This Konadicure was inspired by Chanel's Spring 2010 Ready-To-Wear Collection featuring models walking down the catwalk with Les Trompe-L’oeil de Chanel (aka Chanel temporary skin art/tattoos – £49 for 4 sets, 55 designs) designed and hand-drawn by Peter Philips, Chanel’s Global Creative Director of Makeup.

Lacquer Used:
Base Colour: Revlon 031 Lilac Pastelle 3 coats Stamp Plate: Konad M62 Pearls & Bow Stamp Colour: Nina Ultra Pro 709067 Black 1 coat Topcoats: Barry M 54 Clear All-In-One 1 coat Rimmel 60 Seconds 740 Crystal Clear 1 coat
Instructions:
- I used Revlon Lilac Pastelle as a base colour. The colour has more blue than in the photo, it's like a baby pink with touch of lilac. The colour is very flattering. I don't really like its application, it's difficult to get an even coat, so I advise to use thin coats with light pressure.
- After the base colour has dried completely, I used Nina Ultra Pro Black with the Konad M62 Pearls & Bow stamp on only the ring finger. The colour stamps okay, a bit grey than expected. Because of intricacy of this particular pattern, one has to work really fast or it doesn't pick up all the details. Then I placed a designer gold nail decal on the middle finger by using a little clear varnish.
- To finish off, I first use the Barry M Clear All-In-One as a Topcoat, then I put another coat of Rimmel 60 Seconds Crystal Clear. Just to warn you, I have tried using the Rimmel 60 Seconds Crystal Clear first, but it smudges the Konad designs.

this is a great interpretation of the tattoos =) I love the chanel decals, I need to get some for myself, too! =)
Thank you! I found these randomly at a nail supply store. You can search for the Chanel decals on ebay, but search for "CC" or "designer nail stickers". But I do have to warn you that you need to bend the decal before sticking on or the little arms on the "C" are very easy to break off.
