Stamped Dragon over a Gold and Green Foil base - Pictorial




For today I have another Pictorial for a product send to me by Born Pretty Store to review.
I will post my review tomorrow, so first I can show you how to achieve this Fierce Dragon design.






I first painted a white basecoat with 'Snow Me White' by Sinful Color over which I painted 2 layers of  'Bring it Sheer', a gorgeous pastel green with iridescent glitters.






Then i waited until the basecolor was completely dry, with some help of a fast drying topcoat. When the topcoat was completely dry, I applied the nailfoil-glue. Not over my whole nail, but only on certain parts of my nail. It is too bad you can not see it clearly in the above photo.







When the nailfoil-glue was tacky and changed from white to translucent, I first applied the green nailfoil to my nail. 
With only touching my nail ever so lightly, I added the green. Not to much, because it is a really striking color. 
After the green, I added the gold over the rest of the glue that was not covered with the green foil.
When the foil was how I liked it, I applied another layer of fastdrying topcoat.






Then it was time for my favorite part: the stamping!
I used black stampingpolish by Dashica and my squishy stampinghead.
Look at how gorgeous the image of the dragon stamps! 
It is just stunning!






Look at how gorgeous this Dragon is, stamped over the gold and green nailfoil! To let it stand out more, I painted the eye white with a black dot for it's iris. But that is all this stamp needs!






And this is how the whole Dragon looks like, stamped on my 4 nails.
It was a bit of puzzling how to place the parts of the Dragon so it looked like a whole, but I think I did a good job ;)


This design is done with stampingplate Y015 from the Born Pretty Store, itemnumber #20721
