    Nautical But Nice

    I really love nautical nails. There’s something about wearing the scheme of red, blue, white and gold in the summer that just makes you feel very sophisticated; like you’re always ready at the drop of a (captain’s) hat to hop on to the yacht and sail around Europe!
    I spotted these water decals at Born Pretty Store and fell in love immediately! The pack is $2.86 (approx £1.90) and you get a selection of 20 decals in compass and anchor designs. I’m beyond impressed with these. As you can see, they’re the kind that are really thin so as long as you apply them carefully and give them a good smooth over, you can’t even tell they’re decals. Although this does mean they’re very delicate so you have to be light handed when applying them!

    1. My base colours are Barry M White and NYC Raindrop on my index finger.
    2. I applied the nautical themed water decals using a pair of tweezers.
    3. Using striping tape, I marked off some stripes on the other fingers and used a nail art brush to fill in the gaps with Barry M Gold Foil, Essie Mezmerised and Rimmel Heart on Fire.
    4. I finished it all off with two coats of No7 Stay Perfect Top Coat.

    Rockin Claws from House of Wonderland

    I’m not sure if you’ve heard of House of Wonderland before, but it’s a funky little british company dreamt up by Tessa Shearer. They sell some really cute water decals and Tessa got in touch to see if I’d like to try some. I opted for the Sugar Skull design because come Cinco de Mayo every year, I try to paint sugar skulls on to my nails and fail miserably every time!


    These decals really apply with minimal fuss. Just cut out, soak in water for a few seconds, peel away from the paper and stick! I used a base colour of NYC Raindrop and No7 Stay Perfect Top Coat to top this mani off.
