Many of you may have seen the photos I'm about to share over on Instagram already, but I thought I'd share them here too with a little more detail about how I created each look. So far I've created three manicures with this plate, using my most favorite images, but I will be having more of a play with it so do keep an eye out for more looks...
DESIGN 1
My first design is the most simple of the three to achieve. I started with a silver base (Models Own Chrome Silver) on the outer three nails, and a black base on my middle finger (NCLA Back to Black). Next I picked up the scales design and stamped it over the silver bases, sealing it in with a glossy top coat once dried.
I wanted to use the same silver polish for the mermaid as used for my base, but I was having a little trouble picking it up on my stamper. Taking a deep breath I kept trying until I managed to pull up the whole mermaid outline. As this was a slower process than normal, I decided to turn the mermaid into a make shift decal, rather than attempting to stamp it straight onto the nail, just incase it didn't fully transfer.
Once the decal had dried on the stamper, I peeled it off, placed it over my black base, and sealed it in with my glossy top coat. I love how this manicure turned out, though I know almost wish I'd have added a touch of glitter to lift the look some more...
DESIGN 2
The last two designs I have used the reverse stamping technique, I've made so many posts about how I do this, so I won't bore you with another one haha! Instead, I shall share the polishes used. The pinky nail uses Leighton Denny's Cool Rain, the forefinger uses Leighton Denny's Zero Gravity, and the middle two fingers used a white base, for which I used NCLA's Ask the Magic 8 Ball.
For the colouring in of the designs, I again used my trusty Leighton Denny polishes: Nothing but Sand (yellow), Zero gravity (grey), Cool Rain & Get your Cote (blues), and Morning Dew (green).
DESIGN 3
As mentioned before, I used the reverse Stamping Plate technique for this manicure. Polishes used are all Leighton Denny, with the exception of the white which is NCLA's Ask the Magic 8 Ball. I used Nothing but Sand (yellow), Cool Rain (blue), and Copycat (pink).
