Hiya guys. It's Thursday already and I'm quite bummed out as my lazy glory week is almost over. No more sleeping past noon with my doggies for me. But it's back to the real world where I have to wear pants all the time, lame. Haha. Anyway, for today I have a mani to show you all using full nail water decals from the Born Pretty Store. I have reviewed a ton of items from BPS before and if you'd ever like to see them, please type in 'Born Pretty Store' in the search box. Now let's take a look at the mani!
So vintage and retro, I'm in love with this floral pattern. I think it might actually be one of the first times I decided to give it a go with a full nail wrap/decal like this. Now let's take a look at how my experience with the product was.
The floral water transfer decals retail for $1.99 and is item #16216 from the Born Pretty Store. It will bring you exactly ten decals, so you have no room for error if you intend to go full mani with them. Personally, I found that these tear very easily and had three completely mess up on me while in the process. If like I said your intention is a full mani, then I do suggest purchasing two packets just in case you mess up like I did.
Originally I thought these would make perfect accent nails only, but after having a full mani with them I have completely changed my mind on that. Of course, you can still just have this as an accent but it's also nice knowing it makes a great full mani too.
The application process is a little bit difficult for beginners and as I mentioned this was my first time dealing with this type of decal. They do tear very easily if you're not careful removing the excess from around your nail, especially the cuticle area. A good example of this is my index nail, although it's hard to tell it is torn from the top and side. The method I had most success with was to wait until the decal is sealed with a topcoat and completely dry before slowly cutting around the excess. I also found it easier to tear around my nail shape with an orange stick. It's a lengthy process because you do have to work very slowly. If you're looking for some quick and easy decals, then these are not for you. But if you're like me and have the time to fiddle around, then I definitely suggest picking these up because when they do come out nicely at the end of it all!
As I mentioned before, the Floral Nail Water Decals can be found in the Born Pretty Store listed as Item #16216. Each pack comes with exactly ten decals and is available for $1.99. If you'd like to shop over at Born Pretty Store be sure to use my code ROHG10 to receive 10% off your purchase. As always you'll receive free shipping, however, shipping does take around 3-6 weeks.
How do you guys feel about these decals? Do you love the vintage look as much as I do?
Love the flowers! So very pretty =)
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteThose are gorgeous! I've been seeing a lot of wraps lately. I'm really interested in giving them a try.
ReplyDeleteI definitely think you should! The end result is worth the hassle of getting them on.
DeleteThese look great! This is why I love nail wraps. You can do just about anything on your nails!
ReplyDeleteYes, exactly! I'm always a fan of nail wraps, but it's always a struggle with them lol.
DeleteSo cute! Perfect for Easter, they give me that Easter dress vibe from when I was a kid :)
ReplyDeleteThanks sista. They are def have Easter written all over them!
DeleteIt's adorable. I would totally wear something like that.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteThis set is gorgeous! I love floral designs!

Me too! Floral is a favorite all year round.
DeleteThose are so cute and so unique. I would wear these everywhere and I know the kids would love them as well. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous design but I doubt I'd have the patience to do more than a nail or two.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It's definitely the if you're in a hurry kind of decals that's for sure.
DeleteOmg I LOVE nail stickers. These one's are probably the prettiest ones I have ever seen - seriously.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot :) I love the vintage look to them. On the website they looked totally different.
DeleteI love it. I have acrylics, so I can't use nail stickers - which is a bummer because I love all the cool prints.
ReplyDeleteAw that's too bad :( That is one downside of acrylics unfortunately.
DeleteThey're gorgeous!!!! Never heard of them but checking them out now :)
ReplyDeleteYou should, they have a ton of stuff for so cheap. But the only let down is the shipping, it will take at least a month.
DeleteThese are so cute. I love how there are so many different designs you can use--I tried Jamberry but they always fall off and damage my nails.

These decals turned out really nice! Plus, Seche Vite is one of my favorite top coats!
ReplyDeleteLove the decals! Haven’t tried putting them on my nails, but I’ll check them out!!!
ReplyDeleteThose ended up looking really pretty. I can see how it could be a long process to get them just right. It was worth it though!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea. Your nails came out looking beautiful .
ReplyDeleteI can never get the wraps just right, but those are very pretty and springlike!
ReplyDeleteOh I have these! They are so pretty! Yeah, I typically don't ever have the patience to do a full mani with these types of decals and end up doing just accents. This is so striking as a full mani though! They do have a bit of a learning curve, but they aren't too bad! I've played with them several times, and the easiest and cleanest way to clean up the edges and tips is with acetone and a clean-up brush. They melt away with acentone and actually, if you do this at the tips it sort of seals the tips. It was trial and error, but I found that method worked really well (in case you want more detail, here is a link to the post I made about them http://lavishlayerings.blogspot.com/2014/09/born-pretty-store-colorful-rainbow.html).
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love the way yours come out too. I didn't even think to try my cleanup brush, I will definitely have to try it the next time I have some of these to play with.
DeleteI love these - so vintage looking and retro!
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteAwww that is a beautiful Spring design! I don't do manis often and when I do, just those simple ones.
ReplyDeleteLol at having to wear pants again! I love those days!! Anyway, this is a fun spring design!
ReplyDeleteThanks, haha. Whenever I can get away with few articles of clothing I'm all over it :p My nail corner is in the attic and it's so hot up here.
DeleteI have some full nail decals on the way so thanks for the application tip. I really like these, as I do all things floral, so I'll be adding to my wishlist. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's very cute nail art I've ever since and all woman should ave this.
ReplyDeleteThank you :)
DeleteI love these! They are so pretty! And look fairly easy!
ReplyDeleteThank you. They are not as hard if you have the time to do it slowly. Rushing will make this anything but easy lol.
DeleteWow. Such gorgeous manicure. The vintage floral decal looks classic.
ReplyDeleteThank you! And yes, it so has that classic look to it. I can imagine it with a vintage looking so good.
DeleteLove the floral pattern, so pretty!

Thank you, I'm so glad you like it.
DeleteI've never seen that kind of print for nails. I really like it!
ReplyDeleteThis is your first time applying them?! They look flawless! I'm impressed!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love that print! It reminds me of a wallpaper design. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous! I really wish I had time to make my nails pretty like this. Maybe I should find some time, they look so pretty.
ReplyDeletePants…so lame. LOL! I love how you used these, your manicure looks so great!
ReplyDeleteOmg totally loving the floral nail print! Totally awesome for spring or even for Easter! Just love it :)
ReplyDeleteIt sucks that I reeeally can not work with water decals, because this print is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love old-lady prints used in a modern way! So I love these nails. But not enough to futz around with water decals though.
ReplyDeleteAh, those are so pretty! They would be a mess on me, I can barely paint my nails! LOL
ReplyDeleteSuper pretty. :) I haven't tried the full nail water decals yet.
ReplyDeleteYou did such a precise job applying them! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThose nails are beautiful, if only we did our nails more.
ReplyDeleteBoo to wearing pants!! I totally love these though!
ReplyDeleteThat is simply beautiful! It is definitely perfect for this season.
ReplyDeleteThose are so pretty. I need to learn how to apply them better.
ReplyDeleteThat's an inexpensive price for nail decals, which I have never used before. The floral print is really pretty.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is always posting things about her nails. I am sure she will love these. I am sharing with her.
ReplyDeleteWow! That floral pattern is very girly and I love the design. I think it's better than painting your nails with colors manually.
