🔥 nail art veteran's gel decals survival guide
Sisters!Have you guys ever tried to apply flowers at 3am with a YouTube tutorial, only to end up with a gluey abstract painting?When I touched the Bow Tie/ Bear/ Flower Nail Art at the Seattle Nail Show last year, I suddenly realized that the ultimate meaning of gel decals is to "beat magic with magic"!
💡The Three Laws of Decals
First of all, let's talk about a cold knowledge: there is a treasure of "Butterfly, Fire & Star Nail Stickers" in the DOWN TO $0.99 SALE section!Remember to use "Lace Patterns - Nail Stamping Plate" as the base and two thin coats of "Poly Gel Slip Solution Kit" as the invisible cloak.This "cheat" will make the decal last longer than the predecessor promised!
⚠️ Warning: Don't be fooled by names like "Ultimate Elegant"!The last time I used his 8-color adhesive base, I realized "this flower is clearer than my life plan".The point is to dip a toothpick into the Little Witch mini can of clear glue and trace the breathing slits around the edges of the petals - get it?
👉 It takes pain to know the truth!
Have you noticed?" Tempting Candy" gel and gel decals are the killer CP! Body temperature makes the color change from cherry blossom pink to haze blue, and then stick the metallic flakes - man!The whole nail surface looks like a "dynamic blur filter" has been applied .My last client said , "This is more eye-catching than my Tinder profile"!
🎨Appliqué Quantum Entanglement Experiment
Have you ever used "Honeydew Green" gel as a canvas?Use tweezers to crush "Purple Shiny Diamond Glitter" and sprinkle it in the cracks of the decal to create a "broken star effect" under the light!The secret is to sprinkle the powder quickly when the UV light shines for the 3rd second, this "time crime" operation can increase the sparkle by 200%!
Seriously, the nude colors in the Job Interview series are perfect for playing "camouflage"!I put a miniature rose on "24PCS 14 Sizes Nude with White Line", and from a distance, I thought it was a regular French, but up close, I realized is a "good guy!Game of Thrones on fingernail caps" .
💣 First aid kit for decal flips
Let me show you how to do it: when the edge of the decal is buckling, mix "Angel's Wings" with"Ice Blue Glitter" to make a flowable adhesive and pour it along the cracks - instantly transforming it into "Intentionally designed beauty of the broken"!The trick is known in New Yorker circles as the "Intentionally Designed Tattered Beauty"!It's called "F**k Up Chic" in New Yorker circles , and the fee can go up by 20 bucks!
A final word: the true meaning of gel decals is "three parts technique, seven parts acting"!The next time a client complains about asymmetrical decals, just say , "It's an homage to Monet's impressionistic aesthetic".Remember, if you look confident enough, a manicure knife can sell like a scalpel!
