Applying full cover decals with a nail stamper helps a lot with avoiding air bubbles and creases on the edges. If you're using smaller decals, it also helps you to see and line up exactly where you want the decal to be. :)

Love this video! Straight to the point and very detailed 😊 thank you

Thank you for doing this this is the most helpful video on KZread I have found for decals

I love it, looks amazing 👏

Whelp that was satisfying 😋

THANK YOU 🙏🏻 u just saved my life hehe

Lol this came at the right time! I just finished watching the decal video. Thank you for sharing!

Your videos have been helpful, thank you! Can you please show a tutorial on applying these to a practice hand as well?

Great video! Thank you! How do you get it to not peel or chip in chunks after a few days?

I just bought some and couldn't get them to stick guess I'm not letting them get wet enough! Thanks for this it was awesome

I have terrible trouble getting a decal to lay correctly because of the curve of my nails. I’ll try your technique for applying next time to see if it helps.

I literally just came across your page researching this... and I must say you are one funny nail tech! I love it & thanks for this ❤️❤️

What top coat for paper did u use?

Hi! You are awesome with your videos! Thank you so much! Just curious, what do you use for a base color if your wrap is multicolored? Or do you use white base color and do a clear decal instead?

@SadlerUpNails

3 жыл бұрын

If the decal is on transparent paper you need to use a white or very light base. If they are on white decal paper your base can be any colour.

You’re saying it correctly, decal (the 1st. One you said 😉

Will a hairdryer help “shrink” it to the nail or na?

Where can I get some of these decals? Theses look 👏🏼

Do you have a video on how you make and seal your decals?

I got my decals in yesterday that I ordered from you. I am in love. I’ve never used any decals before and I don’t even plan on trying out from anywhere else but you. They were so easy to use. And they turned out great. I’ve only applied the Selena decals but I can’t wait to use the others 😊. Thank you for this video

Great video! Do you think regular nails need to be buffed?

@erikajohnson743

Yeah I would definitely do regular nail prep on natural nails before the basecoat step. The oils in our nails cause lifting for the products your decal is going on top of.

Enjoy the video i haven’t used decoys yet but just order some for black history month im excited

wait you didn't talk about curing the waterslide decals. At what point do you have to cure? And for how long?

What can I put on my E-fille to make the sides smooth? The buffing block works its just really tiring when I'm doing a lot of nails. I think putting something on the efile will be easier for me.

@SadlerUpNails

I agree. I’m not familiar with e-files though so I cannot recommend what bit to use.

Your videos are very good. Thank you for sharing. I'm a retired nail pro of 40+ years and and one of the original Minx nail educators. So here are my techniques for no creasing. 2 ways to apply . Begin by applying the wrap at the tip of the nail laying it down from center to outer edges until you have covered the nail. This way you can work the crease out as you apply. This is the best method for nails that have more curve, Another easy way is to snip cuts into outer sides of decal a little before application. btw your nails are beautifully done.

How would you apply these to a nail that is on a hand already?

How would you apply a full wrap to a natural nail? I can’t file the cuticle and sidewall area to seal it when it’s on the nail attached to a finger lol

I am with you on deeecal.

So i followed your steps to making them and i love it thank you! My question is i see you tug a bit and stretch it how do you keep from ripping it? Mine rip if i do that? Am i not spraying them enough? I have the same paper and same spray i would love to know what I’m doing wrong. Especially with the few wrinkles when i try to work them out it rips 🤦‍♀️

Hey, does you base coat has a sticky layer? And do you remove the sticky layer before you put the water decal on your nails? Tfs!

@SadlerUpNails

2 жыл бұрын

Yes it has a sticky layer which is what you stick the decal to. Do not remove the sticky layer.

How do you apply this onto an actual nail? Not a press on. I’m having trouble tearing off the excess decal. I tried using rubbing alcohol and a small brush but it just makes the decal latexy.

Cut it to the shape of the nail first then use a cuticle safety bit on an e-file to carefully remove excess at the edges.

How do you file downwards on a client around their cuticle

@SadlerUpNails

8 ай бұрын

On a client try to cut the decal to fit the nail first. Then I would use a bit of acetone on a detail brush to remove the excess decal.

I use foil glue to stick on the decals but i can’t smooth out the tiny ridges on the nails 😩

the nail came out so nice! but that was a lot of the decal going to waste it was so cringe🤣😂 cant you just cut off only what you need from the decal & use that? & was the white nail polish as the base color necessary since the decal has a white backing already or?

I'm having a hard time with it wrinkling on me

I watched this video but wasn't sure if I watched the video on how to make decals. Turns out I did. But I didn't watch the video on how to make the foil decals. So if you're monitoring your KZread channel and wondering who is going through your videos? It's me! Lol! I have been wondering if I could print my name on a decal and have the decal, of course, put on a nail? But I didn't know it it was possible? Or if I'd either have to buy a nail art brush kit to write my name on a nail? Or order nails from some very kind person who understands that my name isn't common and I never see it as an option to have it on a keychain or anything in a store. But I just wanted the option of having my name on my nails. Well actually going down the length of just one accent nail. So don't mind me. I'm just trying to figure it out.
