Bloody Roses Water Decal Nail Art BLE1770

It was my friend's wedding, so how can I miss the chance of glamoring up?  I feel like I haven't dressed up for a long time.  There really is no reason for me to dress up anymore.  I work and go home, work and go home, work and go home....no one cares how I look at work and no one cares how I look at home.  I only dress a little better or I should say a little more formal when I am out to meet a client, but that doesn't count as glamoring up as I won't put glitter on myself and definition not going to wear a puffy dress for it.  So, on my friend's big day, I finally get to dig out my 5 inch stilettos, puffy black dress and an over exaggeratedly bling necklace.  And of course, I need some classy looking nails to go with the look.  

Polishes I used from left to right:

Sally Hansen Triple Strong Strengthener 

Quo Natural Beauty

Quo Sweet Revenge

Étude House #BK801

Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat

This is the decal I used for this nail art.  Looks place, but do some mix and matches with nail polish, rhinestones and decal and there's another complicated looking manicure that's actually quite effortless.

First, I painted 2 coats of the base color.  For my ring finger, I used the Etude House polish and it dries very fast with a leather finish.

I love how opaque the Etude House polish is and the glitter shows up very well.

When the base color has dried, scrunch up a piece of plastic wrap into a ball and use it to dab some red on the index and pinky finger.

After everthing is dried, cut out the image you need.

Soak the image in a bowl of room temperature water.

The image will slide off the paper by now.

Then just arrange it on your nails and dab away the excess water with a tissue.

After arranging all the decals on your nails, apply a layer of top coat to seal in the design.
