DIY Nail Decals Tutorial
It’s a beautiful sight, we’re happy tonight, walking in a winter wonderland. Living in Ohio, I have a love/hate relationship with snow. For the most part, I appreciate the beauty of it and, given my hair’s hatred of humidity, I welcome the cool, crisp air. Granted, I’m fortunate to work from home so I’m not scraping ice off my car or shoveling my driveway on the daily.
Giving a nod to our current state of wintry bliss, I DIY’d a snowflake nail decal for a Winter Wonderland Manicure. When it comes to nail art, straight lines are easy-ish but, on a curved nail, a pattern like a snowflake can be a challenge to get even.
That’s why I like creating my own decals off the nail. I can perfect the pattern by having both hands free to steady the background and brush. Plus, I have a trick that takes the guesswork out of freehand nail art. Keep reading to see how I created this fun and simple look.
To get the look, you only need a handful of polishes and tools. I started with a base of Sally Hansen® Complete Salon Manicure™ in Let’s Snow (not pictured) on my nails and then used Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure™ in Snow Globe as my decal base, Sally Hansen I Heart Nail Art Striper in Blue to create the decal pattern, Sally Hansen Big Glitter Top Coat for my other nails and the Sally Hansen Raise Some Brows tweezers and Sally Hansen Ahead of the Curve file to place and trim the decal.
