Nail Art Water Decals

While browsing through Born Pretty Store's website, I came across some very pretty water Nail Art Decals. I had never tried decals before, so decided to buy me some pretty designs and review them for you all as well.

I got a set of 20 water nail art decal's for $2.86. It took almost 3-4 weeks for them to reach to me which was really frustrating. But once I received these, all was forgiven.

To apply them is really easy. You have to follow the instructions on the back of the package. First apply the nail polish that you want as the background for these designs and let it dry completely. I used Sally Hansen's Mellow Yellow. Then cut out each design you want to apply on each nail. So I cut out 10 flowers. Then one nail at a time, I put one cutout in a cup of water and let it soak for 10-15 seconds, after which the decal design came out by itself. Then I carefully applied it to the nail and let it stick and dry completely. I sealed it with my favorite top coat. Then repeated the process for rest of the nails.

I really like these decals. They are easy to use and very quickly create some gorgeous nail art on your nails. Most of the girls/women I meet admire my nails but don't have patience or are too lazy to do the nail art by themselves. These are the women who are looking for someone(read ME) to do nail art for them, that too for free. So if you are not one of those lazy women and really really want some pretty nail art on your finger tips without spending a lot of money, nail art decals are the technique for you.

Valentines Series: Pictorial using Revlon's Stencils

Hello Friends, today's nail art post is my first Pictorial to show how I did the nail art, which was posted yesterday. As I mentioned yesterday, the hearts in the nail art were created by using the Nail art stencils from Revlon. The dots where created by using a dotting tool.

For this manicure you will need -
1. Nail art Stencils.
2. Dotting tool (if you don't have a dotting tool you can use either a tooth pick or ends of a bobby pin).
3. 2-3 nail polishes (The polishes that I have used here are - Red is Chanel's Dragon, Pink is Revlon's Cupid and White is Butter London's Cotton Buds).
4. Top Coat.

Here is a picture of the heart stencils from Revlon, I bought from nearest drug store.

Step 1 - To start first paint your nails with a polish that you want to use as a base coat. Make sure it dries completely, before you attempt Step 2.

Step 2. Take out the Stencil and apply it on the nail. Make sure it is fully sticking to the nail else it will create a lot of mess and the stencil's design will not come properly on the nail.

Step 3. Once the stencil is sticking to the nail, using a different color polish, now paint on top of the design on the stencil.

Step 4. Without waiting for a long time, carefully take out the stencil from the nail and Voila, the design is imprinted on your nail :)

Step 5. Now on a different nail using the dotting tool apply random dots on the nail. You can mix and match the designs. As you can see I did the stencil nail art on 2 nails and dots on 3.

Step 6. Once all the nail art is dry, seal it with your favorite top coat. That's it, easy peasy, isn't it.

If you liked this pictorial and would like to see more of these for other nail art designs, let me know in the comments section below. You can also communicate with me on Facebook and Instagram. Enjoy!!!

Nail Art Stickers

The easiest way to have a simple nail art is by having a nail sticker on the nail. The nail stickers are very easy to use. Apply your favorite nail polish , then apply nail art stickers on it when the polish is dry. Seal it with a top coat, so the sticker doesn't come off easily.

Here is a simple manicure with nail stickers. The polish I used here is Revlon's "Lily" and the flower sticker is from a local drug store.
