I happen to have some water decals laying around so I thought I would give it a try. I had two issues when I did this. 1) I accidentally folded my decal when I was sliding it off of its backing and 2) the design is small and intricate so I was having a hard time keeping in the lines. Originally I was going to do this design/technique and do two accent fingers my mid and ring fingers but I ended up with doing just my ring finger because I was getting frustrated. Here is what I ended up with…
I used Sinful Colors Endless Blue which I am endlessly in love with for all but my accent finger. For my hand painted water decal I used a variety of Sinful Colors, Zoya, and OPI nail polishes. The dominant yellow polish behind the water decal is Sinful Colors Let's Meet, I love how it sparkles. Both of the Sinful Colors are from the Chill Out collection which I swatched recently you can check them out here.
The water decal I used is Item #8116 pattern D211 in black from bornprettystore.com. Don't forget to use coupon code: CREATEX31 for 10% off your next purchase.
This didn't come out as grand as I was hoping but it doesn't look half bad either. I think the next time I try this technique I will do it with a less complicated decal to make it much easier on myself than maybe I won't have so many issues.
