"Do You Wanna Build a Snowman?"*

*This post contains items which were supplied by Born Pretty Store in return for an honest review. In this post, these items are the "Frozen Water Decals"

Or would you rather do your nails? Why don't you do both!?
Introducing, these wonderful water decals featuring images from Disney's Frozen!




This was actually my first time using water decals and I honestly found that they were super duper easy and not as fiddly as I'd expected! Plus, they're just so cute, and check out that detail! (Remember you can click an image to view a larger version.)


I got one sheet of decals, of the type which are usually around 95p on Born Pretty Store, and had 20 separate designs on them- only a couple of which were repeated! The designs include...


Sassy Elsa's "The Cold Never Bothered Me Anyway" pose.


Disney's Frozen logo.


Cute Anna pose!


Marshmallow the snow-monster, Sven, Anna and Hans, and everyone's favourite Snowman- Olaf!

They're so easy to apply, you literally just cut out the single design, submerge it in water along with your nail of choice, then (out of the water) you just slide the design right off the backing paper and onto your nail, where it can be moved around freely for a short while before it dries. After that you just have to mop up any excess water using a tissue, and then seal it on with a topcoat. Beautifully easy!

One of the only con's of water decals, and specifically these ones, is that you can tell that it's not your own amazingly detailed brush strokes that's created the design- so if you're into people not knowing you've "cheated" just bare in mind on the designs you choose! You can check out Born Pretty Store's range of Water Decals here!

But wait... there is more! Before you rush off to buy some, Born Pretty Store have kindly provided a 10% off code for all of my lovely readers (that's you!). Just enter it in the checkout- though it won't work on any items that are already discounted. Here's the code- it'll always be in the sidebar on the right, so don't worry about finding this post again to use it.

  1. I am not a Frozen fan but these decals look great and this is a lovely review. I don't think decals are cheating - I definitely think people need to embrace all the wonderful media that we nail peeps get to stick to our digits :D

    1. I agree with you there, though I still feel like I'm "cheating" a little because of how easy it is hehe. And people don't tend to be quite as impressed- but who cares! ;D

    1. They were sooooo easy, I was pleasantly surprised! I'd definitely do a tester one on a bad design or something just for a practice but they're super easy ^^ I wrote a teeny tutorial in my post if you missed it! :)

Fridail: OPI Beach Sandies!

Happy Wednesday  Friday everybody! Where did the time go!? Anyway, we'll dive straight in with the post! I apologise in advance for the iPhone-quality of images, I'm still looking for some batteries that my camera won't complain about. Today I'm covering OPI's Beach Sandies from the Brazil collection, which is a little quartet of mini liquid sand polishes. Can I just say here, if anyone high up in the chain of OPI reads this (which is unlikely, but if you do then HI!), please please pleeeeease make these in full-sized bottles? Please! So... This is the box, and the four that you get (I swatched super quickly over each, so do excuse that)

Hello! Today's prompt for Life in Lacquer's July Nail Art Challenge is Floral! My initial reaction to this was "urgh.

(I really am crazy-impressed by a lot of these mind, they're so detailed and delicate and pretty)
