Born Pretty Store Water Decal Nail Appliques Review

Hi guys! I have a product from Born Pretty Store to show you today. I'm sure most of you have heard of them before. They sell a whole bunch of nail art supplies, as well as some jewellery and accessories too. Everything on the site is super duper affordable which is what I love the most. :)

Today I'll be showing you these full nail Water Decal Nail Appliques! I actually had no idea that you could get full nail water decals. This design is a super cute dessert/food pattern haha! Kinda funny to put on your nails but I think it's totally adorable!
This packet comes with 12 decals, in different sizes.

I wasn't exactly sure how to use these, to be honest. It was my first time using water decals!
The back of the packet has some vague instructions so I followed those and tried to remember what I'd heard about water decals from other people's posts.
First I made sure my nails were 100% clean. Then I cut the appliques off of the paper backing and trimmed them to fit my nails.  One strip at a time, I held it with tweezers and dunked it into a bowl of water for about 30 seconds. Then I slid the water decal off the cardboard backing and applied to my nail. I used the little file that came with the appliques to remove the excess from the end of my nail. I found them pretty easy to apply, except that there were a LOT of creases! I tried really hard to get rid of them, and then just gave up and left them a bit crinkled. I applied Seche Vite top coat over my nails and that made most of the creases disappear, but I also smudged the design a bit on some nails.

I'm really happy with the end result, though! I think I did pretty well for never having used water decals before. :) And the food design is soo cute haha. They look much better in real life.
The packaging also claims that these will last up to 7 days with top coat so that's pretty cool. I didn't wear these for too long though so I can't comment on the longevity. I definitely recommend that you do use a top coat with these, or they will probably just fall off when you wash your hands or shower.

I definitely want to try some more full nail water decals, they are really cute! :)

These decals are super cheap at $1.99 for a packet! :) (As I'm writing this they are on sale for $1.55!)
