N.Nail Water Decals WDBLE1395 Changing Base

I wrote that I would be trying those N.Nail water decals from KKcenterHK again and I meant it :) I was really annoyed with that one decal out of the 20 that got stuck to the paper so I was determined to use them again to see if it was a one off problem.

I applied the water decals as I normally do. I have previously done a tutorial here on how to apply these water decals. After applying each of the decals I applied a coat of Revlon Colorstay top coat. And done!

Again I used my previous mani, Essie Super Bossa Nova :) And pretty pictures!

We had intermittant rain and sunshine so I was constantly stopping what I was doing to run outside and try to get photos in the sunlight :) Ah the effort we go to for those sunlight photos!

Oh look more pretties!

Which combo do you like better? Over Essie Braziliant or Essie Super Bossa Nova? I'm not sure which combo is my favourite but I do like these butterflies over the bright pink :)

N.NAIL Water Decals - WDBLE1395 (Pic Heavy)

I was sent some more N.Nail Water Decals from KKcenterHK for review and decided to layer them over my previous manicure :) I chose these orange and pink butterfly water decals from N.Nail to review.

The N.Nail Water Decals came in a zip-lock bag with 20 decals on a sheet and costs about AUD$2.79 (USD$2.82). I have a tutorial here on how to apply these water decals. The only problem I has was with one of the decals that I was going to place on my middle finger. After removing the decal from the water I slide the design as usual but only the top half of the decal came off! I tried leaving the other half of the decal in the water for longer but it still refused to slide off and seemed stuck onto the paper. Finally I gave up because the water decal was ripped beyond use. I then sealed them in with Revlon Colorstay top coat.

I've never had any problems with N.Nails water decals before so I can only assume that particular individual water decal became stuck to the paper somehow. You don't have to use these water decals for a whole mani, you can use them for accent nails but I wanted to show the different designs that come in the packet.

Here the decals are in artificial light.

And to take advantage of actual sunlight!

Sorry about the awkward hand position but I was trying to show the design on my thumb.

I have since used these same decals again for another full mani and I had no problems with the application. All the water decals slide off from the backing paper with no problem. I love these water decals but I think I should have put them over a softer base colour.

I'm in love with water decals! They're such a quick and easy way to spice up a mani :) KKcenterHK has a very large selection to chose from and I was like a kid in a candy store when picking out which decals to review.
