Hello everybody!
Today I would like to show you a colourful nail art for summer!
I recently received some items from
Born Pretty Store. They were so kind to let me chose some items and send me some samples to try.
I choose a
peacock pattern water decals and some
triangle nail art decorations. (click on name for the link). I think these two items match perfectly for a nail art.

It was my fist time with water decals but I can say these were pretty easy to use.
The waterdecals are protected by a trasparent sheet. You can select the size and the design you want, cut it with a scissor. Don't forget to remove the plastic sheet.
Now you can plunge it into water and wait for 10-20 seconds.
The design will separate from the paper, and it's ready to use.
The instructions suggest to place it on the nail and blow dry. (I skipped the last part because it's very hot today and the design dried fast). The last step is to secure it with clear nail polish.
You can cover the whole nail but i decided to do something more creative.
I used a white nail polish as base and I applied the decals vertically or across the nail leaving some space and adding a gold sand effect nail polish (from Essence).
The design is beautiful, there are some peacock feather, a colorful and iridescent plumage, and the main colour are light blue and yellow. The design it's perfect and you can't achieve this detailed drawing with stamping or free hand.
On two nails I used white, yellow and light blue and I added some decorations.
These decoration are very particular, they are triangular and have a delicate texure. I like it in golden but you can find them in silver too. You can apply them with a dotting tool and some clear nail polish used as glue. They are quite small so they stay well on nails.
Let me know what you think!
Thanks for reading!
Laura
