Nicole Diary water decal review

*press sample*

Hi all!

A while back I got an e-mail asking me if I'd like to review Nicole Diary water decals. As you might know, I love water decals, so obviously I said yes. Nicole Diary let me choose 5 different designs and sent those to me to try. First of all, these water decals are a lot larger than the ones I was used to, so they will fit longer nails. For a comparison check out my Instagram page here. The water decals work the same as any other water decal I have used. You cut out the individual pieces, soak them in water for approximately 15 seconds and then slide them off the backing paper.

Personally, I love using water decals for accent nails, but you can use them for a full mani as well. I've got two mani's to show you today, which have been lurking in the vault since June....

Polishes:

• China Glaze - 1152 Sunday Funday
• Essence - 33 wild white ways
• Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

Base: 2 coats of Sunday Funday for my solid coloured nails or 1 coat of Wild white ways underneath the water decals. I really like this floral design (design 30), it's so detailed, I couldn't free hand a design like this. That's why I love water decals, you can wear intricate designs without a lot of hassle. Topped it all with Elemental Ward.

Just look at those fine lines!

And my second mani:

Polishes:

• I Love Nail Polish - Mutagen
• Barry M - Gelly - GNP28 Coconut
• Lucky 13 Lacquer - Elemental Ward

Base: 2 or 3 coats of Mutagen or one coat of Coconut. These water decals (design 28) have a creamy background of their own, so they are not translucent like a lot of water decals. I didn't know this before I painted a base of Coconut though... Added a frond with Coconut on one of my Mutagen nails to fit in with the floral/leave theme of the decals. Sealed it all in with Elemental Ward.

Again... just look at that detail ♥.

I'm very impressed with these water decals. The size is great, they are easy to work with and I love the designs.
