Panda Review: Konad Stamp

This is my first product review post. (yay) and no, i am not being paid/sponsored to write this. maybe in the future? XD teehee.

so anyway. 
i received a Konad set from my friend on Christmas. before i continue blabbering. maybe some of you wonder..  what's konad? is it some kind of snacks? the answer is (sadly) no.

KONAD Stamping Nail Art is a new nail-imprinting kit that lets you put designs by stamping pre-designed images on your nails in minutes.

so basically its a tool to make your nails look pretty, without visiting a nail salon that would cost a lot. it's simple and easy!

now you know what konad is, lets just continue.
i received the stamper and a S10 plate from my friend. but i haven't use it cos i don't have the special polish.
at first i thought i could only use konad special polish to transfer the picture into my nails, but turns out you can use any polish brand, as long as it's opaque enough, otherwise the image would be too sheer.
but anyway i still bought a few konad special polishes from this website called houseofkonad, just the basic color like black and white cos they can be combined with any color, and the light bronze.

i also bought these 2 image plates from the same website:

my stamping set :D

here's a tutorial how to use konad stamp. credit to OhSoPrettyFulz

and so this is the result of my experiment today. :)

i can haz pretty nails

things i use:

• konad stamp
• scraper. (i use cards that i dont use anymore as a scraper, credit card is perfect for this imo. cos the konad scraper scratches my plate T_T)
• s06 Plate
• Pokari dark purple nail polish (i use the cheap ones lol.)
• unbranded silver polish 
• konad light bronze special polish.

so here's what i thought:
pros:
easy to use
it looks awesome

cons:
special polishes are a little bit pricey (30k IDR/5ml)
scraper made of metal. it scratches image plate. T_T
can get a little bit messy

but overall, i love this product! :) might purchase another plate in the future.

random update

it's been raining heavily this week in Jakarta, there's flood everywhere. offices closed and the road filled with brown water that look like milo. it's really sad to see. and i am really thankful that i don't have to deal with flood, but for those who does, please stay safe and strong! we all wish the flood will end soon *hugs*

and it's so crazy cold in the office because of the weather, that i actually wear layered clothes, scarf and even socks! and yes, i have a really crazy looking daily socks that i got from payless. and i have 6 of them hahahaha.. (who can resist discount stuff?)
cos of the bad weather i got a bad cold since this morning, (i easily catch a cold anyway  ಠ_ಠ ) and i finally asked my boss to go home early and rest. i drink some medicine and sleep right away. it was around 4.30 and i slept till 8.30 pm swt. but hey i feel a lot better already. yihah! :D

drunken lady

suddenly remember this random conversation that happened a few years ago.
i was at the church, waiting for my parents. at that time i was wearing t-shirt with a big heineken logo on it. 
suddenly my youth pastor come by and talk to me.

pastor : please don't drink too much.
me : uh huh? (maybe i look drunk or something. i haven't been introduced to make up back then. so i probably look like a mess)
pastor : you're  wearing a heineken t-shirt. haha. that's why i said don't drink too much.
me : oh hahhaha! it's only the t-shirt. i actually dont drink.


p.s : tried heineken a couple of years later. and didn't like it. so no need to worry pastor!

 a pic from a couple of years ago. :P

random thing he says, eps: sexy sports attire

bf recently quit the gym. last week i went to buy a work out shorts with him, cos my previous one is already a little bit too big for me, and i have to pull it up every 5 mins during class. so i need a new one.

inside the store:

him : let's look for a sexy one~!

me : hahaa. are you sure?

him : haha. why not.. WAIT. I FORGOT I WONT BE WORKING OUT WITH YOU ANYMORE! NO NO NO. dont look for a sexy one!!

--

a couple of mins later...

me : AHA! this one is cheap! (referring to the pic)

him : NO NO NO NO.. it's too shortt!!

me : but you told me to look for a sexy one.

him : no no, i take back what i said. don't look for a sexy one. how about u use the long tight pants u use before one? what is it called?

me : leggingss??

him : yes that one.

me : but it's tight, dont u think it'll look sexier?

him : oh yeah right...

p.s: i bought a normal one in the end, not too crazy short but not that long. later that day, i realized that it's actually men's wear =_=
why do men wear such short shorts???!  (pic taken at the gym. pls excuse my kucel face.)
