OPI Aloha From OPI & Born Pretty Store Water Decals

Happy Saturday! I promised to post this weekend since last weekend kind of slipped away from me. Today I have one of my favorite colors from the OPI Hawaii collection. Here's OPI Aloha From OPI with Born Pretty Store water decals. I loooove this decal design. It's great for if you're on a time crunch for nail art or want a cute pedi, but don't want to do a lot of work. I actually wore this mani as a Gelibility mani a couple weeks ago, but I hated my pics so I did it again and left it as regular polish. I also spent over $200 on gel polish last weekend. I am becoming such a gel polish lover. What is happening to me?!

Born Pretty Store--Gold Arabesque Pattern Water Decals Review

Hey polished pretties! Today I have some Arabesque Pattern water decals from Born Pretty Store to review. They're shiny gold and come on a fairly large sheet. I've used water decals before, and the sheet was probably about half of this size so that was a pleasant surprise. 


To get an idea of how many decals are on here, for 4 nails I used the 2 upper corner designs and had some extra decal leftover. This sheet would last at least a few manicures or to get even more use, pedicures! I don't know about you guys, but I always have designs at least on my big toes so these would be great to jazz up a plain pedicure. 


The base color is Morgan Taylor Candy Coated Coral. 


I really love how beautiful and elegant this manicure turned out with minimal effort. The only thing I had some issue with is that the plastic decal material doesn't melt when you clean up with acetone. To avoid this issue, be careful sizing and cutting the decal before placing it on your nail and make sure it doesn't extend onto your cuticle area. You can purchase these decals here for $4.99. Use my code NV7X31 for 10% off your entire purchase.

Born Pretty Store--Gucci Water Decals Review

Hey lovelies! Today I have Gucci water decals from Born Pretty Store to review. I have never used water decals before, but they were very easy to use and I would definitely try them out again. I used a base color of China Glaze Kalahari Kiss before applying the water decals and topcoat afterwards. I think they came out great for my first time using this type of nail art.





There are 20 decals in the package and directions are included on the back. For the most part, I followed the directions, but instead of transferring them directly from the film onto my nail, I took it off with tweezers and applied to to my nails because then the words would've been backwards otherwise. When I applied topcoat afterwards, a little bit of the pattern started rubbing off so I would apply topcoat with less strokes next time. I really like how these look! They are available here for $3.55.
