Born Pretty Store Review - Full Water Decals

((PRESS SAMPLES))

Hiya!

I'm back with my final review for Born Pretty Store - you can see the previous two here and here.

This time I'm reviewing their Flower Water Decals, which you can see on their website here. I wore these for 4 days without any issues.

There are 4 patterns to choose from, and I picked the lovely DO14. I paired it with Blackout by Maybelline Color Show and with some gold round studs. I love how these decals look - they are really pretty, have good detailing and the little gold glitter in the centre of some flowers (see my ring finger for example) is just great. My best friend was really jealous of these ;)

As you can see, the background of the decals is not pitch black like my polish, so there's a very small colour difference.

The water decal sheet is 62mm by 52 mm. It is just large enough to cover your ten nails all with the water decals - if your nails are shorter or smaller then mine, you might even get a bit more out of the sheet.

These full nail decals work just like other water decals: you cut out what you want, soak it in water and put it on your nails. There were some instructions on the back of the package as to how to use the decals, but they are a bit Google Translate-y ;) Since I know how to use water decals, I could understand what they meant but it might be a bit more difficult otherwise. Anyway, I'd actually count these instructions as a plus since I had a good laugh with them.

I made a little pictorial as to how I applied the decals. This is my first pictorial ever so I hope everything's clear. The way I applied these decals isn't the only way to do it - it was the first way I thought of, so it might not even be the easiest or best way but it worked for me.

1. You will need: water decals, nail polish, a cup with (warm) water, a pencil, some scizzors and some bakery paper.
2. Put the sheet of bakery paper on top of the nail you want to cover with the decal. As you can see, I first painted my nails black with Blackout, because the background of the decal is black too - it's to cover up any small mistakes with the decal.
3. Outline the shape of your nail with the pencil on the bakery paper.
4. Place the bakery paper (with outline) on the sheet of water decals.
5. Go over the outline a few times on the bakery paper, so the outline is pressed onto the decal sheet.
6. Cut out the shape in the decal.
7. Remove plastic film and place the decal in warm water for 10-20 seconds.
8. Remove the paper from the decal.
9. Wet your fingernail and place the decal on your nail. Wipe off any excess water, let it dry, and top coat it. Voila!

These decals were easy to use, you just have to get used to using full nail decals at first. I have never used full nail water decals before, so this was my first experience with them - I was surprised it went so smoothly.

I had one little wrinkle on my middle finger which is only noticeable when I point it out and you look really closely. 

I had also cut the decal a bit too small there - since I painted my nails black first it doesn't stand out too much, but you can see it here on my middle finger.

I already did much better with the second try, on my ring finger: no wrinkles and the decal fitted my nail much better.

Price?: This full nail water decal sheet costs $1.43 at the moment.

Where can you get them?: You can find these decals here on Born Pretty Store. There are 4 different floral patterns to choose from.
