Ello ello me lovelies!
This week I've been sporting a 'dragged
backwards through bush' look thanks to the glorious gale force wind
we've been blessed with the past few days. I think if I actually
attempt to run a brush through my hair it'll get lost forever in the
forest of knots never to see the light of day again O_o Guess its
updo's for the time being eh?!
If you caught my previous post on how
to use Masking Fluid as a barrier for easy nail art clean up, you'll
remember that I also shared how to do a quick & simple pretty
sponge gradient. All the details on the process can be found on that
post HERE!
The gradient created a canvas that was
begging for a bit of extra attention so twas the perfect opportunity
to test out the new DIY Nail Decals I picked up recently. The colour
combination of pastel pink & turquoise blue immediately brought
mystical unicorns to mind so I couldn't resist applying the fab
unicorn decals!
For the gradient I used Models Own
Hypergels in Pink Veneer & Turquoise Gloss applied over a white
base, I love this combo! I think I may have a new found addiction to
gradients now that I know how easy they are!
For some reason I've always avoided
using nail decals, I guess I was under the impression that they were
majorly complicated to use. However I couldn't have been more wrong!
To apply the decals you simply choose
which design you wish to use, so I picked out the ten different
unicorn decals I wanted to apply & cut them out. Then doing one
nail at a time, pick up your nail decal & plop it on the surface
of a cup of water to soak for 5-10 seconds.
Once done simply lift the decal out of
the water & wait for another 5-10 seconds or so & the decal
should slide right off the backing paper, remove with the tip of your
finger & position on to the nail (polish must be dry!)
Pat the surface dry with a bit of
tissue then finish with a slick of topcoat to seal the design &
make your decal last longer. Hello magical unicorn nails!
I picked up quite a few different nail
decal sheets with funky designs from DIY Nails which I can't wait to
try out! Thanks as always for reading my beauties!
Lotsa love to ya!
