Hi again! I have a second post for you all today! It took me forever to come up with a manicure for these after my first idea fell through, but I am really happy with how they turned out. I got these nail art water decals from the Born Pretty Store to review and I wanted everything to be just purrfect for them! (See what I did there?)
These decals are super easy to work with and really anyone can use them. I actually remember having water decals when I was a kid that my mother had leftover from when she was in high school! I loved them then and still do now. There are a lot of different options on the Born Pretty Store for decals, but the ones I am working with today are cats and can be found HERE.
I'm guessing you want to see? Here we go!
I started with a base of China Glaze Hang-Ten Toes. I added Seche Vite topcoat and let them dry. After they dried I chose and cut out the water decals I wanted to use from this set. (#DG-008) and one by one I submerged each in warm water until they slid easily off the paper. I wet the nail with water and then placed the decal where I wanted it. Once it was placed I used a paper towel to dab the nail dry.
I used my dotting tools and Serum No 5 Day Glow to make the paw prints on my pointer and pinkie, and then I used my black and white striper to add a kitty to my thumb. I used Cult Nails Falling Hard for the pink in the ears.
After everything was dry I added another coat of Seche Vite to seal everything in and make it shine.
I really love how this came out looking and I will definitely be using the kitty decals again. But I have one more surprise for you...
THEY GLOW! I know you were wondering why I used Day Glow. I wanted it to look like the glow in the dark kitties left glow in the dark footprints on my nails. I love love love how this looks in the dark!
When they first are charged they are super bright and they stay that way for quite some time. :)
The glowing kinda makes me wish I had done a galaxy backdrop for these cuties. I'll have to try that another time.
