More Feather Decals

I've been taking a bit of a break from painting my nails recently. For some reason, I just haven't felt like doing anything for the last week. I've actually had bare nails since last Sunday! I had to force myself to do these nails today. I just feel very uninspired recently....

Anyway, today I have again used the Born Pretty Store feather design water decals - see my previous review here.  Today I am wearing Barry M Limited Edition Christmas Blue (2 coats) with the white feather decals.

I love how the decals have some empty space in the design, which allows the base colour to show through and make the feathers look very delicate. I chose the blue base colour to go with the blue and yellow in the centre of the feathers.

These decals are so easy to use, I am a total convert to them. They're so thin that you can't feel them on the nail - they're not raised at all and have a completely smooth finish.

I think it might be time for me to have a bit of a shopping splurge at the Born Pretty Store! I have a birthday coming up in a while, so I think I may need to treat myself... Plus I can use my own discount code to get 10% off, woo! They keep introducing new items, it's just so tempting!

  1. That colour looks perfect. In the first pic it almost looks like a silver to blue gradient under the feathers.

    1. Ooh now that would look good! I need to work on gradients - mine are poor.

    2. That's the beauty of the decals, the gradient can be a bit wonky, because the decal will hide the worst.

  4. I love how neat the decals are. Excellent colour choice - they are almost peacocky.
