Konad Stamping Nail Art - Stone Set
Again, this is another late post as I am pretty struggling setting my blog layout for it to be user friendly and easy to navigate.
So, this was another haul after work during my nail art obsession (I usually have my nail arts done by a semi pro at the salon nearby) and i got myself a Konad Stamping Nail Art - Stone Set. The purchase was really 100% unintentional. I say unintentional because I was just literally passing by and ignoring the stall (since the first day it was released) everyday to and from work. When the lady approached me, I've decided to take a look at the stall and the sales lady offered to made a demo on my nails. Since my nails were newly polished and the girl was really nice, I nod and agreed to put it on my pinky nail only. Then she grabbed the stamp,put a little amount of polish on the image plate,scraped it and stamped it onto my nail, tadaaan! I got a cute nail!!!! I was amazed because I thought that she will grab a brush and draw some designs on my nails like what others do. Never thought on how fast and easy could that be!
And yeah I was amazed, and just realized that I was just staring at my pinky nail for I don't know how long hahaha! Because i was really thinking of the typical paint-on-nails thing and was wondering that the actual usage of equipments differ to it's actual use. Then, I started asking her the best kit for beginners and pro alike (pro?). Yeah I'm a first timer and also because it was a bit pricey then. Somewhat I was hesitant to buy but with my eyes closed, I told her that I want something that already include all necessary equipments like stamp, scraper, image plate and special polish and some accessories. So she offered me the Konad Stamping Nail Art - Stone Set. (this is how it really looks like when brand new, my kit is already messed up haha, some/more polish blots in the box)
Here's a closer look of what's inside the box. These photos are 100% same as the actual items of what I got (photos were taken from Konad).

Create Your Own Destiny
We are constantly imitating others. When we copy other people, we can't reproduce their charisma, talent or success. Externally, we can imitate their life, their way of dressing and drive the same kind of car, but this does not bring us fulfilment.
We can take another's life as an example, but we must think hard before we follow them. Look at the virtues of others and ask yourself: "I have something valuable and worthwhile myself? How can I bring it out?" When you notice something bad in those around you, make a firm resolve: "Let me not nurture such vices".
There is much hidden potential in each one of us. What should we do to make this blossom? When you activate yourself, you bring out all the strengths and talents that God has given you, all that is inherent in you, that is natural in you, something genuine and original.
Create your own identity. When you do this other people gravitate towards you. Activation leads to gravitation. Then you don't imitate others. Instead others might want to be like you. We are used to paying more attention to the external world. We try to gain social approval by dressing ourselves in a certain manner.
We stand in front of the mirror and make sure that we are presentable before we leave the house. We trust the mirror implicitly. The mirror reflects our outward appearance, not our thoughts, feelings and relationships.
Does it reflect the love in your heart? You may go to your workplace dressed in your best clothes. When somebody provokes you there, you may retort in anger or sulk in silence. Either way your peace of mind is shattered. Now your beautiful dress does nothing to help you.
Only inner strength and equipoise can continue to keep you calm, cheerful and unruffled. For this you have to activate the divine core within, from which flows a perennial stream of peace and tranquillity.
Imitation cannot give you peace. So, watch your attitude, thoughts, words and desires. Be aware of the calmness in your inner core and try to retain it.
External beauty is temporary. Inner beauty is permanent and eternal. This is the beauty we need and this is what we gain when we activate ourselves. This is the beauty God recognises. So seek love, for you seek inner beauty. Direct your mind to a higher ideal.
When you see the divine beauty concealed in your own heart, you also see it in others. "Do not see, seek". Don't look merely at the external form, but also at the divinity within. Today when you see a beggar, you will give him alms.
You will not pat him on the back or shake his hand. If your child comes home, dirty from the playground and calls you "Mommy, Daddy ...", you hug him with love.
If a child in rags comes to you, you drive him away because you don't love him. For the realised soul a beggar and a king are equally divine and beautiful because he has activated his inner core.
When you imitate what you only see. When you activate what you seek. The difference between "see" and "seek" is the "k". That "k" is kindness or karuna.
When there is care, compassion and kindness, nothing else matters. So let us stop imitating. Let us evaluate ourselves and nurture the divine core within. Let us seek. Let us activate.
