Born Pretty Store Water Decal Y026 Review and How To

(Born Pretty Store Water Decal Y026 was sent for review)

I have some water decals from the Born Pretty Store to share today.  I have always admired water decals.  They add so much to a manicure.  I was intimidated to use them; however after trying them for myself I realize they are actually easy to use.  

I chose to review the Classical Flower Vine Pattern Nail Art Water Decals Transfers Sticker in Y026 which had a lot of pretty floral designs.  The back of the package has instructions for applying these decals.  I started by painting my nails with two coats of China Glaze Pool Party over a dry base coat.  When this was completely dry I was ready to apply my water decals.

 

To apply the water decals, I used a bowl with water, scissors, and tweezers. 

• I cut out the designs I wanted then peeled off the plastic covering.
• I then placed the decal into the water and let it sit for about 10-20 seconds.
• Next I moistened the nail I planned on placing the decal on by simply dipping another finger into the water and patting my decal nail.
• I then took the decal out of the water and it slipped off the paper backing. 
• I used tweezers to help me place the decal on my nail. 
• When this was completely dry I added a top coat.  
  

  

  

  

I also tried adding a water decal to my nail by peeling off the plastic covering, placing the decal face down on my nail, and then holding a wet paper towel over it for a few seconds.  This technique also worked on getting the water decal onto my nails.  I found it slightly easier to apply the water decals using the bowl of water rather than a wet paper towel.  

Overall I am really impressed with these water decals.  They are much easier to use then I first thought.  I love the intricate look they added to my manicure.  These water decals lasted a long time.  They lasted longer than my nail polish.  The Born Pretty Store has a whole range of water decals to choose from.  If you like the ones I used today you can find them here.  The Born Pretty Store offers free shipping worldwide and you can use my discount code SNDX31 to get 10% off your order.

Kiss Ever PRO Lash Starter Kit

There was a Kiss Ever Pro Lashes Starter Kit included in the Influenster Beauty Bloggers VoxBox.  I have never tried false eyelashes before so I was a little bit intimidated to try these.  The kit comes with eyelashes, latex-free glue, and an applicator.  This kit also states it is safe to use if you wear contact lenses. 

The box has very good instructions on how to apply the eyelashes.  After trying these, I realized it was a lot easier to apply false eyelashes then I thought it would be.  The glue was very easy to work with.  I also like that there is an applicator.  The applicator reminds me a little bit of plastic tweezers.  The hardest part I had with the whole process was placing the eyelashes on my lids.  The kit states that you can reuse these lashes, so after I applied the eyelashes the first time, I reapplied them to adjust where I had placed them.  In the end I think I could have put the eyelashes closer towards the inner part of my eyelids, but I was really impressed with how easy applying these eyelashes turned out to be. 

Kiss Ever Pro Lashes Starter Kit sells for $4.99.  You can find this kit at Walgreens.  You can also visit the Kiss website here.
