DUEL COLORS AND DOUBLE STAMPS

I got the idea to try this the other day when I did the diagonal base colors for a Koni I did. I wondered if I could do a double stamp, on each of the diagonals, with different colors. SO I put it to the test last night.



For the base colors I used China Glaze - a white one and a black one (lol, sorry, forgot to get the names!) I painted two coats of the white, and then painted the black diagonals.




The next step was to take my white and black Konad SP, and use each color on the opposite colors side. The white Konad SP on the black diagonal and vice versa. I chose the leopard full nail image plate. I used the straight edge from the image and lined it up along my diagonal line I painted on my nail.
The results worked like I'd hoped, however, this is just too much going on. Without really looking at my nail, I could not tell that it was done with all the opposites. It just looked like a white and black nail with leopard print. I think this would have worked if I had used different colors than the base colors for both of my stamps, and also if my nails were longer. This is pretty messy, but I just wanted to see if my idea would work. So I will be tweaking this one and hopefully have a really cool koni of the day to show you along these lines!
