Hey Guys!
Here's my third tutorial - I've constructed a step by step guide to show
you - How to make Stamping Decals.
So lets get started shall we - Before we start you need to
grab the following :
- A Squishy Stamper.
- Black Stamping Polish.
( I used MoYou Black Stamping polish).
- A Image Plate.
- Nail Polish Remover.
- Tweezers.
- Nail Art Brush / Or Dotting Tool.
- A Scraper.
- Top Coat and Base coat.
- Nail polish in colors of your choice.
- Scissors.
*************************************************************
Step 1 (Below)
Apply a base coat to your nails - then paint your nails
........... Then (this is important) make sure you allow your nails to dry.
Step 2 (Below)
Stamp your selected image onto your stamper
*Do Not Apply this then to your nails*
.... Then allow to dry.
Step 3 (Below)
Once your Image is dry - You can then apply some colour !!! =D.
Once you have selected the appropriate nail polish/ Acrylic Paints - You
can colour in your image with your Nail Art Brush/ Or
Dotting tools (I prefer Dotting tools for this ).
There is no reason you couldn't use Nail Art Pens for this either.
.......Then allow this to dry
Step 4 (Below)
One your image is dry - Apply a top coat (I used a Poshe top coat here)
Make sure you leave a good boarder around the edge
of your design. This will help, when you lift the image up.
Now its really important to allow this to dry.
Step 5 (Below)
Relax...Watch an episode of a TV series your watching or listen to
some music with a cup of tea =D
You need to allow your Image to completely Dry
* Do not be fooled by the edges lifting of your stamper - If in doubt
leave it to dry for a while further *
* Ideally you should be leaving your stamping decals to dry for
30 minutes to an Hour*
When your Image is dry - You can then use your
tweezers to go around the image.
The image should lift off easily. Remove the image gently.
Step 6 ( Below)
Apply a fast drying top coat & allow this to dry ( This needs to be a
bit tacky (Basically, if you touch it with your fingertips, you need to see that your finger print is left on your nail) then it's the perfect time to stamp)
*******

You can now prepare to apply the Image to your nails - I used
scissors to trim mine slightly ( I have small nails...so I
felt this was essential ).
Step 7
Apply the Image to your nails
You can smooth this with a nail art brush or your finger.
Step 8 (Below)
Clean your nails and apply a top coat - Then sit back and admire =D
I hope you enjoyed this tutorial =D

Very good tutorial Sarah, but I was just wondering in step 7, how the image will stay in your nails if both nail and decal are dry?
