When I discovered these nail art cheat sheets, I squealed out loud. Not only are they super cute, but they seemed to be foolproof even for someone as novice as me.
Let me be frank. I’m terrible at doing my own nails.
I don’t have any fancy nail tools. I don’t push back my cuticles. I don’t use a tiny makeup brush to clean up the edges. I just paint my nails. Plain and simple.
When I want a fun pop, I go for a bold color. And now, I have these cheat sheets!
Here’s a breakdown of what you get:
- 425 stickers for $18. I love the protection eyes most, but the leopard spots, kiss faces and geometric shapes are awesome too.
- Most shapes come in black and white so you can use them with dark or light nail polish colors.
- They are SUPER substantial. i.e. they look like real nail polish. There’s dimension to them – they’re embossed.
There is an art to applying these for which I learned the hard way. The first time I tried putting them on, my nails were only 80% dry. I HATE waiting for my nails to dry and always rely on my topcoat to do the drying for me. Since you can’t apply a topcoat until after you’ve applied these stickers, I was kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I wish I would have waited for my nails to fully dry. I wasted 4 stickers because I couldn’t press them on firmly enough with semi-wet nails.
PRO TIP: wait for your nails to FULLY dry before applying. You need to press each sticker firmly onto your nail and then finish with a topcoat for them to stay put.
I love this 9-free, vegan nail polish brand. It’s women-owned and their colors are fabulous. Wearing the color Buff here.
