Morning Geeks

Are you all enjoying the snow :lol: he he.

I was just looking thought you tube for ideas on valentines nail art with water marbling and i came accross the carrier bag method, it looks so cool and i have never heard of it before. Have any of you?

I will def be trying it out for my left hand, it makes it alot easier to do nail art on your less dominant hand. :green:

Just thought i would share with you all.

I know what I'm doing today

It is a way of making your own decals. It is actually a method that we teach and I wouldn't say it was actually 'new'. But some quite cool things can be done using this method (Jeni Smith .. Busybee has done some amazing designs using CND Colour & Effects, that look like Abalone shell) .simply stunning and very chic.

Have fun.

The are called decals.

CND's Education Ambassadors have been using this method for quite a while now.. I'll try and find some videos for you to watch.

Cool isn't it?

Edit... I really need to speed up on my typing :lol:

Sorry geeg!

Here's one of the lovely Holly's videos for you to see where she makes decals with Shellac...

why have i not seen this before lol, loving it..its cost effective, creative & looks like abit of fun. so I know what how im using up my old polishes lol, does anyone know if you could make the decals out of nail polish & apply over gel polish?? just wondering. x

 

[LouboutinLover]

Wow that's so cool! Thank you for posting this - what a clever idea! I am so giving this a go!!!
I cannot see why this could not go over gel polish butterfly - earlier in the thread its been said u can do this with Shellac too - so seems viable you can put it over yr gel polish n then seal it with the topcoat and cure. I cud be wrong so we'll wait n see lol 😜

Ok I was so not aware of this!!!!!!!!! Can I ask how you adhere these to the nail? Do they just cling on or do they require nail glue?

Thanks

 

[skippy87]

From what i saw on the video she put top coat on her nail, then the decal, then top coat again to seal it in.

Im so glad i found the video looks like so much fun :green:
