Hurray more konad nail art, that’s what you’ve been waiting for!
Hello everyone! I have some big news this post… I’m Nuffnang’s featured blogger of the month 😀
Come and check it out here: http://www.nuffnang.com.au/featured-blogger/bg-2009-apr
I’m very excited about the whole thing, I really love Nuffnang and I’m having a blast meeting other bloggers with them!
Now for the real purpose of this post… I GOT MY KONAD! Really this post is in homage to Brooke and her blog “Getcha Nails Did”. She is the one who convinced me to actually get it and I’m so happy! If you don’t know what a Konad is click here: http://www.konadusa.com/
Konad nail art pics ahoy!
This was my first try so it kind of sucks… but I practiced a whole lot!

Now here is my second try, much better don’t you think? I LOVE this lace tip. This plate didn’t actually come with the set I got but the lady was nice enough to just swap it for me! How cool was that?
They are a little smudgy but I’m still proud I did this well on my second go XD
Ignore how gross my toes are and just look at the cute stamps 😀
I’m having such an awesome day today! I’m so sorry I didn’t get to reply to everyone’s comments yesterday I was sooo sick. James isn’t feeling very well this morning and I’m praying he doesn’t have what I did *_*

More pointless artwork. Ink painting today.
I thought it was time to get inspired again so here is a painting I did a couple of years ago but only just finished. At the time it was supposed to be a self portrait but I’ve changed so much I don’t identify with it at all anymore!
Still it’s not bad, too creepy to hang on the wall though! Her eyes seem to follow you without looking anywhere in particular! We hung her up for a few days but it was just so creepy that I had to stick her back in the garage!
This artwork was made with watercolours and inks on canvas.

I do love cupcakes, I like epic cupcakes even more.
Last week on Ricoche (a gal forum) Brenli and I were discussing my lack of skills cooking. Specifically this photo:
Now I am a terrible cook, just ask James he has to eat my terrible food and try to smile why he’s doing it! Anyway the story goes my cupcakes fail but Brenli had seem similar fail turned into cute little Octopus cakes. My cupcakes decided to become a sea!
I present epic cupcake sea madness!

So you have to get all the ingrediants before you begin, I’m lazy so I use cake mix!
You’re wondering… I’ve been to Violet’s place and her kitchen is not that clean wtf?! Well i moved the mess to the other counter 😀
Mix everything up until it turns up into gross but delicious sludge.
Add the patty cake thingies into your dish and then colour your mixture blue and green!
Pour the mix in but make sure that you leave some of the white cupcake patties sticking out because they are going to be the waves!
Mix mix mix.
Looks great huh? Kind of reminds me of Playdoh… delicious!
Stick it in the oven for a while… who knows how long. My oven sucks, it’s like 3 times hotter than a regular oven and the knobs don’t work so well.
Tadaa! Looks yummy right?
Now take some time while it cools down to pose and show your outfit! I freaking love this dress!
Once it’s all cool add some icing! Make sure you don’t do this when it’s still hot because otherwise it will melt everywhere. I made this mistake last time XD
Now add as many sprinkles as you want!
Ok so it doesn’t really look like the sea but you know what I do
n’t care! It was yummy!
Hurrah time to enjoy it!
Delicious XD
So you guys want to come over and eat my crappy epic? I swear I ate it and didn’t even throw it up!
No? You’d prefer epic cupcakes? Yeah fair enough.

Time for more nail art today, this time with piano keys.
These don’t look as great close up but I think they’re freaking awesome! I made them a long time ago and finally got to wear the this week! Music has always been a passion of mine so this was natural!
I’ve played piano since I was 11, I used to be pretty good but I’m so out of practice!
Now here’s a treat, me being bored while James takes my nail art photos 😉
Now here is my second try, much better don’t you think? I LOVE this lace tip. This plate didn’t actually come with the set I got but the lady was nice enough to just swap it for me! How cool was that?
They are a little smudgy but I’m still proud I did this well on my second go XD
