Okay, so, I tried out these Drake nail decals the other day. Let me tell you, it was a bit of an adventure. I’ve always been into nail art, but I’m not exactly a pro, you know?
First off, I made sure my nails were clean. I just used regular soap and water. The instructions I read online said something about buffing the nail surface to help the decals stick better, but honestly, I was too lazy to do that. Maybe that was my first mistake.
I did use a base coat, though. Just a clear one I had lying around. I figured it couldn’t hurt, right? Then came the tricky part – actually putting the decals on. The package said to make sure your nail polish is completely dry, or it won’t stick. So I did my best to wait it out.
- Step 1: Clean nails with soap and water.
- Step 2: Apply a clear base coat.
- Step 3: Wait for nails to be completely dry.
- Step 4: Apply the decals.
These things are tiny, and I was using tweezers. I felt like a surgeon or something. I managed to get them on pretty straight, but a couple were a little crooked. But hey, it happens. They are pretty sticky though, so once they’re on, they’re on.
After I got all the decals on, I put a top coat over them to seal them in. That seemed to work pretty well. They lasted for a few days without any major issues. A couple started to peel a little at the edges, but nothing too noticeable.
Tips for Next Time
If I were to do it again, I would definitely buff my nails first. I think that would help the decals adhere better. Also, I’d probably use a quick-dry top coat, just to speed things up.
Overall, it was a fun little project. Not perfect, but not a total disaster either. If you’re a Drake fan and want to show off your love on your nails, I’d say go for it. Just be prepared to be a little patient, and maybe have some tweezers handy.
And that was my adventure, I hope you all enjoyed it, see ya!
