Hawaii nails


Hello everyone!

Hawaii nails


Hawaii reminds me of beautiful nature, lava, palm trees, big waves, surfing, flower necklaces, hula dancing, and a weather with sunshine and a constant pleasant temperature. I hope to go there some time. I only know Hawaii from TV and movies. The latest Hawaii movie I saw was The Descendants, where you see that although one lives in a nice place like Hawaii and looks like Clooney, one has problems like everyone else. And the pineapples on this stamping plate reminds me of Blue Hawaii! Lol! I wish I could have played in that Elvis movie. I would even have been glad to play his mother, like lucky Angela Lansbury.

I have stamped with black Konad stamping polish over my Sunset/ Fall gradient nails with Kleancolor Chunky Holo Candy, using a stamping plate with Hawaii images. I used stamping plate N.NAIL SPPMB26 from KKCenterHk. When I applied the top coat (L.A.Colors), I saw that the black stamped images became even more black.

This stamping plate has images of a coconut palm tree, Hawaii rose/ hibiscus (in the middle), other flowers, a pineapple, and the words "Hawaii" and "Aloha!".

I was going to write that the Hawaiian word Aloha means hello in English. But I googled it, and according to Wikipedia; Aloha in the Hawaiian language means affection, peace, compassion and mercy. Since the middle of the 19th century, it also has come to be used as an English greeting to say goodbye and hello. Currently, it is mostly used in the sense of "hello"

If you just want a tropical mani, and don't want the words to show, just don't put polish on that part of the stamping plate, or use a cotton swab/ Q-tips with nail polish remover to erase the word from the stamper.

When I look at my nails I feel that I should have been in a cocktail party, holding a glass of San Francisco, with coral sand on my feet.
