Nautical Nails: Born Pretty Store Water Decals

Searching through my blog archives, it seems the last time I played with water decals was almost 3 years ago. This is funny to me because I think I actually prefer water decals over nail stickers... guess I've been a bit lazy in terms of my nail art these past few years!

When Born Pretty Store asked me if I wanted to try out some of their products, I thought it would be a great time to re-introduce water decals to my mani routine. I ended up selecting this compass, chain, and anchor pattern ($2.86 USD for a sheet).

Base Colour: Ceramic Glaze in Santorini Blue

What I love about water decals is that they're super easy to use. As you can see from the instructions on the back of the packaging, you just plunge them into water for 10-20 seconds to loosen them from the sheet before applying to your nails.

The designs are on clear bases so you can cut the decals smaller and place them in whatever design you desire. You can also layer them if you're feeling creative. Since my nails are short, I ended up cutting the decals to fit and rearranging their orientation a bit. In the end I was left with these fun nautical nails. So cute, right?

If you'd like to try these, or any other nail art supplies, for yourself, Born Pretty Store has kindly given me a coupon code to share. Use ASONG10 for 10% off all your purchases (an extra bargain since the water decals are all under $5 already). Plus, there's free shipping worldwide!
