Orly Nail Lacquer in Gumdrop and Nail Art Water Tattoos



I bought these super cute nail art water tattoos on Ebay for cheap. Each packet has 20 water tattoos, and I got 20 packets with different designs (mostly dainty flowers) for only $13 including shipping. I don't like the regular decals that you can buy at beauty supply stores because they are thick and are raised when you apply them on the nails. I like images that are completely flat on the nails like Konad nail art. These nail art water tattoos are not only flat, they're so easy to apply; yes, even easier than Konad. At the back of every packet are instructions on how you apply them:



Easy as pie, right? It is actually very easy to apply. As long as the image is wet, you can manipulate it over the nail to place it on your desired position. Using a tissue or paper towel, soak up the excess water on the nailbed, then blow dry it to weld it on the nail bed. I applied Seche Vite top coat over the water tattoo and it's perfect!



I love it. The best part is that it's completely flat and not annoyingly raised!







I used my new Orly nail lacquer in Gumdrop from Orly's new spring 2010 collection (the Sweet Collection). I bought this at my neighborhood nail supply store for only $3. They're so cheap I bought the entire collection! More swatches of the Orly Sweet Collection in an upcoming entry. I used Konad m73 image plate and China Glaze polish in Passion.
