Fuzzy Heart Sweater Tutorial: Double Processed Stamping Technique

I enjoyed learning the double processed stamping technique and creating the YouTube video for it. So I decided to create a mani using the technique. I am very pleased with the results. But boy, was this a hard mani to create!! What was your hardest design?

 

I started with 2 coats of Kleancolor Neon Pink on all nails.

Using Messy Mansion MM03 and Big Plate A, I played around until I got a design I preferred. I think this looks like a fuzzy sweater, it kind of has a knitted look to it.

 

 

Using Konad Red, I stamped the smaller of the two hearts on the MM03 plate but left it on the stamper. I then took Funky Fingers Gesso and used the image on the second row, third from the right to stamp. I placed the whole thing on my nail and then covered with Seche Vite and used Kleancolor Neon Pink to French tip the thumb nails. For an accent nail, I put Pretty Serious Cosmetics Something Strange on my ring fingers.

Here's a video tutorial:

I started with Sinful Colors Adventure Island over my full nails and then did French tips with Funky Fingers Southampton Seafoam.



 

 

 

The grass and leaves images were done with Konad green and OPI Cuckoo for this Color.

 

The red flowers were done with Konad White and the red roses were stamped with Kleancolor Metallic Red.

 

The animal image was stamped with AEngland Camelot.
