Under the sea - 3D stamping

Have you guys seen this totally awesome 3D design using jelly polishes?  It inspired me to create my own 3D design.  

The light reflections on these photos make them a little hard to make out, but this is what I did.

I started with a single layer of China Glaze Atlantis just for a bit of sparkle.  I then applied a layer of top coat and a layer of a teal blue jelly polish I made up using blue tinter and suspension base.

Next I stamped a seaweed plant across the my middle and ring fingers, and I also stamped some sea shells along the french tip.  I then applied top coat, and another layer of the jelly polish.  I then stamped a dolphin on my index and ring finger, a few more shells and then another layer of top coat and jelly polish.  Then I did the mermaid stamp and another dolphin, more top coat more jelly coat.  Lastly a finished with one or two dolphins and top coat.  In the end there was about 10 layers, but to make this work well, you really have to use some layers to get the depth.

This last picture is at a bit of a weird angle, but it has the least light reflections and you can see the layering the best. 

I like this idea, and need to try it again.
