Instructions for Applying Waterslide Nail Decals
Materials Needed:
- Waterslide nail decals
- Small bowl of water
- Tweezers
- Scissors
- Clear base coat (normal or UV gel)
- Clear top coat (normal or UV gel)
- Silicone stamper
- UV/LED lamp (if using UV gel)
- Paper towel or tissue
- Gloves
- Nail file and buffer
Steps:
1. Wear Gloves:
- Put on gloves to protect your skin from chemicals and to prevent oils or dirt from transferring to the nails or decals during application.
2. Prepare Your Nails:
- Start with clean, dry nails. Remove any old polish and ensure your nails are free of oils and debris.
- Apply a clear base coat to your nails. You can use either a normal base coat or a UV gel base coat. If using UV gel, cure under a UV/LED lamp according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the base coat is sticky or tacky for better decal adhesion.
3. Cut Out the Decal:
- Carefully cut out the desired decal from the sheet using scissors. Trim as close to the design as possible to minimize excess film.
4. Soak the Decal:
- Place the cut-out decal into a small bowl of water with the design side facing up. The decal should float on the surface. Let it soak for about 10-20 seconds or until the backing paper begins to slide off. Avoid getting water on the actual image to prevent damage.
5. Prepare the Decal for Application:
- Using tweezers, carefully pick up the decal and place it face up onto a paper towel. Allow the backing paper to dry for a few seconds.
6. Transfer the Decal:
- Place the decal face down onto the silicone stamper. Gently slide the backing paper off while ensuring the decal remains smooth and flat on the stamper.
7. Apply the Decal:
- Press the silicone stamper with the decal onto your nail, transferring the decal from the stamper to your nail.
8. Let It Set:
- After pressing the decal onto your nail, let it sit undisturbed for a minute. Handling the decal while it’s still wet can cause it to shift or become damaged.
9. Smooth the Decal:
- Once the decal has set for a minute, gently smooth it with your finger to ensure it adheres properly and any wrinkles are eliminated.
10. Apply Base Coat and Buffer:
- Apply a clear base coat over the entire nail to seal and smooth the decal. If using a normal base coat, let it dry completely. If using UV gel, cure it under a UV/LED lamp according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Use a nail buffer to gently smooth the surface of the decal, blending it seamlessly with your natural nail.
11. Apply Top Coat:
- Apply a clear top coat over the entire nail to protect the decal and add shine. If using a normal top coat, let it dry completely. If using UV gel, cure it under a UV/LED lamp according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Pro Tips:
- Work on one nail at a time to prevent the decals from drying out before application.
- Ensure your base coat and top coat are completely dry before moving to the next step for a smooth application.
- Never wet the actual image to avoid damage.
- If you’re new to waterslide decals, practice with my logos first to avoid wasting decals.
