I know this is yet again not my best photo (yay for cloudy days and crappy house lighting!), but check out my freaking decal. I made it by myself with only nail polish and stamping plates. I don't know if every stamping plate would allow me to make a decal this well, but I'm betting that most of them would work - meaning that I have a binder full of images just waiting to be filled in and worn in a whole new way. 😳
I'm really missing this thing called "free time" right now because I want to do this about a thousandy more times. 😂 The filling in of something so tiny is really tedious, but I think it's kind of meditative for me. And right about now I think that's something I need.
Anyway, I read that decals can be stored for about 10 days before becoming too brittle to use so IN THEORY I could make decals for you guys if I have something on any of my stamping plates that you'd like to wear. Best of all you could probably stick these down yourselves because that was the easy part. 🙂
To stick it down I put down a clear polish on top of my base color, let it dry a little, then stuck the decal down. I trimmed as much of it down as I could with cuticle scissors, then buffed it off the tip of the nail, then used a thin brush dipped in acetone to clean the edges and seal the sides down. Threw on a nice topcoat after that and I was good to go! (I know that might sound like a lot, but there was really nothing to it.)
Anyway. I felt like that was pretty freaking neat. Jamberry ain't got nothing on me! 😃
