Nfu Oh #38 (Opal Flakes)
Start with a blank nail. Then, stamp from Konad plate M19:
Look! Easy enough to do all 10 nails! (Another helpful tip: raise fingertips to eye-level when stamping, so you can see what you are doing! Then start at the side of your nail that is furthest from you and roll the stamp towards you. Did you get all that? Hope so!)
After you stamp, you should apply a top coat. I used Seche Vite. It worked pretty well... No smudging. The only problem I had was with my right hand. I must have been pressing the brush too hard because it picked up and replaced some pink polish where it shouldn't have (index finger).
After everything has dried, put on #38:
Pretty!

Very pretty. Love the opal flakies maybe because my birthstone is opal..lol :)
Love it! I have to get that plate! I've been getting mixed reviews on it, especially if it's advisable to do this via Konad or freehand. But with this mani, I may have to purchase the plate!
SO great!
Sadly to me m19 is not that great and easy...
For OPI's I like Bubble Bath, Samoan Sand, or Hawaiian Orchid which is my favorite :)
I love it!! I don't have Konad yet, but I use the French tip guides and they seem to work pretty good for me. A Konad set is on the bday list. :)
my favorite for french is orly. (I know its not opi sorry) i use orly marry the man and orly bare rose.
Love it!
lovely :) i love Nfus..
Very pretty, love the strong pink with the opal Bx
very very nice i love dit !!!
Very nice, fun. Which pink special polish did you use? Thanks.
Thanks for the comments! And thank you to those that left suggestions!
Bellebathandbeyond & LaLadyBunny- This plate takes a few practices to master but once you get it figured out, it is definitely worth it! I like the crisp line you get with the image (unlike if you were to do it freehand) and the slight arch in the design. It's just perfect!
Michelle- This is Konad Psyche Hot Pink!
ohh yeh its really really pretty!!
So pretty! I *think* I have that plate...I know it's terrible that I'm not sure. I just haven't used my konad in awhile. This has definately inspired me to do some kind of funky french though!
Thanks!
I always use opi No Bees Please, its a milky nude with a hint of shimmer so its not just flat. Hope that helps! Love this look, I'm still trying to master the konad tip plate lol.
I just tried this plate for the first time and it was a bit rough :) it was hard to tell what size I needed for each finger. Now that it has sat for a day I'll stamp over what is missing. Thanks for the "tips"!
Wow! This is really pretty .. I actually thought they were some sort of special airbrushing or fake tips before I scrolled down. They look perfect!
I use OPI Canberra't Without you cuz it has a lovely micro shimmer to it... Or I use OPI Holeplessly In Love
