Etching

In figure 1 below, it's copper plate that was extra with my etched design that I made last year, 2019. This plate has patterns of mehndi design that was my reference; I decided to use this plate to cut different shapes. I pierced different nails shapes (figure 2), my aim was to add colour on the nails. As you can see in figure 3 I used transparent enamel instead of nail polish because I wanted to try something new that I had never done before. I found it difficult to use enamel because the power did not set on the edges of my the plate and the problem was I over domed my metal unevenly; that is why it did not set properly.
