I went to see The Great Gatsby a few nights ago and absolutely adored the fashion, colours and style of the movie. Anyway I was inspired to do my nails in a black and gold baroque-ish style :)
..Well I think the stamps I used are a baroque pattern. I may be wrong though!
I ended up doing the feature nails twice. The first time I stamped directly onto the nails, but I didnt get it very centred so covered them in black rhinestones. It was ok..... but the off-centred-ness was annoying me too much.
I then used the 'make your own nail decal" technique to make black baroque decals and then put them on over gold polish. This way I could centre the design :)
Polishes used were :
Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in Black out
Sally Hansen Xtreme wear in Golden-i
Essie: Good as gold (stamped)
and Konad Special Polish: back
The rhinestones are from ebay.
The stamps were BM12 (the smaller ones on my thumb and non feature nails)
and the feature was from Big SDP-I
Here are the original rhinestone encrusted feature nails:
And the re-done more centred feature nails :)
Which do you prefer?
