Home-made decals: Honeycomb

...I like to play with my nails... :-) My favourite manicures are free-hand nail art manicures, but I also like to try other things like tape manicure, flocking powder, water decals... :-)

The manicure Honeycomb that I published yesterday was made directly on my nails, using normal dotting tools. :-)

Then I got the idea to try to make some honeycomb decals :-)
Somebody could think: "Why should I make decals if I can do this manicure directly on my nails?" 

Well, I don't know if it happens to you, but sometimes when I finish my manicure and I'm satisfied with the result, I still have many ideas in my head and I still have the wish to play with my nail polishes. Maybe this inspiration could be used to make some home-made decals :-) 

You could make them and save them for those days when you don't have so much free time and you still want a nice manicure... which you can make really quickly using your decals that you prepared days or weeks ago :-) 

Or, you can make them and give them as a gift to somebody... :-)

So, I present to you my first home-made decals and a little tutorial :-)





You just need to apply one normal layer of top coat on your nail, place the decal on, adjust it as you like and then finish with final layer of top coat.

What do you think about my home-made honeycomb decals? :-)

  1. Di tanto in tanto lo faccio anch'io! :) è comodo quando non si è bravissime nel disegno, basta avere il disegno-guida sotto la pellicola trasparente.. L'accent della manicure che porto in questi giorni è fatto proprio così (se mi decidessi a finirle farei la foto..)! Ma tu sei talmente brava da non avere bisogno di questi aiutini!

  6. UAU, NORO DOBRA IDEJA!!! Kapo dol, tole se pa res splača za tiste, ki nismo tako natančne, kot ti - če kiksnem, lahko naredim novo "nalepko" in ne uničim manikure spodaj. To bom pa definitivno preskusila!!! HVALA!!! =))

    1. A da napravim ja malo nekih cvetica pa da ti ih posaljem, da imas cime da se igras kada budes raspolozena za igranje? Samo, posto imas "mini" nokte onda moram da napravim i mini nalepnice! :-)

  9. Wonderful tutorial :-D
    I love this method. It's so each and simple, and because it is made with the top coat, when you put that layer of top coat on your nail, it makes your decal's background disappear completely! Brilliant!!!
