I still have my real flowers encapsulated in gel.

I still have my real flowers encapsulated in gel.

What gel or acrylic did you use for this, I've got some flowers I want to try but not sure how to encapsulate them. Would gel or acrylic be better? Thanks

Very messy first attempt with chrome

Same nails, different angle.

 

[CFBS]

A bit messy on the edges and not perfect stamping I know but I wanted to try the stamping followed by chrome method!
My teenage son said that clients my age would like this design but not the young ones!!! [emoji35][emoji35] I don't know what he means ....

All shellac products:
Base coat
Locket love x1
Layer it x1
Konad stamped design in Konad bright red
Gold Chrome scrubbed in with a foam applicator
Duraforce top coat x1

Most pleased with the fact I had no patches to fix when I wiped with dsperse [emoji122][emoji122]

I'm hoping that if the chrome starts to wear the locket love gold below will hide the fact!

Following my first attempt with chrome today, I'm keen to try the stamping method next time with my new Crimbo decorations plate

It can be done with gel or acrylic. I used a soak off gel, as I was not sure how they would turn out as I usually use ibd extreme gel. I used a nail form to create a base layer, I then build up the nail bed and cured, I placed the flowers on the free edge and flash cured to keep them in place. I then used the builder gel to create the apex and to cover and give strength.

what do you mean sugared? what's this technique?

 

[Cindy2021]

The glitter isn't top coated.
Apply a no wipe top coat and sprinkle glitter in. A gentle press then cure, wipe off excess and buff edges

I used Nsi glaze n go led which is great as it's a thick gel so really secures the glitter however I've only used that over acrylic.
I also use CJP but they don't do international shipping yet [emoji20]

Magpie Emily. Work Xmas night out on Sat so perfect excuse to go all out [emoji92][emoji92][emoji173]️

 

[Welsh Heart]

I removed and re-applied gel nails using nail forms, with pink french look to fingers, just need to file the thumbs down from the last set as they are way too long for this set.

I tried the sugaring effect with a normal top coat, the glitter was secured in the top coat and I gave it a wipe afterwards.

I've tried it too and it looked lovely I just found it didn't last as long
