Crazy Mermaid Nailart

You'd probably wonder at the name, LOL, a dear friend of my on instagram suggested the name, as its just like mermaid scales going haywire and the colors too proving so! This was a fun nailart to do, as I experimented with it some new things!
If in your mind you are praising me for being so a good color filler, then please hold your thoughts, as this technique is called REVERSE STAMPING

All you need to know about REVERSE STAMPING:

 Reverse stamping is a technique which is the next level of stamping, as it allows you to play with colors and be neat at the same time while obtaining the precision of nail stamping.

How to do Reverse Stamping?

Well to get to this stage you must be clear with stamping, about which you can read at my other blog posts. So if you are read further..
After you successfully stamp.. and have the design on your stamper fill it with colors, i use a dotting tool,
Most importantly DON'T BE AFRAID TO COLOR ON THE BORDER LINE. its okay because its reverse stamping ..even if the color escapes the free space and goes a bit on the outline, it does not matter.
After you finish coloring give the design some rest for a couple of seconds, seal it with a nice top coat,
NOTE ALL TOP COATS DO NOT WORK WITH REVERSE STAMPING I personally use Art- Top Coat by El-corazon.
This time give it a couple of minutes to rest. roughly after 10 minutes, squish the stamper the top coat shoulve dried and a bit of the transparent layer ( the whole thin sheet formed is called a decal ) would start to rise.
Using tweezers gently pick it up and remove the whole decal, in a single peel. GENTLY.
There might be a possibility that the decal has not completely dried so leave it for a few more seconds and retry.
Or if you feel it is dry try peeling from a different end
Now you would realise that the color that escaped the filling space doesnt matter when you reverse it because the stamping line border appears first! So its okay to be a bit messy! YAY!

A tip:
 Let the decal after peeling settle down a bit, and after a minute or two dab it after placing it as per your desire on the nail, immediately placing it may develop wrinkles and doesnt let you readjust once it touches the surface of your nail. Whereas giving it two minutes cuts these disadvantages!

Hope I have answered all your queries regarding Reverse stamping
