Fyi, the skull designs are not a Halloween design, they are Dìa de los Muertos design. The two holidays are often incorrectly conflated but they are very different.

If im doing dip nails what liquid do i pot on top of the decal? Im new at this but i did buy some decals for fall. Im not sure what a "rubber" coat is. Thanks

@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie

Жыл бұрын

I don't have a lot of experience with dip nails. My experience with them is that gel polish didn't like to stay stuck to it so I would cover the water decals with regular nail varnish topcoat. Rubber top coat is just a thicker rubber like gel topcoat.

Do you think the jelly stamp method would work better for putting them onto natural fresh painted nails? I find them so fiddly to place especially looking at my own nails upside down wondering if this would help. Thanks

Hello! I have a question about water decals. I've been storing all my decals in a business card holder. I know each sheet has a protective piece of plastic on the front, but on some of my water decals this protective sheet has fallen off. When I tried to remove the water decal sheet - the decals were stuck to the plastic in the business card holder. How do I prevent this? Once the protective sheet falls off the water decal paper - it's not possible to reattach it.

I don't know. That hasn't happened to mine, I keep them in a similar book, but it's for photos so might be a bit looser.

I've got 50 sheets of these all individuals but one which is lace but is there a way I can cut it so I dont waste it like follow the pattern or cut it to the nail size? Also do I have to keep the plastic on there after I use the sheet or are they perfectly fine without it I don't keep water near them as in a tin in a plastic resealable jewelry bag x

@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie

3 жыл бұрын

I'm not really sure about not wasting the lace one. You'll just have to cut out as much as you need to cover the nail and make the most of whatever is left. You could always do like a half cover lace effect with a striping tape to section it off from the plain part of the nail. If you keep them safe, you can just bin the plastic lining. Any moisture and they may stick to each other though xo

It shouldn't smear your design even if you go over it straight away. Some decals are if poor quality and will do that though. Or if you are using a regular varnish topcoat, that can happen. Or a matte gel topcoat sometimes will do that depending on the brand. If you're using a gel topcoat and it's smearing, try a different kind of decal, or try going over with a gel basecoat and cure it before topcoating ☺️
