Now that, (as of yesterday), I’ve moved into my new place, I’m a bit more settled and organized, and so able to paint my nails, and post! I’m trying to get in a few non-office colours before I start work next week (more on that in a later post), so decided on China Glaze Recycle, konaded with China Glaze Awaken.
Some things so far that are different about applying nail polish here, I’ve noticed a definite change for the better in application, I think it must be because it’s so much cooler here. Related to this, nail polish remover makes my fingers freeeeeze. I’m having to turn the heater on and warm my hands between konads. Isn’t summer supposed to end on the 22nd of September? I’m a bit of a wimp, temperature-wise, admittedly, but I’m cooooold.
Right, photos!
Recycle on it’s own. I thought it might be too flat a grey for me to love, but it’s not, it’s one of my favourites. :)
Konaded with Awaken, which is amazing for the purpose. So much better than the Konad Silver SP, which was meh, though not as bad as the pink, which was really rubbish. (Broke my heart, because I really wanted it for konading on Recycle, as pink and grey is one of my preferred colour combinations.)
Dead on it’s very subtle indeed. But in the sun, Awaken comes into its own.
And lastly, my new toy that’s made playing with Konad even more fun:
I love this nail polish remover dispenser, you just press down on the top with cotton wool and it dispenses a little remover. I know it’s hardly necessary, but when you’re trying to be very careful not to smudge wet polish, it’s so much more convenient than fiddling with bottles and caps. :)

So glad your getting a little settled. I love this Konadicure. I do like the grey polish on it’s own but it’s a WOW with the Konad. Awaken just looks amazing witht the grey. Gorgeous. I like your new toy. It’s like the dispenser that the Zoya remover comes in. I’m happy your posting again. Hope you can do it often.

Thanks Lucy! I’ve heard so many good things about the Zoya remover, if I ever get the chance to make an order from them, I’m definitely getting it. :)
