Making nail decals with stamping plates

Since I got a kit of acrylic paints I've been in search of nail tutorials and ideas to get them use and hopefully, improve my freehand skills.  I recently came across the Messy Mansion website and their tutorial to make nail decals with the stamping technique.

here is my first try:

This was really fun and easy to do.  If you are like me, a disaster on freehand, this techniques makes it all easier, you only need to know the basics of stamping.  To put this tutorial in practice I used a Born Pretty Store stamping plate.

Fan brush stripes nail art

I have a small nail art brush kit and have used all of them except for the fan brush.  When used acrylic nails one of the techs would always make gorgeous flower designs over my french but never saw her (or any other tech) use the fan brush.  I was so intrigued by this cute brush that so far I've only used to apply my mud face mask!
Well, mystery solved thanks to THIS tutorial from SimpleNailArtDesigns

My result doesn't look as cool as hers, but I like it.  The colors reminds me to the Baskin Robin's ice cream called Rainbow Sherbet :)
On my ring finger I attempted the saran wrap technique for the first time.  I messed it up.Waited for it to dry, added a gold flakie topcoat an attempted again...no bueno! but well, this mishaps are part of experimenting!

What I Used:

Sinful Colors Unicorn (base color)

Sinful Colors Energetic Red (ring finger)

Essie As Gold as it Gets (ring finger)

for the striping design:

white, pink and orange acrylic paints
