Recently, Born Pretty has sent me more products to test and review for you all! In this order, I received a magnetic polish and magnet stick to review, as well as some water transfers. These water transfers come in sets of 2 randomly selected designs (unfortunately they cannot be purchased separately) and currently retail for $1.30CAD. From my understanding, these randomly selected water transfers are all blue floral designs, and there's 5 different possibilities of sets that you'll receive (water transfers product ID #41383).

The two that I received are the ones in the bottom left corner of the image below, as well as the design pictured on the model's hand. Today I'll just be reviewing the ones that the model is wearing. I unfortunately didn't get the chance to review the other water transfers yet because I received all of the items to review for this order, as well as another order from Born Pretty, days apart from one another. I have review overload on the go right now, so I've been trying to rush through them all!

First of all, I have to say that I love, love LOVE the design that I reviewed! I have Dutch blood in me, so of course I grew accustomed to my mother and grandmother having white and blue patterned Dutch decorations around my house. This design looks super Dutch with the white and blue floral pattern, and I felt like I was representing my heritage when I was wearing it.

Honestly, I love water transfers because of how easy they are to apply. I save them for days where I'm too lazy to do crazy designs, pressed for time, or have creative blocks.

Application of the product is fairly easy, but if you don't have nimble fingers you may struggle a little bit. The key to application is to be gentle and patient.

Start off by cutting out the nail decals from the sheet of designs. I like to cut them all out and rearrange them in front of me so that I know which decal I want to go on each nail before I begin. Then place the decals in a shallow dish of water for 10-15 seconds. I usually place the decals in the water 2-3 at a time so that I can have them readily prepared for the next nail.

Next, remove the design from the water and gently slide the design from the paper backing. You can do this with your fingers or with a pair of tweezers. Just remember to be slow, patient, and gentle while doing this step. Because the designs are wet they tend to be slightly weighed down with water. They are very thin once peeled from the backing and can easily bend and and get stuck to itself. Once it does this it can be a little difficult to unstick the design, which results in wrinkled decals with images that are folded in on itself. You can see what I mean if you keep scrolling below. My middle finger of the chocolate cake decals has a folded cake and cupcake because I was rushing and not being gentle enough with the decal.

Place the decal on the nail, and gently position it how you want it. Once you are satisfied with the placement, lightly pat the design down and smooth out any creasing that you may have caused. If there is any excess design on your skin you can easily dissolve it with a cleanup brush dipped in acetone. Lastly, apply topcoat to seal in the design.
