Morning! Continuing on in my Halloweek of Halloween themed nails, I've
got some cute Skull Water decals to share with you that you could rock
all year round.
I first saw these water decals on
ChitChat Nails
and thought they were quite possibly the cutest things I had ever seen.
So when KKCenterHK gave me another opportunity to review some or their
products, I jumped at adding
these decals to my list!
I literally put these on the day that I received them in the mail and
got waaaaay to excited and started cutting them all up before I had a
chance to take a picture of the packaging, so here is what the sheet
looks like courtesy of KKCenterHK!

You can't tell me these aren't insanely adorable! Since there are 5
different skulls I wanted to use a different on on each nail to show
them all off. I had also recently gotten an awesome package from Hannah
of Polly Polish, which included the amazing
GOSH Holographic Hero and knew that I would be showcasing that in these nails.
Gah! I seriously can't get over how adorable these are! I am smitten with them.
Before I started polishing I cut up the sheet so that 10 of the decals
(2 of each design) were on their on little square. I wanted to make sure
I didn't mess up my base coats while using the scissors. Then I laid
them out in the order of the nails that I wanted to use them on. I also
grabbed a shot glass and filled it up with water and my tweezers were
close at hand.
I used
Holographic Hero on my thumb, middle and ring nails. On my index I used
Essence Ultimate Pink and on my ring nail I used
NYC Lexington Yellow.
Then I was looking at my nails and the decals and it seemed like there
was going to be a lot of holo so I grabbed some striping tape and
striped off my pinky and then added one coat of
Essie Bikini So Teeny.
Then I started placing the decals in the water for about 10-15 seconds
with the tweezers, then pulling them out and pushing the decal off the
paper backing and onto my nail. You've got about a 20 second window to
move the decal around until you're happy with it and then it will start
to adhere to the nail. These worked perfectly! Absolutely no complaints.
Except on my pinky, I slid it off and I hadn't waited long enough for
the polish to dry so that's why it got stuck in an off kilter position.
So make sure your base colour is
completely dry before you start
dipping your decals into the water. I also thought my thumb was looking a
little bare so I added the bones with a black creme and a striping
brush and dotting tool.
I'm still wearing these beauties as I type this up and will only be
removing them tonight because I have been wearing them for 4 days and
I'm getting a few chips.
The best part about these decals? They are only $2.82! You can get 2 10
fingered manicures plus one extra hand for under 3 dollars? Complete
win. You can pick up your very own set

These may not be perfectly Halloweeny but they sure are awesome and I will be busting these out again as accent nails
for sure in the near future.
What do you think of these cute skull decals? Will you be trying these anytime soon?
Thanks for coming by! :D
