Nautical nails

May 08, 2017

Hi everyone!

Today I am showing you a very simple nail art that I created with some water decals and Catrice ICONails Mint Map (no. 14) nail polish. Theme is nautical as you can see.

As I’ve said, this is a very easy to create mani. I put some decals from Bornprettystore in water and sticked them to my nails. Then I cleaned up the excess on my fingers with a q-tip dabbed in acetone.

My issue with water decals is sticking them without creating ridges. I found out that patting with a sponge or blotting paper helps. I used some toilet paper and it actually worked!

Photo is without top coat. I added Essence Gel Look XXXL afterwards. That one never smears my nail arts.

Thumbs up for these water decals by Bornpretty. They are only 99cent and oh so pretty! But then again, I have lived by the sea for my whole life so I am really weak when it comes to anything nautical or beach etc!

I hope you like today’s mani even if it is so simple!

      Não me dou bem com esses decalques de água.
      Mas achei que ficou muito bonito viu.

      I am getting better with them, it's not easy at first!
