Making decals using nail art stamping is becoming more and more popular these days. And I'm enjoying that very much. Today I have a simple nail art to share, which includes stamping and coloring the design before putting it on my nails.
For this I used the Infinity plate number 41, and the following nail polishes:
- 010 Beetle Wings from the Metal Flip collection by Miss Sporty
- Yellow nail polish from Action
- #389 from Kiko
- 05 Orange Red from Multi Effect Nail Lacquer from Kiko
- Black stamping polish from Essence
So first I painted rectangles on a plastic bag using the
Kiko 3in1 mat, which is essentially a base/top-coat. I was going to use them for practicing a bit of free-hand using acrylic paint, but that was pushed aside as I decided to try making decals with stamping.

After I was done painting, I let the colors dry overnight. And the next day it was time to try the decal on. Removing it from the plastic bag surface is a quite delicate work. One little movement in the wrong direction and it rips! Sometimes when you're lucky it's a tiny rip on the edges that you wouldn't be using anyway, but sometimes it goes all through the design. So be extra careful when you do this!
I painted all my nails with three layers of
010 Beetle Wings from
Miss Sporty, let them dry and then added a thin layer of top coat on the ring finger for the decal. After adding the decal I trimmed and cleaned the edges. You can find several videos on youtube about how to apply a full nail decal. And in the end I topped it off with a top coat. I used the
nail sealer from
Essence.
Thank you for looking!
Until next time!
