glaze Shocking Pink. Four coats is high maintenance, but Shocking Pink is worth it to me. I then painted my tips white, gave them a minute to dry, and stamped the white part with the checkerboard tip pattern using Konad Black. I really like the outcome, and it's what I'm wearing today.

The picture here just hints at how truly retina searing Shocking Pink is, and with the black and white checks, it's a little hard on the eyes!
That's what I have for you today, Dear Reader. Until next time, love and nail polish to you!
