Hello Jellos!
I am very excited to show off this manicure. It reminds me of
Tiffany lamps. I wouldn't be surprised if this image has been used with the leadlight technique before but I haven't seen it. If you know of a link or you used it, please leave the link in the notes so I can take a peek and maybe discover a new blog! :)
1 coat Billie Cosmetics White
Stamped using a frankened black and stained glass image from Cheeky XL Plate "A"
Filled in with a small dotting tool and all my franken sheers
1 gentle coat of sparkly SH Diamond Strength Diamonds
Seche Vite to finish!
This manicure wore like iron. I lightly sanded my nails, and because I knew I'd be adding a coat of sparkle I didn't want to stack up too many layers, I opted to only use one thin coat of white. I applied it as evenly as I could get it. Once the stamp and sheers went on top the unevenness was hardly noticeable. I wore this for a full week! Big win, considering the time it took to meticulously fill in all those little spaces. Totally WORTH IT. I got tons of compliments and they felt SUPER pretty! Even when the tips began to chip a bit it was not really noticeable.
The winners of my Gone So Long Giveaway have responded by the deadline, and their parcels are going in the mail this afternoon! Congratulations! I can't wait to start amassing some new goodies for the next giveaway!
