Water transfer nail stickers



Since my nails are long nowadays, I find doing French more manageable. Done freehand with just 2-3 strokes. Longer nails means less stain on the edges:)


Then I used some stickers which I bought from Tao bao. I bought them thinking it the regular peel n stick on images but I was wrong. This is waaaay better! I didn't read the description when I purchased it but the results were awesome! Unlike normal nail stickers that pops out a little this is FLAT. U can barely feel it when you touch your nails, Which means it doesn't come off easily. 



They work basically by water transfer like the tattoos we play with when we were young. 
Cut the image u want to use
Soak in water for a few seconds
It slides off easily onto your nails. Seal with top coat. 




Oh ya did I mention it also glows in the dark? Seriously, how many surprises can this 3RMB item bring? :)

French polka dot

Curved French tip is pretty and tricky. The longer the nails, the better. As these requires the brush to touch the side edges of the nails, if the nails are short, u end up brushing the side of your fingers. And the ends won't be sharp. 



Add a sweet ribbon on the thumbs :)

Nail Art -One stroke flower/ Yellow fellow/ Baa baa White sheep

What you will need:
Time
Practice
Patience
 

 
 
For the flower, use a flat brush and acrylic paint. Nail polish does NOT work for this. Practice on a paper the shifting of brush delicately.
 
 
 
 
 
Use 2 shades of yellow (or any colour), this is easy with no additional tools required. Only tricky part was the left hand!! Use the rolling method (rolling your right fingers while keeping your left hand brush still). The silver glitter was made with a silver stripe brush.


 
 
And finally the baa-baa white sheep. I was just having fun and made these on gel base. Probably will work on this nail art soon, add some clouds and grass :)
