Well -kept fingernails are the business card of modern women and nail design - an expression of their taste. Unfortunately, not everyone is artistically gifted to paint cabaret and complicated motifs on their fingernails with nail polish and brush. With the help of Water Decals, still called Water Transfer Nail Stickers, beautiful patterns and simple nail designs can now be conjured up on the nails very quickly! These water pull-up pictures offer the opportunity to have professionally decorated nails, but save the money for the nail studio. You can find out how to do it.
Water Decals are not the same as nail tickers, because stickers are self -adhesive and are more difficult to place on the nail. Water Decals, on the other hand, are thin motif foils thatNail polishTo be attached to the nail, so do not stick yourself. You actually need water to replace the picture from the thin carrier paper.
In the Water Decals, a distinction is made between nail foils that completely cover the nail and decals that only map individual motifs and are more likely to be on the nails like small eye -catchers. The last ones are perfect for beginners. For the beginning, choose a simple nail design, for example, a floral pattern instead of geometric motifs or straight lines.
In addition to the Water Decals you need the following:
- A mug with water - preferably a small bowl. It is not recommended to use a high glass. If the decal drops to the glass floor, it would be much more difficult to achieve it with tweezers.
- A scissors
- tweezers
- TopCoat
- nail polish remover
- 2-3 cotton swabs
It starts with the preparation of the Water Decals. First the thin protective film is removed, which is very important. If the film stays on the decal, afterwards it can no longer be separated from the motif. Then the motif is cut out of the paper. You should not pay attention to the right shape, because the excess can be easily removed at the end. So they would not cut out the stickers too narrow or too short. There are basically 10 stickers in different sizes for every fingernail.
The nails should be freed from fat and dirt from it and already painted. The paint should be at least dry. It is best to choose white nail polish for the surface so that the colored motifs can better come into its own. The thin cardboard with the motif is placed in water and left for 5 to 10 seconds. After that, the film should replace the cardboard. If not, the cardboard will be put in water for a few seconds. Then the decal is pulled out and peaked on the nail. If the fingernail is moistened, the Decal does not stick immediately and can be positioned on the nail as desired. Don't worry about the waves that can be seen. The bumps are then smoothed with the application of the cover.
If the motif is already in the desired place, a piece of kitchen roll is pressed on the nail to absorb the excess water. Then the motif is fixed with a layer of top coat and made durable. If the top coat is dry, you can now remove the protruding parts. Immerse yourself in a cotton swab in nail polish dryer and carefully scrub the excess off. It is best to touch nothing on the nail so that the design does not smear.
A little practice is necessary, but the result is breathtaking. Whether for short or long nails, water decals are ideal for every nail length. You can easily and quickly create a professional look.
Basically there are 10 stickers for each fingernail in each pack, but you can only apply 2 - 3 of them or only provide the ring finger with an accent. The other nails are painted with a single -color nail polish. For a coherent appearance, choose a suitable color, which can be found in the motif, for example.
Gradient nails, still asOmbre nailsKnown, have beautiful color transitions and are ideal as a background for a Water Decal. The beautiful transitions are generated by the sponge technology.
First, the fingernails are painted in a light color and then with the help of a cosmetic swing, the second color is dabbed in several layers. With this technology you can also create beautiful backdrops on the fingernails like a beach in the early morning or at sunset.
Water Decals can also be combined with further nail decorations such as rhinestones and pearls. So that the whole thing does not seem too exaggerated, they rely on bright colors and simple designs.
The Water Decal Designs range from kitsch to elegant. If you like, you can stick macaroons, animals, stamps or entire landscapes on your nails. For example, floral motifs appear very elegant that convince with complicated details and radiant colors. These films offer great opportunities for beautiful nail designs that could never be designed so finely with nail polish.
