Card Water Decals

Hello everyone!! 

Tonight we have some water decals from Sparkly Nails. They are card themed, would be great for a poker night! 

I was a bit annoyed I didnt think of something more fun than a white background but I just dont think I am properly on it again yet... I gotta get my nail groove back! 

I used OPI Alpine Snow for the base. The only actual white base I can get on with. The others I have tried I find streaky.

Water decals are so easy to apply, just cut out the one you want and submerge in water for a few seconds. In my opinion warmer water workers quicker. 

Then apply to transfer to the nail and topcoat. TADA!!! 

They are great if you are not confident with nail art and they are very quick to use! 

Plus they are great for toes! I cant reach down that far to do art on my own toes lol!!

These decals are available in the UK HERE

These decals were sent to me for my honest review.... please see my disclosure for more details

Lady's and Magenta-men with Water Decals

 This is Lady's and Magenta-men by OPI. 

I received this as a gift from my husband along with the water decals.

I'm not even really sure what the decals are supposed to be pictures of LOL 

But never the less, they are pretty!

Lady's and Magenta-men is quite similar to China Glazes Fuchsia. 

A shimmery Bright,bold pink. 

Pictured here with 2 coats and Poshe topcoat.

 I can just imagine this shade on my toes whilst sitting out in the sun, a proper summery shade. 

The black pearls are from eBay.

Butterfly Desire

I received a lovely bundle of goodies from Viva La Nails so I decided to use some of the butterfly's to do a lovely bright design.

Essie, as always, goes on like a dream. I actually love the Essie brush and lid. Makes the polish easy to control and means I never need to do a clean up after.

I loved this design so much its also on my toes!

I used Fear and Desire by Essie

Devilish Flowers

 

 

This is Revlon's Devilish with water decals from Viva La Nails.

 

This polish was a nightmare! Three Thickish coats and still streaky!

I also find the Revlon brush so annoying to use as its so thin.

I just wish it went on better as I actually love this colour and the simple design.

The flower is really pretty.

 

I am a big fan of water decals as they are so easy to use and give a lovely finish.

They can really jazz up a mani.  Great for a beginner to nail art.

These decals come in a sheet with 20 individual flowers. Enough for quite a few mani's if you only use them on a few fingers. Each sheet is £1.95

You can get the decals HERE

Floral Full Nail Water Decals

 

I bought a job lot of full nail water decals on EBay for the grand total of £3.99!

I had seen people using these on a few different You Tube Vids and i was really impressed with the results. Water Decals are also available as single images.

 

They remind me of the temporary tattoos i used to get out of bubble gum :)

 

They are actually really easy to use and only took me around 15 min to do one hand. The only problem i found was that the sizes were abit weird but its not hard to just re size them. The Decals are also thicker than i expected as i was worried they would break during application but no breakages!

 

To Apply;

Remove all packaging, Duh ;)

Size up decal to nail and trim if needed.

Submerge transfer in water

Life off of the paper, using tweezers helps

Place transfer on the nail and blot of excess water with kitchen roll (or something similar)

Apply Top coat

 

Handy little tip for application, i saw this on one you tube vid.....

Leave the edge of the wrap longer than required  (don't file off)

drag the top coat right to the end of the wrap

wait a couple seconds.....

the wrap will shrink backward and cap the free edge, for longer wear and a cleaner edge

some excess wrap that had shrunk back will need to be removed, i use a cocktail stick.

 

 I think i will use these in the future ALOT as i have had them on for 2 days already and they haven't chipped or anything!

Application was also smooth and there were no creases so in that respect they gave a smoother finish than the nail wraps i have previously tried. Everything gets better with practise though!

Have a nailtastic weekend guys!
