Born Pretty Store Butterfly and Flower Water Decals Review

In this post, I will be reviewing the butterfly and flower water decals from BornPrettyStore. I have never used full nail water decals before, so I thought I would give them a try. Let's take a look at these decals.

For my first design, I used the black and white decals with pink flowers. To start off, I painted my index and pinky fingers with Sinful Colors Retro Rosie. It is a pretty pink with a holographic shimmer in it. For my middle and ring fingers, I used Funky Fingers Gesso. It is my go-to white. I topped this off with one coat of Seche Vite. Next, I cut out two sections of the pink flower decals. I peeled off the top protective film (don't forget to do this! If you don't peel it off, your decal will not lay flat on your nail), and dropped it in a small cup of water. I let it soak for about 30 seconds or so, pulled it out with my tweezers, and gently used my fingers to slide the decal off the backing. I placed it on my nail, wrapping it around the cuticle area first. I slowly worked my way towards the end of my nail, pulling the decal with my thumb and index finger on my other hand, around my nail. The tip was the hardest because I have curved nails. With some patience, you can get it pretty close. Then I gave it about 30 seconds of heat from my blow dryer on low heat. That sets the decal. Now, I took my clean up brush (I use an ELF concealer brush) and cleaned up my cuticle area with some pure acetone. I worked my way around each side of my nail. For my free edge, I dipped a Q-Tip in some non-acetone polish remover, and wrapped the edges and tip around the free edge of my naiil. Once I am happy with the way the decal is laying, I sealed it in with one coat of Seche Vite. Here is how the first design looks:

 

I really like how this one turned out

For my second design, I painted all my nails except my ring finger with China Glaze Emerald Fitzgerald. On my ring finger, I used Ciate Golden Sands. I topped this off with one coat of Seche Vite. Once my top coat was completely dry, I followed the same steps above, with the butterfly image. I wrapped the butterfly image around my ring finger, and finished it off with another coat of Seche Vite. Here is the second design:

I like this one a lot more than I thought I would. The green matches the butterfly's wings very close

Overall, I like these decals a lot. Some of my nails have a pretty significant curve to them, and I didn't have any trouble getting these decals to lay down on my nails. I would not hesitate to order these again. You can find these decals on the BornPrettyStore website, here. They also have tons of other great nail art supplies.
