Self Designed Dragon nails..lol :)

Hi Everyone,

Today I have something funny to show you ;) I got creative and made my own images out of other parts of imageplates. I made these for the cool History, Myths and Legends contest of Nat from http://noholos.blogspot.nl/2012/07/stamping-and-freehand-contest.html This was such a challenge for me, since I did not have any stamps for this theme. It supposed be dragons above an old castle wall...lol :) I had so much fun thinking and making this. As you know I always love a great theme and challenge. This is actually my 2nd design I first tested both of them on paper. I will make my 1st design later. The contest is open untill August 10th so you should all enter too :) The contest has lots of prices and different stamping categories.

I had a hard time taking a normal picture because the base was too shimmery and metallic so I don't have one without the paper sorry for that. But I was already happy that I managed to make a picture that wasn't blurry or too light. And also the base colors are color accurate here.

Base is a gradient of Golden Rose Paris Magic color 327 & 328. All stamped with Konad SN black.
Thumb: head M27, body H11, wing BM314, fire out of his mouth H20, sort of castle wall XL B.
Index: dragon fire BM12, sort of castle wall XL B.
Middle finger: head and body HB016, wing BM314, tail BM305, sort of castle wall XL B.
Ring finger: head M27, body BM15, wing BM314, tail BM305, sort of castle wall XL B.
Pinkie: dragons tail BM305, sort of castle wall XL B.

Here some swatches of the gradient base.

You can see how reflecting and shimmery it was with just a bit of light.

A bit blurry.

With flash it totally got lighter.

Have a nice weekend everyone!

Liberation Day (Bevrijdingsdag)

Yesterday we celebrated Liberation Day here in Holland. There were 14 Liberation festival across the country (at least one in each of our 12 province/counities), with lots of stages with bands, music, drinks, food...one big party. The logo of the Liberation fesitval is a blue torch with red flame. I wanted to make decals of it but since a couple of months our printer is still broken...so I had to think of something else ;)

The blue base is my first franken a mix of lots of polishes and on my ring finger P2Ship Ahoi! 010 Pure White. Like I said the logo is a liberation fire/torch. So I made some sort of torch with BM07 (Konad SN red, yellow, black0 and the tower from BM15 (SN blue) upside down haha, the other flames are from Konad M63 (SN white).

You can see my inspiration here: Liberation Torch

Here a swatch of my first dark blue holo franken. Waht I remember they were: 3 blue ones from China Glaze (dark blues Up all night and a other one and a neon from the Poolside collection), China Glaze Sexagon, Catrice topcoat Million styles topcoat 08 Icy day (China Glaze fairy dust dupe), China Glaze wireless holographic topcoat, P2 topcoat, a dark blue from Seventeen, a dark blue metallic like from Flormar, Color Club worth the risque, and loose silver holo glitter powder (not spectraflair).

 It's in a empty Konad topcoat bottle I don't have any empty bottles and little balls for shaking so all the glitter went to the bottom. I made this a few months ago.

Have a nice week everyone!
