Stained Glass Flowers Mani

Sept 5th Update: I replaced the video at the end of this post with YouTube version.

Out of 10 beautiful plates Harunouta sent me (as seen in this post), the first plate I grabbed was BP-L020, a lace plate.

I started off with Dance Legend Steel Panther, and applied Simply Peel around my cuticle for easy cleanup. I stamped a lacy floral pattern from BP-L020 using Ya Qin An Black stamping polish and peeled off Simply Peel. Then, I leadlighted with my homemade jellies with a dotting tool and finished off with Glisten & Glow HK Girl topcoat. You can see how I made these jellies on this post. For pinkie, I simply added SS8 swarovski crystals on top of the base.

I did two stained glass manis before (here and here), and used DL Steel Panther both times. It's so sparkly, I really can't think of any better polish for this look. I'm so glad I could take photos of this mani in full sun!

9/5更新:記事最後の動画をYouTube版に置き換えました。

春の歌さんから送っていただいた10枚のプレートを前にあれこれ悩んだ末、初めに作成したネイルがこちら。

ベースは全爪Dance Legend Steel Panther。クリーンアップを楽にするためにキューティクル周辺にSimply Peelを塗っておき乾かす。BP-L020のレース風の花柄をYa Qin An BlackでスタンプしてSimply Peelを剥がし、お手製ジェリーとドット棒で花をleadlight。仕上げはGlisten & Glow HK Girlトップコート。お手製ジェリーについてはこちらの記事で詳述しています。小指はSS8のスワロフスキーを乗せてトップコート。

I took the lesson from my peacock stained glass mani, and this time I only leadlighted once for each colour. The colours are still bold enough and you can see the sparkles well. Win-win!

ステンドグラスネイルは以前にも2回やっています(これこれ)が、どちらもDance Legend Steel Pantherを使っています。手持ちポリッシュの中でトップ5に入るぐらい好きです、このポリッシュ。輝きが強烈すぎて小指のスワロが霞んでるw

It's a simple process, but I tried to leadlight as precisely as possible to achieve a neat look.
I'm proud of this one!

かなり細かくなるべく丁寧に色付けするよう心掛けたので出来栄えには満足です。孔雀ネイルをしたときは色を濃くし過ぎて下のホロが見えづらくなってしまったので、その教訓を活かして今回は1回だけ色付け。マクロショットも1枚撮っておけば良かったな~。しかし今日は曇りなんだ・・・orz
