"Good afternoon everyone!

I hope you’re enjoying your day! I have some pretty nifty water decals to show you from the Born Pretty Store.

These water decals are something new to me – I’ve never used anything like them. They were easy to cut apart with a shop knife/exacto knife/scissors and easy to apply – soak in warm water for 10-15 seconds, apply to wet nail, and smooth out with a wet sponge or wet paper towel. Then let dry and apply topcoat! My only suggestion is that if you’re going to cut them smaller (like I’ve done), to have a pair of tweezers handy to place the decal on the nail. Otherwise, the decal sticks before you have it placed just so. Also, make sure the decals are really dry before you use topcoat – I didn’t and my topcoat smeared just slightly.

This first decal I’ve used over ALIQUID Lacquer “Quiet Night In.” You can tell that my pinky and my pointer fingers both had the decal stick before I was ready. I love this look though!

The decals looked just the white ones here, except smaller:

The second decal I’ve used over ALIQUID Lacquer “Make a Wish.” Like I said, I had a bit of smearing here, but I wore this all day yesterday and just loved how pretty my nails looked!

These are the second decals I’ve used:

I can see using these when I’m being too lazy to do nail art, or when I need a really polished and effortless look in a hurry. Or heck, just for fun! They have the neatest designs.
