Konad fail?

Here's my latest mani, I'm not happy with it but I'm running out of polish, so it stayed.

Base colour is 3 coats Zoya Jo, I'm undecided on this one, the formula applied ok, but it took forever to dry, and today its still gummy and easily dentable. I stamped with Orly Au Champagne, which I of course love. It came out sheer and pearly, exactly the way I wanted. The design is from Konad plate M74, and was actually the reason I wanted this plate. The thin lines didn't transfer very well, but that could be due to a variety of things.
Overall I like the look, its subtle and pretty, but my nails are definitely too short for this design. Bleh. What do you guys think?

Holiday Nails of the day!

I wanted a holiday-ish manicure, so I pulled out China Glaze Poinsettia. Going through my Konad disks I actually found a design that reminded me of poinsettias. So here you go.

Two coats China Glaze Poinsettia, Stamped with Konad Gold, plate M74, and one coat of Seche Vite.

 ^^Just finished, messy, and I definitely couldn't see the nail lines, they look so dirty and they totally weren't >.<

  2 days later it started chipping so I put a coat of Essie Matte About You, and I like it WAY more. I'm totally into matte finish, and the Konad Special Gold looks really good. Red and Gold is my favorite colour combo ever. I know the pics are horrible sorry =\
