Hello Lovely Ladies!
As most of you know, my track record with nail vinyls hasn’t been all that successful in the past, but as the Canadian country singer, Shania Twain, sings “I ain’t no quitter”; so when WhatsUp Nails contacted me to try out their new line of nail vinyls I was in!  Pumped to give them a try!
Come join me on my FIRST SUCCESSFUL nail vinyl adventure!


Whats Up Nails has just recently added nail vinyls to their online store, and they have done a GREAT job to make them day-to-day wearable and on trend.
They are made of high quality vinyl in Arizona, USA.
Each sheet retails for $3.75.
Each stencil size is 7/8in x 1 1/8in (22mm x 28mm).
I chose to try the rose vinyls first; I discovered that they are perfect to cover the entire nail and ideal to cut in half to create accents and visual interest.

The ‘negative space’ bits can be poked out with a dotting tool OR you can stick the vinyl onto a non-glossy surface and pull it off (this will leave the ‘negative space’ bits behind, leaving you with the vinyl structure).
Arrange and apply the vinyls onto the nail.  My recent transition into soak off gels has made this step FOOL PROOF!!!!! SOG is instantly dry upon curing (as long as the dispersion layer is wiped off, you will have vinyl success each and every time!!!!!!).  If you are working with regular polish, you must wait for the base color to be fully dry (so that the vinyl doesn’t lift the base color when you go to remove it).
I was hoping for a distressed look, so I used a cosmetic sponge to dab on some black over the vinyls.

I then quickly dabbed on some Cirque Colors Reflector.  The sponging process should be done rather fast, as you want to pull off the vinyls before the polish is fully dry.
I was so incredibly impressed at how the rose detail stayed in tact with these WhatsUp Nails vinyls!  I absolutely LOVED this vinyl experience… I feel like I am a changed woman!
WhatsUp Nails has generously sent me quite a few other vinyl designs.  With a number of the vinyls you can use the ‘framing’ OR the negative space fragments so each little section can be used twice to create inverse designs (if you know what I mean)…WhatsUp Nails refers to them as stickers and stencils.









I feel as though I jumped a mega hurdle with these WhatsUp Nails vinyls… I have overcome my fear of nail stencils and I am sooo looking forward to using more of their designs.
