Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

The Shorties have returned again for some more action.

Doing my Right hand has been both fun and challenging at times.

The worst part is maintaining those darn cuticles to be picture perfect.

I have also been taking advantage  of having short nails around the house 

and in the yard.. Yes I said yard.. I do yard work all the time. 

I do wear gloves,but that doesn't give me 100% protection from the dirt.

So I have to use a nail brush and give them a good scrubbing.

I also like to exfoliate my hands. I use salt or sugar for a quick scrub.

It make my hands extra soft and smooth..

Okay back to these Shorties.

SURFS UP

I used Funk Fingers Starling and Fresh paints Coconut as bases.

Fun1 and MJ SE along with Cheeky Jumbo7 and Cheeky's Mega Plate

The Yellow was stamped using MyOnline Shop's Yellow stamping polish.

Hello Nail Surfers

Welcome to My Beach

I still have many Mani's to share with you.

But today  I am going to show you Mani that is a real treat.

No really it is..

SURFS UP....

I used China Glaze "Make an Entrance" as a base.

Cheeky's Newest Jumbo Plates 

which can be found on Amazon.com or by 

clicking Cheeky Beauty

I also used CH 42 

Cheeky's Summer 2012 Set

Now I know some of you may be asking how in the heck

did I color all that in and not loose the image detail..

Well.. I am going to show you :)

1. Apply clear coat on top of a plastic bag. ( I used a sandwich bag)

2. I painted my nail my base color.

3. Stamp your image over your "Dried" topcoat.

4. Color your image in. (I use acrylic paints,but nail polish works as well)

5. Carefully peel the top-coated image off the plastic. (I use tweezers and slide it under the image)

6. Trim off any excess.

7. Place it on top of your nail with the good side facing up.

8. Apply top coat on top of your home made stamping decal.

(keep in mind**Seche Vite** shrinks your art,and it will shrink your

decal also)

9. After it's all dry you can now apply your favorite topcoat and do you clean up.

Tools to have handy..

* tweezers

*scissors 

*small dotting tool end or an orange stick (helps pull extra's off and way from nail)

Have you made you own stamping decals before?

This is not a "New" technique. It has been around for a few years now.

It's just trending again.

Thank you for surfing my wave.

I hope you enjoyed your visit at My Beach.
