Floral water decal nails

Another water decal nail art! These floral water decals are cute and vintage feel and they are super easy to apply.



Cut out your desired decal and place it in water for about 10 secs. Remove it from the water and gently move the decal and it shall move about. Pick it with a tweezers and place it on your nail! Be creative as to how you place them on your nails! Finish with a fast drying top coat.



I used by "That's what i mint!" by  Essence and by "Celeb City" by Sally Hansen for this manicure.

Review: Nail Water Decals

Have you ever wished that you can have a pretty manicure (with nailart), mess-free, doesn't require any skills really, in less than 5 minutes? YES YOU CAN!

I was more then happy when Bornprettystore.com offer to send me some nail art supplies to try out. Bornprettystore.com is a online site that sells practically everything a girl needs! From nail art materials to make up to bikinis......

This is one of the items sent to me and its so pretty! Kinda reminds me of Chinese vases. Its a purple-ish blue flower nail decal on clear background. You can find this nail decal here.


It's really simple to use these nail decals. First, paint your nails two coats of the colour you fancy. I chose white. Second, cut out that piece of nail decal you're using and soak it in water for about 10 secs. Lightly touch the surface to check if the decal is ready. If it moves, it's ready! Next, place the decal on your nails. I find that using a tweezer makes it alot more easier. Choose your design placing, and press it on your nails. Remove any excess with a nail file, cuticle pusher or a cuticle cutter. I used nail file to remove excess on the nail tips and either a cuticle pusher or cutter to remove excess from the sides and cuticle area. Lastly, top it off with top coat and that's it!



Super love the end result! It definitely helps save time and very suitable for busy girls who still wants to have pretty nails. Even for me on days when I'm lazy or running out of time, I use nail decals to spice up my manicure. They are great as they are really thin and you won't be able to tell or feel there's a decal on your nails and they look real.

Sunflower Nails

Very easy and cute Sunflower nailart! I used Essence "Tommy's Favourite Green" as the base colour and the sunflowers were painted using acrylic paint. I'm in love with this green! It's the perfect shade of dark green. Anyway, have a great weekend!

Valentine's Day Nails

Something sweet and elegant for the Valentine's Day! Heart and roses were hand drawn using acrylic paints.
I used Essie "Fiji" as the base colour.

CNY Nails - Nail Decal

Did my sister's nails for Chinese New Year. Her nails were super short and small hence its very difficult to draw nailart on them. So I used nail decals on her nails! Super fast, easy and looks great!



Poppy flower nails

Design was given by customer. Very simple and sweet!

Roses & Blings!

As you can see, I'm a little obsessed with China Glaze "Papaya Punch" recently (I used it too in my previous mani too!). It's such a gorgeous orange and so perfect for summer! The roses are hand painted with acrylic paints. Adding rhinestones is another way to jazz up your mani and make them look more sophisticated.

Ombre Rose

I'm really into ombre nails recently! They are fun and easy to do and they look pretty too! But yeah, I hate the clean up process. The nail polish remover always dry up my cuticles so be sure to put a lot of cuticle oil/cream afterwards!


Anyways, I did a baby blue & baby pink ombre background using The Faceshop "BL601" and China Glaze "Something Sweet". The roses are hand painted with acrylic paint and I added tiny silver beads on the middle & ring finger to make a heart shape. Initially I wanted to use small crystals but I ran out of them  hence the silver beads.

Nature inspired nails

My first attempt on a nature themed nailart. When I think of nature, I think of trees and greens. So I painted these grasses, added some mountains, cherry blossom trees and birds. There are actually clouds but it's kinda washed out in the photo.


I did a baby blue & green ombre (The Faceshop BL601 and Sinful Colors 'In the limelight') on my nails first before painting the details with acrylics paints.

Flowers

Frankly speaking, I had no idea what flower I was going to draw and I just randomly picked out some colours. I don't even think they'd match! So I start to doodle and got this finished product! I'm pretty glad with my colour selections! And man, this is an easy nailart to do and looks really pretty!


I noticed that most of the times I do floral nails that are sweet and girly tone of colours, so I decided to go a little bit different and chose the brown family as my base colour. These are the colours that I don't usually reach out for but I can see myself wearing this again.


Here's the nail polishes that I used to create this nailart:
Left to right: OPI Suzi's Hungary Again!, China Glaze Something Sweet, Faceshop GR502, Essence L.O.L, Essence Cookie Love and Essence Wanna Say Hello.
Oh, I layered China Glaze Fairy Dust on top of Essence Wanna Say Hello (index & pinky).

Tulips Nail

This nailart feels so SPRING! Do you know tulips are my favourite flower? My bf always got that for me on our anniversary. ❤❤❤

This is also for Instagram #nailartmar challenge, Floral. I didn't want to do roses again cuz I just did for the vintage theme so I did tulips! I use Essence Modern Romance as my base colour, Faceshop PP402 for the tulips, Faceshop GR502 & Essence Exits On Your Right for the leaves.
