This week I made a nail art design with nail decals from Glam at heart x Very important pixels . Those decals are a simple way to add some figures or drawings onto your nails. The drawings on those decals are mini-portraits from celebrities like Karl Lagerfeld, David Beckham, Will Smit, Tom Cruise, Kim Kardashian and many more.
For this design I picked a neutral nail polish because the decals are so fussy and colorful. I polished my nails using ‘did you ‘ear about van Gogh’ from OPI. Since I wasn’t going to put a decal on my pinky finger, I polished it in ‘Kitty white’ from OPI. This color has some glitters in it which adds that little extra! :-)
The decals were just cut out, only the ones I was going to use. Then I picked one up with tweezers and put it in a cup with water for about 10 seconds. Then you can easily slide of the drawing and put them on your nail. It’s a little work to put them straight and on the right place without folding them or leaving air underneath them. Then finish with a top coat and ready!

The result is better than I expected, I was thinking maybe the decals would be too square for on my nails. On the other hand, they were harder to apply than I assumed they would be. In the end I’m happy with the result and the nail art design. I’d use nail decals again, definitely when I see some other nice looking ones!
