So I spent hours trying to take these photos last week after these nails got a lot of love, but I'm kind of missing some in between shots. So this is a little less like a tutorial, and more like some pictures, that I'll try to make sense of :P
Add your colours randomly, or however you want, and be generous.
Scrape over that, and clean off the plate (you can see rings of polish from where I waited too long trying to take photos). Make sure not to wipe off or clean your scraper.
This is roughly what you should have on your scraper. This isn't from the colours above - I forgot to take a photo. This is the colour mix that you'll be using.
Spread the rainbow goodness over the image you're going to use.
I like to spread the polish over in a different direction to the direction that I scrape; to further help mixing of the colours.
Scrape and stamp as normal, and repeat for the other nails :]
Scrape and stamp as normal, and repeat for the other nails :]
Here are some comparisons between using polish directly applied to the plate, and using what was left on the scraper
And one last example :]
Index finger & Ring finger are stamped using the initial colour, middle & little fingers are stamped using the colour left over from those stamps.
Okay; as this is my first tutorial, please let me know if any parts aren't clear or don't make sense :]
Let me know what you think!
Let me know what you think!
This is really cool! The results are great :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! =]
Deletegood job on your tutorial :))
ReplyDeleteIt all makes perfect sense and is very useful indeed! :)
ReplyDelete:D I'm glad! Thanks.
DeleteI like the stampings on the left better ;)
ReplyDeleteReally? I only like using that method when the image I'm using isn't so solid. But fair enough. Each to their own:]
Deleteneat!! will have to try this sometime! thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteI always wondered how you did such awesome color blending. I will definitely be trying this when I eventually get my hands on a stamper, thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDelete:D Thank you! & You're welcome.
DeleteI was wondering why you didnt just use the stamp after you scraped off the multi blobs-but I see the difference in your last pics-its a subtle difference but I see it. thanks-I so need to try this!!!!
ReplyDelete:D I'm looking forward to seeing it, if you try it ^_^
Deleteits a great tutorial for your first time :) it almost looks tie dye-ish.
ReplyDeleteI just got a stamping kit so I can't wait to try this with some of the full nail images. thanks!!
Thank you! I'm looking forward to seeing them :]
DeleteYour nails look gorgeous, brilliant stuff :)

DeleteThis is really ingenious and something I think only a true artist knows! Thanks for sharing your secrets with us!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a compliment! :D
DeleteI was just thinking about this the other day and wondering which stamping plate to use. It looks really great with the zebra print and waves. Now I have the courage to try this tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteLet me know how it turns out :]
DeleteWow that's really nice, kind of resembles a water marble look with a stamp.
ReplyDeleteThank you :]]
Deletewow, fabulous post - well done!! And i would NEVER have known you have to use the "goo" - i would have been doing it the first way, rather than the melted way. Thanks, and bravo xxx
ReplyDeleteThank you! I usually call it "goo" too xD
DeleteVery pretty I love it :)

ReplyDeleteYay! glad you liked it! :]
DeleteBrilliant! I love this, going to have to try it now! I've only done two colors before. :)
ReplyDelete:D Thank you!
Deletewhen I put multiple colors, I usually just scrape around in random motions..but this makes more sense, haha. I'll definitely try it!
ReplyDelete:D Thanks. I scrape around in random motions when the pattern isn't as solid if that makes sense :] ?
DeleteAwesome
