Nail Delights - Full Nail Decals

Now, i dont even know how i stumbled upon this website, but i use it almost religiously.


I think its because if you spend over £10 you get free delivery - which always makes me buy more than i intended. They have everything on there from tools to gems. One of the first things i ever brought from them were nail water decals 


In a time before nail wraps and stickers these were a lifesaver, and i honestly think i still prefer them to wraps etc. Nail wraps tend to warp and crinkle. These do crinkle but you can fold down the crinkle to make a smooth surface.


They come exactly the way they are pictured above. The best way to describe them is those transfer tattoo's we all had when we were younger (if you didn't have any, you obviously didn't have a childhood). Here's how to apply them:

  1. Cut them roughly to size
  2. Run them gently under a tap
  3. At this point i usually quickly apply some clear polish to help them stick better
  4. Put them onto your nail and hold them there for about a minute or two  
  5. Once all the nails are completed, apply some clear polish 
  6. Then like you would with nail wraps, use a small amount of nail glue on the tips.
Tip: do them one at a time. I know its time consuming, but its so worth it to not screw them up.

So heres a picture from when i did them last year for my holiday


Katy Perry is also a fan (so you know they're a trend)


I also tried nail delights version of these

(sorry for the dodgy picture)

Everyone A lot of people complimented me. They last for ages, and are really striking. Sometimes instead of using the clear polish to make them stick, i use a white polish to make the slightly paler colours pop.
