Vintage Floral nail art

Hello!!!
Happy New Year!

Just before Christmas I received an e-mail from Born Pretty Store. I am part of the affiliate program and this company always has the best nail trend items at the best price.

Today I felt like experimenting with tools and techniques!

I really felt in love with this Flower pattern water decals .

As you can see from pictures it shows an intricate black and white floral pattern with beautiful blooms and bunches of retro florals. To tell the truth the design is in black and rest of the sticker is transparent, so you can use it on any background.

That's why a strange idea came to my mind. I could use the water decal and colour it with the reverse stamping technique.

After pluging it into water the design will separate from the paper. I placed it onto the soft head of a stamper and started colouring the flowers and the blooms with acrylic paint and a small brush.
I haven't tried with nail polishes but I guess that too much polish would melt the stickers and ruin the nail art.

So I let the acrylic paint dry. ( You realize that it's all dry because it will became matt).
Then you can use the decal as a sticker and place it onto the nail.
I secured it with a matt clear top coat.

For this nail art I used a greige purple base on all the nails and a burgundy and light peach for flowers, light green for leaves.
 

I really hope you like it!

Best wishes,

Laura
