Duck Dynasty Mani

Hello Nail Surfers 

Welcome to My Beach

I had received some water decals from Chaos-Nail-Design-Decals 

I really wanted to think outside the box with these decals.

Most others are just placing decals over plain solid bases.

And they do look great over plain bases too.

But of course I wanted to test the waters and try something new with them.

With Duck Dynasty decals I really could of done many different types of bases.

But I wanted to try stamping over them.

Now it is recommend to apply the decal over a light base.

With an Olive Green,Grey and Black Camo print over a White base

 I wasn't following the rules already. 

So to insure that these decals would stay true to there appearance I 

used White Acrylic paint and sponged to circles in the area I wanted to place

the decal. By me doing this I new that my background art would not

show through my decals. 

Once it was all dried I applied my top coat.

SURFS UP....

I used Cheeky Jumbo D

MyOnline Shop's Special Olive  Green  and Grey stamping polish

along with my "Trusty" Black from Mash Nails

Oh.. And did you know that Funky Fingers is "3 FREE" ?

I have tried many different brands of white polishes and all

of them having the same ending results.. Streaking and bald spots.Oh and uneven ness.

Funky Fingers give me none of these issues.. So when I spot the White or Black

I grab a bunch. This is also the White I always stamp in.

These Decals do come with an instruction sheet.

It's fairly simple to do.

*Do not remove the clear plastic off the decal*

Art,Art and More Art

Hello Nail Surfers...

     Welcome to the Beach.

  I am sorry I have not posted on a daily basics. My goal is 3-4 times a week. I am always on FB you can find me Here and also on my Fan Page Here. I also post all my work on Pinterest too. Found Here.

 I completely understand if you do not do FB. I'll still be here to on my blog. :)  I am usually on my Ipad and I can not upload my pics from that.

 About a month ago I got an ImagiNail Art printer. I finally took it out of the box and hooked it all up. Yes its great and yes I love it. But I still really prefer to stamp and do free hand art. Am I crazy? You can use any image any design your little heart desires. Anything on Google,your personal photos ,anything you can imagine   its possible. Its a very fast process too, like seconds.Clean tho it not easy and the ink stains your skin and any exposed nail plate. I am really debating on sending it back because of these issues. Its not a cheap machine to be sitting around collected dust either.And it has to be used atleast 2X a week or the ink will dry up. The ink can be bought at any store that sell printer ink , however the special polish and IRC coatings is all special order. I have ups and downs on this machine. I have not practiced much with it either to make such a decision on true quality.Other than that I have been painting and arting my nails like crazy.

Today's pics are Mani's I have done recently.

SURFS UP......
