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

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!
