They are super holo and shiny!
For my first design, I painted all my nails with one coat of white. Then I used Sinful Colors Pink Smart. I used 3 thin coats to make this polish look even and opaque. I topped that with Seche Vite. Next, I put on the nail vinyls. Once I had the vinyls on, I painted my nails black.
I peeled the vinyl off my pinky and sealed it in with one coat of Seche Vite. Then decided I should take a picture before I peeled them all off. The vinyls were a tad too short for my nails, so I carefully continued the line to my cuticle as evenly as I could.
Once I peeled all the vinyls off, I sealed the rest of the nails with Seche Vite. Here is how they look:
These vinyls were pretty easy to peel off, they didn't leave any sticky residue, and the lines seemed to be pretty crisp
Once that was completely dry, I painted my nails with a matte gel top coat from Born Pretty Store (I never did a review on this top coat, but WOW! It is my new go-to matte top coat. My nails looked so smooth, soft, and almost looked like velvet. Even my husband commented on how matte and amazing they looked). You can find that matte top coat on Born Pretty's website here (5mL)and here (10mL). Here is how my nails look now:
Nothing says fall like a deep red matte :)
I have always wanted to try doing a design with matte and glossy top coats. I thought these vinyls were the perfect opportunity to try it. I placed the vinyl in the center of my nail, painted clear polish over it, and peeled the vinyl off. I like the way it looks, but I think I need to use a different clear polish or top coat. I think the one I used was a bit too thin. Here is my final look:
Overall, I really like these vinyls. They are pretty thin. I struggled at first getting them off the backing, but with a little patience and some pointy tweezers, they came right off. The only other issue I had was some of my nails have a decent curve to them. It took me a couple tries to get the vinyl to lay down flat enough that the polish wouldn't run under it. But again, with a little bit of patience, it wasn't a huge issue at all. I would defintely buy these in more designs (they have a bunch!) Some of the designs were pretty unique, which i really liked about them. The set I got included 5 different sheets. You can find this set on the BornPrettyStore website here.
