DIY Nail Art Decals Using a Printer

DIY Nail Art Decals Using a Printer! You can make ANY design you like :) Materials: - Inkjet printer - Photo editing software - Topcoat - White nail polish - Clear coat spray (any brand) from your local hardware store - Clear "water slide" decal paper The paper I bought from Ebay: http://bit.ly/11xVeuY You can find it on Etsy as well: http://www.etsy.com/listing/100355731 Directions: 1. In your photo software, resize your desired image to fit your nail (I made my images ¼" wide to fit my nail beds) 2. Print on normal paper first to test out the size & resolution 3. Once image is good, print your images on water decal paper 4. When your ink is dry, seal with 2 thin coats of clear coat spray. Let dry 5. Cut out your images carefully and leave as little space as you can between the edge and the image 6. To make the decal stand out, paint your nails white and let dry 7. Dip the decals in water for a few seconds 8. Gently slide the decal off the paper and apply them to a wet nail to easily slide it into position. (You can dab it with tissue to soak up any extra water after the placement is finalized.) 9. Then seal with topcoat!
