Stamping Saturdays #3: Decal All The Things

*Some products in the post were won in a giveaway. As always, all opinions are my own. For more info you can view my disclosure policy here.*

Hello loves and welcome back. I don't have anything to talk about today so let's just jump right into it. I recently won the El Amor De Mi Vida Collecion from Chirality and I just had to use one of them right away. I went with Estoy Loco por Ti (I'm Crazy For You, if high school Spanish serves me right lol), a pale blue holo with blue micro flakes and golden shimmer. It is so pretty and I didn't have a light blue holo so it's definitely unique to my collection.
If you follow me on IG then you may remember that I finally figured out the secret to getting my decals to not wrinkle or roll up, Sally Hansen Hard As Nails. Ever since I've been on a decal kick, #decalallthethings! And what better things to decal then the love of my food life, sweets hehe.
Okay, so tacos are really the love of my food life, but I don't have a taco stamp so I went with my second choice. The cake is from Cheeky CH21 and is filled in with Zoya Eden. The cup is also from CH21 and is filled in with China Glaze Turned Up Turquoise. They are both from full nail images so I just isolated them on my stamper and then filled them in. The donut, which is my favorite, is from Bundle Monster BM-308 and is filled in with lilac acrylic paint. And the ice cream bar is from Pueen48 and is filled in with Zoya Taylor.

I realized from doing this that I need about five more stampers haha. This took me close to two hours to do both hands with having to wait for all the stages to dry. I do think they were totally worth it though. What do you ladies think? I'm off to see what I can come up with next. As always, thanks for stopping by, and I hope you enjoyed :)

  10. Thank you, and you're welcome. I've given up so many times because I couldn't find a topcoat that worked. Go figure that the thing that works isn't technically a topcoat lol.

  13. Thank you Dani :) I hope you get a plate that's etched nicely, BM can be hit and miss. I can't wait to see what you create with it.
    Decals are so fun but can be finicky. Yes, I saw someone using it and after having tried lots of topcoats its a little funny that the thing that works isn't actually a topcoat.
