Hi everyone!
Today I have a mani that I did a few months ago but only just got around to editing! I got these water decals from the Born Pretty Store. They have every kind of nail art paraphernalia that you can imagine! I've bought many brushes and striping tapes and other various nail art tools from there and have been pleased with everything. Plus everything is really reasonably priced and they also offer free worldwide shipping :)
This was my first experience with water decals and I'm happy to say that it was a pleasant one! Once my base colour was dry (I used Covergirl Lav-endure), I cut out all the little flowers which come on a little piece of card similar to temporary tattoo sheets. Once I had the pieces cut out, I used tweezers to soak them in water so that the design could slide off the paper and be transferred to the nail. After I applied it to the nail, I dabbed it with a makeup sponge to remove the excess water and smooth out the decal. I would recommend using a generous amount of topcoat to finish off the decal design as they were a bit prone to smudging if you fiddled around with the topcoat too much.
I love how they turned out! My nail art skills are no way near being able to pull off this kind of design so it's good that I have such an easy way of cheating with these decals! :)
The best part about these is that they're on sale at the moment! Right now, they're only 0.88USD! You can purchase them
