Moyra Tutorials and new colour

Finally decided to have a day off crystals and completed a couple of Moyra tutorials.

On the left. Guibofu light pink and patting gel gradient. Love how this turned out. Might, finally, be getting the hang of the ombre nails – or at least this method anyway.

This is a Moyra tutorial – although I did it from memory and couldn’t be arsed going to get the black stamping polish so used dark pink – Vintage Mauve – instead.

I used the Esquisse and Esquisse Shade stamping plates – nos. 125 and 127 for the pink flowers. I had a Phil sat next to me at the time, so didn’t want to move so as not to disturb him and the Acetone for cleaning the plate was out of reach, so I had to use a different stamp for each flower. I like how this looks.

I realised that the flowers have two petals in one direction, and one in the other, so for the first time ever, managed to stamp the top flower absolutely perfectly. The other two… Not so much. But I probably won’t get it right every time until I’ve had much more practice.

In the centre, this is the Silver Dazzling Flowers on Pink ombre Acrygel base. Only I stuck to the light pink gel and mid pink patting gel, sponged into place. A laziness issue, not an I don’t have those products one.

In the tutorial, the stamping is done in white stamping gel which gives the silver a bit more depth. I used the foil gel in white and then chromed, so it’s not as eye catching as the tutorial. I used Norka’s Garden stamping plate for the pattern. I didn’t have the right text, or black stamping polish to hand, so I used the dark pink I did have, and different text. I like this look too.

On the right, this is a new Temu magnetic gel I picked up. An Xeiji colour in light, glacier blue I think it’s called. 2 coats cured, and then one more coat, but magnetised. I used a circular magnetic on a cross shaped magnetic tool and it worked brilliantly.

I really love this colour it’s another great sparkly one to add to my collection.

Small practice session today, but good.
