DIY: Nail Stickers

I can't draw whatsoever but especially not with my left hand. I found this PIN on pinterest and couldn't help but try it out. While looking into it a bit more I ran into this POST that found parchment paper to work the best.

To give them all a fair chance, I used parchment paper, a ziplock bag and the tin foil from the backside of my parchment paper. I did two on each sheet, one had a top coat before the design and the second was only the design. In the end I found that the parchment paper definitely worked the best.

I let the top coat dry then painted the design on top; after the design dried I applied a top coat. I used the Nailene Top Coat; I tried Sally Hansen Hardener, Sinful Colors Clear and Sally Hansen Extreme Wear but didn't get very good results.

After letting the top coat dry the stickers peeled right off.

When it came to putting them on the nails, I applied a base coat of Sinful Colors clear and while it was still wet I put the sticker on. After allowing the sticker to dry into the base coat for a few minutes I used nail polish and cleaned up around the sides. After everything was cleaned up I applied another coat of Sinful Colors clear to lock it in. 

Now to see how long it lasts.

Collages

Collages can be really fun, but making them can be a pain. I found that with Pixlr (I love their stuff) you can create collages in a ton of different layouts.

To get started go to Pixlr's site, then choose express.

When it loads click collage

It will load with a basic layout. To choose a different layout click layout (1) then choose from the list (2).

To add a picture click the plus sign in the middle of the picture area (1), choose the picture (2) and click open.

To edit the picture click on the paintbrush. If you want to change the picture click on the double arrows right next to the paintbrush.

When adjusting the pictures there are tons of options and the only way to really find what is there is to try them all.

 This collage is the same picture just using different effects (1). I  like the effects under default (2) the best.

  

Have fun playing and experimenting with Pixlr express!!
