Soft Pink Gradient Flower Nail Art

Hi guys! Today I have a nail art look I created with hibiscus flower water decals (item 17643 decal XF1066) that I received from Born Pretty Store for review. I created a soft pink gradient with I Louvre You from FingerPaints nail polish and Careless Whisper from Fair Maiden Polish, and used the decals as accents. Born Pretty Store offers a large variety of nail art items at great prices and worldwide shipping. This is the second item I'm reviewing out of the four I received.

 Let's get started with a small tutorial on how to use the decals.

The decals come in this little package. Paint your nails however you want wait for it to dry. You can topcoat if you want to protect a background design.

Take the decals out of the package and cut around the specific one you want to use.

Remove the plastic sheet that covers the decal and soak it in water for about 30 seconds.

Remove the decal from the water. The decal will easily slide off the paper backing. I use my fingers cause it's easier for me to hold but you can also use tweezers. Make sure your nail polish is dry, moisten it with a little bit of water and place the decal where you desire.

While the surface of your nail is a little moist, it's easy to arrange the decal wherever you want. If you mess it up, just wet your nails a bit again, remove the decal carefully and rearrange. Once you're satisfied, gently blot your nails with a paper towel to dry them and add topcoat.

Here's another look at the finished design. I want to give a shout-out to my friend Karen from Pish Posh Polish for suggesting a soft gradient when I was stumped for ideas. The background is just a simple gradient with I Louvre You from FingerPaints, a bright pink and Careless Whisper from Fair Maiden Polish, a soft baby pink. They both have a similar shimmery glass fleck finish.

Here's a closer look at the two decals I used. Overall I found the decals to be sturdy and really easy to use. I had to re-position the decal on my middle finger several times, and if it started to dry all I had to do was re-wet it and I could slide it around again. Once I topcoated, the decals staid in place and lasted until I removed my manicure.
