Hello, Fireflies!
I'm so happy with the way this nail art cam out! Especially after it started with a streaky yellow base coat, Ulta Cream Of The Crop.
I tried doing a sponge gradient with Barry M Blue Moon, a soft pale blue, with a slight shimmer, but they're both so sheer that they just absorbed into the sponge. I achieved pretty much the look I wanted by just painting the two colors on my nail! Sometimes, the simplest solution is the best one.
I used these Lily water decals from Born Pretty Store in a mani earlier this week, but I actually created this one first. I loved the decals so much, I just had to use them again! And then, I ordered another set that I paid for (these were sent for review.)
These are the epitome of Spring/Easter nails. Pastels, light, airy colors, with bright lilies.
I fell in love, and I fell hard. And, I'm so proud of myself for using all three colors of the Tri-polish challenge! (golf clap)
These decals are so easy to use - just cut off the decal you want to use (you don't even have trim it that close!) soak it in a bit of water for 10-20 seconds, slide the decal off the paper backing with your fingers or a pair of tweezers, and put it on your wet nail. Slide it around until it's where you want it to be, and then blot gently with a lint-free cloth - or just let it dry on its own. They don't lift like stickers, and they melt away with the nail polish remover, so there's no extra clean up.

Do you love these as much as I do? I can't even take most of the credit - the decals did most of the work!
