Hi Everyone!!! Today's theme for the Adventures In Stamping Sunday Challenge is over a nude base. Yikes! Nude is like the kiss of death for me. I'm definitely not a nude fan at all UNLESS it's in the form of a hot cowboy--then I'm all about the nude!
I try to do every Sunday challenge so I didn't want to let it beat me. I grabbed my Zoya Farah which is a really very lovely beige creme and decided to try the nail decal method for the first time. I chose a couple images from my DRK-A plate and then used China Glaze Astro Hot, Take A Trek and Infra-Red
The result is pretty. It has some nice color but at the same time seems quite subtle
I learned about the nail decal technique via Messy Mansion, basically you stamp your image onto your stamper--they say it's best to use a squishy type stamper but I've also seen results on the Konad hard stamper. You color you design in with polish and then apply a nice generous clear--don't use quick drying clear. Wait a few minutes, I waited about 20 minutes and then you peel the design off and apply it to your nail. My nails were dry. I simply smoothed the image out and then applied my Seche Vite to it
The result is a lined in white design with multi colors--something you can't really do with straight on color stamping. While it takes longer and is a bit more detailed than just stamping, it still wasn't hard to do at all
Here's the LINK if you'd like to check it our for yourself.
It's a super pretty day out today! I'm thinking about taking a walk around the zoo!
Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you all have a fantastic day!
Oooh, thanks for the tip on not using a quick dry clear. I missed that part, and the first time I made decals the clear part was foggy and hard, and I couldn't get it to stick to my nail at all. Yup, I used seche, lol. Just any old clear works ok?
ReplyDeleteI used Seche Clear for mine. I like it because it's nice a thick but it's not a fast dry clear!
DeleteBeautiful! And thank you for sharing the link.... this technique seems really interesting... ^___^
ReplyDeleteEhm.... I checked the link and I discovered that I knew it already! Ok it is better if I go to bed... ;-)
DeleteBtw.... tnx anyway for sharing: your nail art is really well realized!
I hope you try it! It's a really cool way to get more out of stamping!
