Today's design is a cute Bleach anime inspired look. It features a mint background with brown Asian windows stamped on and Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki mini stamps. The breakdown of materials used were as follows: The green background was applied with Zoya Dillon and the brown Asian windows are stamped on in Zoya Cinnamon using Winstonia stamping plate W319. Ichigo and Rukia are stamped on with My Online Shop stamping plate JR-26 using PUEEN Super Intense Black Jack. The colors were painted in using a dotting tool and the colors used were Zoya Ember for Rukia's shirt, Zoya Kitridge for Ichigo and Rukia's faces, Zoya Amy for Ichigo's hair, Zoya Trixie for Ichigo's Bankai. The top coat is Zoya Armor. I added the top coat after taking the pictures to cut down on the glare a bit. A top coat is important because when you fill in the pictures with the dotting tool, you create a decal by painting a couple top coats over it to create a solid piece on your stamper. Then you remove the decal with tweezers and line it up on your nail. Painting the nail with a final top coat will seal the whole design in and make it seem smoother. The top coat also makes the colors brighter underneath. Some people add a top coat before adding the dried decal. I don't do this because I may need to re-position it and if it's stuck it's too late to move it. Once its in the right place you pat it down and smooth the air bubbles out. Paint the clear top coat on to make sure it stays.
Today I made an ombre sponged design in purple, green and pink over a white background. The colors used were Zoya Hudson, Zoya Dillon, Zoya Kitridge, over a Zoya Purity base coat. The stamped design is from Winstonia plate W318 utilizing the PUEEN Super Intense Black Jack stamping polish. It's topped with Zoya Armor to seal in the design.
This neat circuit board design utilizes the Winstonia Third Generation plates. These plates are very easy to stamp with. I used plate W317 from the set. A white base coat under the green made this dark green color lighter. The green nail polish is Zoya Giovanna over the white Zoya Purity with Pueen Rocking Metallic Hathaway Gold for the stamped design. The black sections of the board design were painted in with a fine nail art brush using Zoya Raven polish. The top coat is Zoya Armor to add gloss and seal it. All the polishes I use are 5FREE formulas which makes them much healthier for you to use. The stamper I used is the BMC Semi Squishy Silicone Mega Stamper which makes stamping super easy. Be sure scrape fast at a 45 degree angle and press lightly to pick up the whole design. It's an awesome pattern filled with little circuit board components which made this design a lot of fun to make.
