#139 Born Pretty Store | Water decals

One week ago I shared two designs with water decals from the BronPrettyStore. Today I have two more to share with you.

This sheet has two different very detailed designs on it, one that almost looks like a paisley design and the other looks like a fantasy flower or something, very beautiful.

With the last water decals (see video here) I cut the decals in the correct size and submerged them in water for a couple of seconds. This is one technique you can use to apply water decals. For todays designs however I used another technique (maybe ever quicker) to apply the decals to my nails.
As you can see in the video above, I cut the decal and applied the image image first on my nail. Then I used a cotton pad and dipped that in water to really saturate the cotton pad with water and pressed that ontop of the water decals. Just like with the first technique, now you have to hold the cotton pad still for a few seconds to allow the image to transfer on your nails.

I think this is a easier method to use, but you can't really tell if the image is correctly applied on the nails, you don't know if the image is straight or if there are parts which fold or something like that, when you pull away the cotton pad with the remaining sheet you can see any mistakes you could've made, but by then it's almost impossibe to change anything because the image is already stuck on the nail.


For the fist design I used three nailpolishes to create a dry brush effect, you can't really see it underneath the image but I do think it adds something to the design.

For this effect I used One mint wonder(Catrice) as the base and applied Holo in one(Catrice) and Do not disturb(Rimmel London) ontop with the dry brush. 
For the second design I've used a glitter It's showtime(Catrice) for a accent nail and the other nails were fully covered with the water decal. For the base colour I used Hide & green(Catrice)

Just like the first water decals, these were also to narrow to fit my whole nail. But the images are so beautifl and detailed that I could almost forget that they were to small.
