Mode Messed Up





My local Chemist has just recieved a new shipment of Australian brand Mode polishes AND they put them on sale for $2 each so I, well, grabbed some... quite a few... a lot?

This is 2 coats of Messed Up, a pale taupe brown creme. Mode formula is OK most of the time and always opaque is 1-2 coats. Sometimes you get a goopy coolor that needs to be thinned out, but this color was good.
Konaded with China Glaze 2030. This mani was done while on holidays and I had no top coat or cleaning tools, so it's all rather horrible looking I'm afraid....no clicking on the photos to make them bigger!


And this was Mum's mani. Petites Tahitian Green, 2 coats with Warm Black Konading. She couldn't decide which design to do so I did a different one on every nail! Warning on Tahitian Green - Wear a Base Coat!! Mum didn't and had the most horrible staining on nails and fingers. A soaking in poish remover and then lemon juice did the trick, but it was touch and go for awhile!

  2. That's an amazing konadicure there! I love that every nail has a different design- it really works when it might not have. I also quite like that Mode colour but I haven't had a chance to run into it yet! How much are Mode nps for you usually?

  3. Thanks Liz! Yes, beads..that's right, I make them don't I?? It's been too cold to sit in the shed and make beads. Will have to get back into it.

    Hey Joan, Usually they are $2.50 each but $2 makes it so much easier to buy a few of them!

  9. Tracey, Mode can be bought in a lot of chemists. I got mine in a Chemmart.
