Born Pretty Store Water Decals

Today I want to show you these lovely full nail water decals Born Pretty Store sent me for reviewing purposes, thank you so much!

I started with a white base, two coats of Essie Blanc. Application of the decals was quite easy: just remove the transparent protection foil, soak the decals in warm water for 20-30 seconds, remove the white sheet underneath and place them on your wet nails. It's really important to wet your nails with water, if you don't, you'll probably tear the decals. You can move the decals around on your wet nails until you're happy with the placement. Then dab the water off with some tissue and add topcoat. Since the decals are rectangular and my nails aren't, I folded the excess over me free edge and filed it off after the topcoat was dry. The edges on my cuticles I could remove with acetone.

You can get the water decals here for only 2.37$. There are three different patterns/colors to choose from, I'm wearing DLS-345.

Lady Queen Beauty Water Decals

Today I want so show you some water decals Lady Queen Beauty offered me for reviewing purposes. Thank you so much, Lady Queen Beauty!





The decals come in a single sheet without any pre-formed cutouts, so you have to cut them yourself. They come in two rows, each 2cm high and 5.6cm wide. If you want to wear them as a full mani, you need quite narrow nails, as the 5.6cm aren't much for five nails. Mine are too wide, so I decided to use the decals as accent nails only. On my middle and ring finger, I applied the water decals over a white base (two coats of Essie Blanc). Application was easy, just soak the decal in warm water (remove the clear protection foil first), slide it from the white protection paper, apply it to the damp nail, pat it dry with some tissue and topcoat it. These flower decals have a quite delicate print, rather translucent, so a white base really is mandatory.

On my other fingers I chose a polish in the same color range, Pahlish Nodding Violet, a muted lilac holo. It needed three coats for opacity. I added one coat of KBShimmer Cleary On Top to protect the decals (and the polish).






 If you like the water decals, you can get them here for 2.32$ a sheet. There are various color and pattern choices available, the ones I'm wearing are number 004. If you're looking for water decals or various other nail art items, feel free to use my code "MNLC15" for a 15% discount.

My Birthday Nails: Dragon

My birthday was last weekend, and here's what I was wearing: these dragon water decals by Born Pretty Store.





I applied the decals over a white base, two coats of Essie Blanc. The dragon's body is not white but transparent, so a light base is mandatory. Application of the decals was quite easy: just remove the transparent protection foil, soak the decals in warm water for 20-30 seconds, remove the white sheet underneath and place them on your wet nails. It's really important to wet your nails with water, if you don't, you'll probably tear the decals. You can move the decals around on your wet nails until you're happy with the placement. Then dab the water off with some tissue and add topcoat. Since the decals are rectangular and my nails aren't, I folded the excess over me free edge and filed it off after the topcoat was dry. The edges on my cuticles I could remove with acetone.

There are four different dragon pattern to choose from, one set contains 10 decals, enough for one full mani. You can get the decals here for 2.86$.

Lady Queen Galaxy Nail Foils

Lady Queen Beauty sent me these galaxy nail wraps I want to show you today.

Application of these wraps is really easy. Start with a layer of basecoat. I then added one coat of P2 Eternal, a black creme, for an even base (but that's purely optional). Once your nails are dry, just choose the right size of the wrap, remove it from the packaging, place it on the nails, smooth it down with you fingers, fold the excess over the edge of the nail and file the rest of the wrap off. Add a layer of topcoat (don't forget to wrap the tips), and you're finished!

Sadly, I wasn't 100% happy with the quality of these wraps. They stuck to the sheet, so I tore several of them (I could still use them, since they were too long for my nails, so I had so cut off a bit anyway), and I had quite some wrinkles after application (maybe I'm just too clumsy). When I added the topcoat, the design seemed to fade and the glitter base appeared. so the galaxy design isn't as visible as it was in the packaging (sorry I forgot to take pictures before application).

You can get the galaxy nail wraps here for 2.96$.
