So this is a glitter gel base. I’ve used Nailchemy Hera. This is then stamped over the top with a full colour stamp pattern and Moyra foil stamping polish in white. I’ve used Moyra Spicery plate and chosen a butterfly design.

Using Moyra cuts 2 plate for the white box and Temu water slide stickers for the text over the top to give it a more opaque base for the text to sit on.

I didn’t have a spider gel in neon pink, so I mixed white spider gel with neon Studio art gel in Gilly by TGB. The pink lines were then created using this. Mine aren’t very straight, so more practice is needed with the spider gel.

Then I added a crystal with caviar beads around it. On the tutorial they have used neon pink buttons – tiny but very effective. I didn’t have these so I made some out of dots of the studio gel. They don’t have the same sort of shape as the ones on the tutorial. Theirs are flat, but mine are domed. But, they do they job.

The last 2 nails came from this tutorial:

For this first of these I’ve used CJP Old Lase for the base, then gradient stamped from a MoYou Halloween plate. I couldn’t resist adding a spider stamp in black to the top. I forgot to clean off the inhibition layer form the Old Lace, so the stamping wasn’t 100% on this one.

For the nail on the right, This is a gradient created using a pink and orange gel by CJP. First the nail is coated in base coat and clear acrylic powder added on top. This is then cured and the pink and orange gradient created. Before curing, another layer of acrylic powder is added. Once cured, a second layer of the gradient is applied and then coated in 2 coats of shiny top coat to create a smooth surface.

The top coat is buffed to give a nice surface for the stamp to adhere to. A cheeky stamp found from the MoYou plate, stamped in normal black stamping polish. Cleaned the plate to let this dry and then the stamp design is filled in with white stamping polish whilst still on the stamper.

I used white for the ghost, mixed white and black to make the grey for the shaded part of the cloak at the back, yellow for the lantern, and brown for the tail. A layer of primer on the nail makes sure it is nice and sticky and then stamped – reverse stamping completed!

I added the text in metal purple stamping polish – but it wasn’t very visible, so I went over it in black and added a little bat and a sweetie in the blank space. This is the best result I have had from reverse stamping, so it looks like using the regular stamping polish is going to give the best results.
