Viva La Nails Stickers Demonstration and Review (Pic Heavy)
About a month ago I was sent a batch of nail art goodies from the lovely people at Viva La Nails. As I said at the time I am going to review each type of decoration individually so I am going to start with in my opinion the easiest embellishment - stickers :) I was kindly sent one packet of nail stickers in a cute, slightly 3D flower / daisy design
As I say I think stickers are one of the easiest places to start when it comes to nail art as you can see here
* First of all carefully peel the sticker from the sheet - I am using tweezers here but you could use an orange stick or cuticle tool
* Carefully place the sticker onto a dry nail - they are pretty sticky so make sure you get your positioning right
* Repeat process till you have finished all your nails or your design
* Paint a top coat over the design and your whole nail - to seal the sticker and to create a smoother surface (I used Jessica Brilliance -review to come)
* Voila my finished design on top of Milani 3D Holographic Nail Lacquer in Cyberspace
I have to say I really liked these the really give a bit of interest to just a normal manicure - You do have to be a bit careful when your peeling them off the sheet and when your placing them, and you have to keep applying top coat every couple of days but other than that they are really easy to use and I have had loads of nice comments whilst wearing them.
I had a little play trying them on different designs, placements and colours and as you can see you can create quite a subtle effect or something which will standout a bit more
Sorry toe shot and the bad paint job ;) this gives a tip effect to my tootsies on top of Nails Inc Instyle Beach
As an accent on my little fingers using Mavala Nicosia
Over Butter London Jelly in Twee as a thumb nail accent
and finally over a french shade Eyeko Petite Polish on all my nails
I've been pretty basic here but I hope you get the idea - I think these are a great idea for holidays, especially on the toes and for days when your polish just looks a bit boring. I will definitely be picking up some more of these - they come in loads of different designs including coloured stickers. Christmas, metallics and more. They are available from Viva La Nails for around £1.95 -My next Viva La Nails review will be water decals so keep checking back for that xx
(I was kindly sent this product for review purposes but that hasn't affected my review in anyway)
