Leadlight Stamping with OPI Sheer Tints

Finally!

Ever since I saw the first leadlight stamping technique I've been dying to try it! The process of leadlight stamping starts with painting your nails either white or a very light base. When it dries you stamp over it with a dark polish, black works best! After you're done stamping you go back and color in your design with sheer jelly polishes. It's so much fun! I decided to go with a more water-colored look and applied my sheer tints with some saran wrap, the colors may not be as vibrant but it is such a soft fun look!

For this look is started with a base of Essie Blanc and then stamped over it using BM-402 and L.A Colors Black. When I finished I took some saran wrap and dipped it into some globs of the OPI Sheer Tints and dabbed it on my nails. I sealed everything in with Poshe top coat to make it shine. 

I was afraid that my water coloring technique would muddy up all of the colors and make a mess but I was very happy when that didn't happen. I really enjoy the leadlight technique and I definitly want to try it again. Maybe color something in like a painting ;) The possibilities! 

Have you tried the leadlight technique? If you did leave the link in the comments and I'll be sure to check them out!

Mish Mash Challenge: Rainbow

Happy Wednesday lovelies!

I'm sure you all know by now that Wednesday means mish mash challenges! Today's theme is rainbow and I was so excited because there's so many different possibilities with this prompt. Unfortunately I was having one of "those" days yesterday, you know, the days where nothing you paint on your nails comes out right, when you can't even paint your nails properly. UGH! I was so frustrated yesterday, I usually do between 3-5 designs on Tuesdays because it is my day off but I only managed to get this design finished before I just gave up    -_-

Well, oh well! At least I got something halfway decent for these :) 

I started with a base of OPI Bubble Bath for a base on all of my nails. Then I painted the drips and chevrons with acrylic paints. I top coated with Poshe and was finally done!

I know I could have executed these so much better, but I am still quite happy with the way they came out. I've been wanting to try rainbow drips for a while now so at least I can check that off my bucket list ;) 

Don't forget to check out what everyone else did for today's rainbow prompt! 

Thanks cupcakes :)
