Nail Art Water Transfers

A while ago while trawling the internet for anything nail art related, I came across water transfers. I initially thought that they would be a lot like foil wraps, which I have tried before and found hard to use and wasn't overwhelmed with the finished look of them. This put me off slightly, but after reading through the instructions of how to use them they sounded simple enough and they were reasonably priced so I thought I would try them out.


They arrived in a sheet like this, which you then cut up into separate images. Once they are ready to go on your nails, the white around the images becomes transparent so you don't have to worry about cutting them exactly, and you can put them onto any colour nail polish you want.


Using tweezers, put the transfer into some water making sure that the whole image is submerged and hold in for 30 - 60 seconds.


When you take them out of the water, the image will separate from the white backing paper. Pick up the transfer with the tweezers and place on your nail. Dab the transfer down onto the nail to make it flat and to get rid of any excess water.


Repeat this for all nails, or just leave as one accent nail. You then need to apply a clear top coat over the transfer to seal them onto your nails.

They're super easy to use and leave a professional looking finish. Also, they come in almost any design you can think of so will suit whatever look you're going for!
