Hi Readers! Today's Sunday Stamping Challenge is black and white. I haven't done the last two because I seemed to be off kilter with them I think. This one seemed pretty straight forward black and white. But holy cow some things just aren't as clear as black and white lol! A long time ago I made a franken that didn't turn out as I had envisioned. I noticed it recently while in the process of updating my stash list (which is WAY too freaking big!). It sat next to me on the table staring at me as if willing me to fix it somehow. So I did what any normal person would do in this situation I added glitter! I wanted this to look like glistening snow when I made it, white with iridescent flakies and hexes. For some reason it just didn't work for me. So last night I added some micro holo glitter I have and SHAZAM it's super pretty now!
Here's a pic!
You can't see the flakies in here but they are definitely present. Check out the cool hexes in it
There's just only problem with them--they are all stuck on the bottle! Hardly any of these transfer to the nail :(
I decided to name it Lost and Bound and I used it for the Sunday Stamping Challenge. I added some nice butterflies and one of the faeries from the Red Angel plate and the mani turned out really cute. I'm going to show it to my niece to see if she'd like to wear this for her prom mani.
I like how the sweet butterflies and faerie are black--kind of like naughty butterflies and faerie lol! This is the best pic I could get of the buried flakies and iridescent glitters in the polish
All in all I like this mani! I'm one of the lucky ones who ordered the Red Angle plates right when they came out because versions of the faeries now don't all have wings.
Thanks for stopping by readers! I'm off to have corned beef dinner with the family and get my butt kicked in Guesstures! I hope you all have a fantastic day!
Hi Readers! Well it's Monday so that means there was a Sunday Stamping challenge in my facebook group! This Sunday the challenge was to use a plate with 3 in it. I've got about 5 sets of stamp sets now so this was going to be rife with possibilities for me! My friend Alyssa and I went in together on an order of nail foils from Dollar Nail Art they have some awesome foils and rhinestones and such check them out here. They have a minimum order of $25 which is why Alyssa and I went together for an order. We wanted to try foils and weren't sure if we would A--be able to do them properly and B--like them. I tried them and loved them! I foolishly didn't get a picture of them before stamping on them though SORRY!
This mani is nail foil in Tie Dye Surprise with SH Whirl Wind White using plate RA113
I even took a picture of the right hand this time!
Here's a nice close up
WOW looking at that makes me dizzy!!!
Here's a shot I took of the foil for my friend Marcy who asked to see it.
It was a bit of trial and error for me with these. I found a site that said to wait 1 to 2 minutes after applying adhesive but really you need to wait a good 5 minutes before applying the foils. Once I figured that out application was a breeze. Another thing with the foils is no Seche Vite! KILLER I know but it ruins the flat foil affect and makes them all wrinkled. I used 2 really light coats of Dollar Store clear and once it dried I stamped and then did a topcoat of Seche which worked just fine.
Here's a picture of all the foils I got from Alyssa. I can't wait to try them all!
What do you think readers--do you like the stamping over the foil or do you think it's better left alone? Have you tried foils before--if yes where did you get them? If no, what's stopping you?
Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have a fantastic day!
