Today I would like to show you my first manicure made with water decals. These water decals are "home-made" and I got them from my husband :-)
My husband plays subbuteo - table soccer, here is an interesting video from Europa Cup For Teams 2006, please take a look!
In his free time he enjoys decorating his little plastic men or more professionally his "three-dimensional plastic figures" of his favourite teams. He likes the technique of hand painting with adding some water decals, this is his "winning combination" :-)
He uses a special clear decal paper, stamps these very small images of sport kits, brands, sponsors and badges, cuts them and decorates his players with them.
So, I thought "Why shouldn't I try some water decals too?" and I asked him to stamp some water decal images for me. He agreed and said that I only have to choose from various vector logos (he uses them in Corel Draw), tell him what I want and he will stamp it for me, as simple as that :-)
The first thing that came to my mind were... flowers... :-) but this time I resisted to the temptation...! :-)
The second thing that I thought could be interesting were some cartoon characters, and for my first home-made water decals I chose "La linea", a funny italian cartoon character designed by Osvaldo Cavandoli (1920-2007), a famous italian animator and cartoonist.
I simply adore this character! :-)
Have you ever seen "La linea"? Do you like it?
Do you like my first water decal manicure? :-)
Have you ever made your own "home-made" water decals?
I have a slight feeling that I'm going to spend a lot of my free time searching for some nice flower vector logos...! :-)

ReplyDelete:-) Secam se da sam se mnogo puta bas slatko nasmejala gledajuci ovaj crtani film... i kada sam bila mala, a sada jos vise.. :-)
Delete"three-dimensional plastic figures" sure sound more professional - hahaha, you made me laugh :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a great decal - looks fun too :)
Yes, I think this is the their official name :-) I am sure I will try again with some water decals, I had fun and I think that some flower water decals will be really nice to see! :-)
DeleteYour decals are excellent! They came out perfect :) I would love to get my hands on the paper one day because the amount of unique things you can do is limitless.
ReplyDeleteThank you! :-) You don't need to explain anything to me about the amount of unique things that could be done... yesterday I spent 2 hours searching for beautiful designs... :-)
DeleteIf you're interested, I can ask my husband where exactly he buys his clear decal paper (some ebay seller, I guess...) and I will let you know :-)
Aaaa super je manikura, muzu pohvale za izradu i spremnosti za pomoc :) Nisam odavno vidjela taj crtani, ali znam da sam ga ko klinka voljela pogledat.
ReplyDeleteMoj muz je spreman za saradnju i aktivno ucestvuje pri izradi manikira, tj. hvali ili kritikuje, uvek iskreno :-) A sto se ovoga tice, on jedva ceka da mi nesto lepo odstampa, bas se zabavio sa stampanjem ovih prvih water decal nalepnica :-) Pa, onda to treba iskoristiti, zar ne? :-)
Deletesvakako, jedva cekam sto ce novo izac iz vase male radionice :)
DeleteBice sigurno nekog cveca :-)
Deletee sad sam totalno ljubomorna :P
ReplyDeletebravo za mužeka koji se voli igrat, sad u biznis s naljepnicama ;)
super mi je manikura, na prvu sam mislila da si ga nacrtala, uvijek bi me nasmijao iako crtani nisam vidla već sto godina čini mi se :D
Sada cu ja da odaberem neke lepe cvetice, a moj muzic ce da mi ih odstampa, pa cemo ponoviti ovo zanimljivo iskustvo :-) Pa, mislila sam i da ga nacrtam, a mozda cu ga jednog dana i nacrtati, a u medjuvremenu ga gledam na YouTube-u :-) I ja sam kao klinka ludovala za tim crtanim! :-)
DeleteWow, awesome!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Irina! :-)
DeleteTole je pa 1 A ideja!!! =)) Bravo Claudio, bravo Tacko, tale manikura je s skupnimi močmi super izpadla! La Linea je pa itak zakon! ;D
ReplyDelete:-) Hvala, Matejcek! :-) Nadam se da je ovo samo prvi od mnogih slicnih lepih water decal manikira! :-)
DeleteOMG!!! I LOVE this character so much!!! Such a cutie!!!
ReplyDeleteThe decals are nice :-D
Yes, I remember it from my childhood, it was so funny! Also now I enjoy watching it at YouTube, so I really wanted to try with some La linea home-made water decals :-)
DeleteSo adorable! I love the little line guy. Such wonderful decals you created :D
ReplyDeleteI'm happy my husband helped me and stamped this water decals for me, I hope there will be more interesting water decals :-) I always adored the little line guy and I still adore him :-)
DeleteOoooo pa ja tek sad vidim La Lineu i kod tebe!!!
ReplyDeleteOvo je odlično!!!
Svaka čast mužeku na pomoći :)
(Sad mi je uopće bed kaj sam pokazivala svoju koja nije baš po špagi!)
Hvala, ali ovo je stvarno nista, samo naneses odstampani water decal... :-) Tvoja La Linea je "hand made nail art", vredi mnogo mnogo vise i treba uspeti nacrtati je tako kako si ti uspela :-)
