Zoya Lake and Born Pretty Store Dandelion Water Decals

*decals provided for an honest review*
*polishes were purchased*

Hello my sweet friends!  Today I have some very easy nail art to share from Born Pretty Store and a color I purchased from Zoya's newest transitional collection, Whispers.  I love dandelions in nail art and I'm so excited I get to rock them in the easiest way possible!


Born Pretty Store was nice enough to send me a few items to review, and share my honest thoughts on.  The first item I chose were these adorable water decals in different whispy dandelion patterns.  This was my first ever experience with water decals, and they were so easy to use!  These are the Flying Dandelion design (item 20604) and they're under $2.00!!


For this look I used Lake from the new Zoya collection, Whispers.  I think I preordered this set the day it can out.  All these dusty pastels speak to me and I can't say no to them.  Lake is a very greyed out blue with just a tiny tinge of green to it.  This was 2 coats with a very nice formula.  Once Lake was dry, I used the water decal as an accent and later used OPI Pirouette My Whistle as a pinky accent.


The designs in the Born Pretty decal sheet are very detailed and sharp and I love that you get single designs + whole nail options.
To use them, I cut out the flower design I wanted and dipped it in warm water for about 15 seconds with tweezers.  The design slid right off the backing and I smoothed in place with a damp fingertip.  Let it dry for 1-2 minutes then topcoated it.  Super easy!
I highly recommend these and will definitely be using them in lots of Spring manis!


Shade - Lake leans so pretty in the shade :)

Spring Fling Challenge Day 4: Bunnies!!

 
 Time for cute overload. I'm just gearing you all up so you are smiling when you see my attempt at nail art. And I'm going to apologize now for the state of my cuticles. I need to do something, just haven't had the time! Without further ado CUTE BUNNIES!!

Are you smiling yet? I hope so! Well on to what you came for, my bunny mani! For this day of the challenge I just kept thinking about those fluffy little bunny tails for some reason, so that is what I decided to try! I give you: Bunny Bums....


For this look I used Essie St. Lucia Lilac as the underwear and then I used my new Lynnderella Sugar Bunny on top. To create the Bunny Bums I used Essie Chinchilly and Sinful Colors Snow Me White. To create the shapes I used my dotting tools. I also used a coat of Seche to smooth the glittered nails a bit. I've never used it before and I've heard it is the quickest drying top coat so I thought I'd give it a try. Patience is not one of my virtues!
