Nail Decal Stamping

Hi There

Today I have used my nail plate and stamper to create a decal.

Here are the materials I have used 

From left to right Ruby Wing colour changing polish in Dolled Up, Kiko Nail Lacquer in Black, China Glaze Tranzitions polish in Duplicity, Modify Me and Split-Perso-Nail-Ity, OPI Polish in Flamingo Tini Pink and You're Such A Budapest, Big SDP-B2 nail plate and a dotting tool.

I started by painting all my nails with my base coat OPI's Nail Envy Strengthener, and then painted my index finger and little finger in OPI's Flamingo Tini Pink and my thumb, middle and ring fingers in OPI's You're Such A Budapest

I the added 1 coat of Ruby Wing's colour changing polish in Dolled Up to my index and little fingers.

Next I prepared my decals I took my Big SDP-B2 plate and 3 stampers (so I could do all my stamping together) I stamped this pattern onto my stamper using Kiko Nail Lacquer in Black

I didn't want all of the design on my nail as I wanted to be able to see the beautiful bluey lilac colour of the OPI You're Such A Budapest underneath so I used a dotting tool to remove the part of the image that I didn't want and it ended up like this 

Next I coloured in the image using China Glaze Tranzitions polishes in Spilt Perso-Nail-Ity, Modify Me and Duplicity using the smallest dotting tool I had the finished image looked like this

Don't worry if it looks a bit messy, just remember that this is the back of your decal. Alot of people use a topcoat to stick their decal to their nail. I have never done this because every time I did I smudged the image or the polish underneath and had to do the whole thing again. All I do is put pressure onto the stamper and roll slowly to make sure that the image has adhered to the nail. Also if you place the decal wrong you can just peel it off rather than removing all the hard work you have already done. So now I placed the decal onto my thumb, middle and ring fingers.

The above image shows the decal on my nails before clean up. If you didn't like there you had placed the decal you can remove it just by peeling it off and it won't mess up the polish below.

I then cleaned up the excess and this is the finished design

What do you think
