Easy How to Chevron Nail art with Homemade Water Decals

Hi everbody :)

So today we are going to do a Chevron nail art design with water decals.

I think the chevron design is SO beautiful, but so difficult to do with a striper. So I made the design on my computer, bought some clear water slide decal paper from ebay and that made it so much easier to do and very beautiful.

The tutorial is also on Youtube - for easy follow:

Tutorial on how to do this design:

Getting the designs ready for the nails.

1. Buy decal paper online or local store
2. Download the file I've put on here - and print it on normal paper first to check if the size fits your nails. 
3. Then print the design on the decal paper 
4. Cover the designs with clear nail polish and let it dry- IMPORTANT

Creating the design:

1. Apply a base coat to protect the natural nail.
2. Apply your base color - I chose a dark grey/ blue-ish color on mine and a silver metallic color for the ring finger. Let them dry completely.  
3. Soak the decals in water for 20-30 sec
4. Slide them of the paper with your fingers 
5. Place a drop of water on the nails, you want to place the decal on - this makes it easier to navigate it on to the right place. 
6. Use a cotton ball to dry the decal, once it's where you want it to be - and let it dry.
7. Place a drop of top coat onto your pinky and pointer and place a rhinestone on top 
8. Apply a quick drying top coat to seal in the design  

And you're done :)

The design is for personal use only. A4
