I used to love buying nail decals and 3d nail stickers because they were such an easy way to jazz up a plain nail polish job. I just learned a way to make your own home nail decals & wanted to share with you!

It's an awesome alternative to doing hand-painted nail art on your nails. You can work on a flat surface instead of on your nails & you don't have problems with applying on your dominant hand! So your left hand & right hand nails will be equally neat :)

finally ask that everyone who likes my blog content to follow me, so I know that there are people who like ^ ^

Check it out! All you need are your nail polishes and a sandwich bag!



Just start drawing on your sandwich bag with your nail polishes. use whatever tools you would typically use to achieve the details, like striper brushes, toothpicks etc.




I decided to start with simple hearts & just doodled more things on the sheet as I went.





eventually I started drawing sanrio characters. haha




A helpful tip that I learned was to do a topcoat of clear nail polish over & around your decal design.




Let your decals dry for SUPER long, like a few hours.
After they're dry, it should be easy to just bend the sandwich bag and then peel the corner of topcoat with some tweezers! The topcoat acts as a border that you can start peeling from so that you don't ruin the actual design of your decal!




You now have decals!




To apply, just put a coat of fresh nail polish on & stick the decal on your still-wet nail. Make sure to press all the clear edges down so that you don't have any bubbly spots.




Then put on some topcoat & you're done!

Pretty cool right?
