If you're just hear to check out the nails, then welcome! I'm participating in Polish Days for the first time and the theme for today is try something new. So I decided to try out Nail Art Decals.
I am in love. Have been hit with cupid's arrow. If I could marry these nails, I would.
Now, I wasn't expecting to like nail art decals. As a matter of fact, I've been avoiding them. I thought they would look tacky. But these, they're gold. (Not the price of gold though, they were only $5!)
For my base, I used two coats of Wet n Wild Tickled Pink. I, of course, had to pair my black & white decals with pink polish.
You have to then wait for your polish to completely dry, otherwise the decals won't stick.
Once it's dry, you grab a decal with a tweezer and place it on your nail. They almost absorb into your nail, it's pretty cool actually.
I put a vintage filter on this picture because I liked the look of it. Don't judge me. |
To keep the decals firmly in place (and make them last longer), I sealed them in with a coat of Seche Vite.
And for once my right hand turned out just as good as my left! Two thumbs up for nail decals.
I might be M.I.A. for a few days because I love these way too much to take them off prematurely. Don't fret though. While I'm away you can check out my fellow bloggers that participated in Polish Days:
I don't blame you for taking a few days off to enjoy such a lovely mani. The decals look great over Tickled Pink.

DeleteI scrolled down to the comment box, already composing my message in my head, and then stopped when I read the last comment showing. Because her first sentence is EXACTLY what I was going to say! Aw, heck, this mani is an overdose of cute, so it deserves the repetition...
ReplyDeleteAwww...so cute! Seriously, I want to make googly eyes and squeal, "Kawai!" like an anime character! Heh. Seriously, though, they're really pretty and you did a great job artistically placing them. Yay for new technique usage! :)
Thank you, Iroshi! I don't know anyone who minds getting the same compliment twice :)
