Stumped again for something to so with my names, him indoors suggested a tribal design for some reason, I had no idea where he gets these ideas from, but it was a good one.
I picked some Spring colours to use as my base that I thought would go together as a gradient or I thought I'd also see if I could reverse stamp the design or failing that make my own decals.
Polishes chosen and a white base painted the the reverse stamping did not go well, it made a smudgy mess. So I then tried making a decal, which came out a little better but still wasn't perfect.
Oooh look at that wonky, smeary mess. Some more practise is needed on these techniques and maybe a better stamper.
So I resorted to the old fashion method and sponged a gradient and stamped the pattern over the nail when dry using a black stamping polish. Doesn't stand up to a close inspection but from a far it doesn't look too bad.
