Moyra Tutorial with Jelly Gel

Today’s effort is a Morya tutorial – been waiting for plate 121 – Shine On – and it finally came today, so I now have so many more tutorials to practice on.

This is the link to today’s tutorial – Stamping in blue shades. For the base for all of these I’ve used TGB B142 – it’s supposed to be grey, but deffo light pink – need to change this on my catalogue database.

I kept 2 nails just base colour and made them matte, the other two I started stamping in white foil stamping polish, using the swirly pattern from the Shine On plate. I let it dry and covered with a thin layer of Nailchemy blue glass gel, then cured.

I repeated this until there were three layers of covered patterns, covered in blue glass gel.

For the top layer I added the white stripes, then matte coated.

Then I stamped all of the nails in the white foil stamping polish, and started to add Aspen Magpie glitter.

Got to nail 1 and realised that this wouldn’t work and the glitter would not stay when I dusted off, , so wiped them all off and started again. I then decided to use the black foil stamping gel (Moyra). The result is the nail on the right. Not good – you can see the black through the glitter, so for nail number two, swapped to white stamping gel and used this for nails two and three.

I realised on nail three that the glitter is too chunky to stick well, so I went and had a look at what other reflecting glitters I have and found Edith. Much finer and still reflective, but gold toned, rather than silver.

I used this for the final nail for the set – it’s actually nail number one above, and as you can see, this worked much, much better, so I need to find a reflecting fine silver glitter to complete this tutorial perfectly. I love this though. A lovely design from the Moyra website again.

Just realised, that although I wanted to make the stamped patterns random, I have pretty much done the same design on the mattes, and again on the blues. How freaky is that!

TTFN…
