Ways to Store Image Plates

This is a couple of the
many, many, many, MANY,
different ways to store Nail Art Image Plates.
 
When I first started my collection of Image Plates
I stored them in Photo Albums.
(I really wanted business card holders
but could NOT find them ANYWHERE)
These cute glitter photo albums came from Target
Arount 1.99 Each and I put the different sets in
different color albums =)

My collection grew and I ran out of multi-color
albums sooo......
I started a binder. Alot of people use this method.
Its just a binder with "coupon holder" or "baseball card holder"
sleeves inside each page has 9 inserts.
(18 if you put them in back to back...
but I dont do that)

This is the shelf liner that I used to insert into
each little insert.

This is what it looks like
UP CLOSE 0.o

Some people make perfect little square
sheets to fill the entire insert, I however
only use enought to keep the image plate from
sliding out.

As you see here =)

TA DA!
(a look from the back side)
 
and now the front.
 
I hope this gives you an idea to store your image plates...
If you have any other ideas feel free to leave a comment or photo
Id love to see them!!!

Salon Effects by Sally Hansen


This is the Sally Hansen Salon Effects
in "Skinny Jeans"
"Real nail polish strips"
There is no dry time like with regular polish.
 
They are said to last up to 10 days!
(mine lasted for less than 24 hours)
 
 
This is Salon Effects in "Groove"
 
Thought I'd give the solid color strips a try
to see if there was a difference.
(Maybe these will last longer!)

Cocktail Manicure


To get this look all you have to do is polish your
thumb, index, and middle fingers
of your “cocktail hand” (or your dominate hand)
a sparkle or glitter nail polish color.
 
As for the rest of the fingers on that hand
and on the other hand
paint a “regular” color
(nothing glittery or sparkly)
& your done =)


Konad & Accessories

This is the Konad Double Sided Stamper with Scraper
and Konad Image Plate m60

This is the Konad Image Plate Holder
 
This is the Holder with an Image plate inside.
(Most Image Plates fit in as well)
 
This is another model of the Konad Stamper.
(Stamp and Scraper II)


This is Konad Special Polish.
(Its much thicker than regular polish)
Regular polish works with the image plates as well,
but glitter doesnt work well.
 
This is a Konad Princess Special Polish.
(With this polish there is 1 ML more polish)

There are inserts at each finger to lay false nails inside.
(you can also use puddy to make them stay)

This is a side view of the Diane Hand.

(no puddy used)

The fingers do bend a bit, but not completely.

Mini Nail Shaper

This is the Mini Nail Shaper
Its an "AS SEEN ON TV" Item.
 
The file at the tip does come off so be careful not to loose it,
as it does NOT come with extras!
 
It requires 1 AA battery (not included)
The battery last for quite some time.
 
The Mini Nail Shaper is very gentle and over all its not a bad buy.
