Tutorial - How to make Stamping Decals.

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.

( Fab Ur Nails - Fun 11 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
