Hey gals!
I just wanna share how to make my new nail art in this tutorial.
I was inspired by a YouTube video tutorial (I forgot the title >.<) about nail art using good ol' peel off temporary tattoos. I was amazed by the technique and I decided to do my own version. I hope you will be inspired by mine too. ^_^

----

Here's what I used:



L-R: 1) The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX Nail Remover in 01 Pink ; 2) Skinfood Vita Nut Nail Strengthener ; 3) Etude House Petit Darling Nails HD Beam in #BR308 ; 4) Etude House Jelly Pop Nail Top Coat ; 5) Ball of cotton ; 6) Temporary tattoo/s ; 7) Scissors

Let's begin!


My FUGLY nails from failed attempts of drawing a lip shape and a star. LOL.

So first things first, clean ur nail from any residue of past nail polishes. I used The Face Shop Lovely ME:EX Nail Remover in 01 Pink, I really love the scent of this nail (polish) remover so I nearly reached the bottom of the bottle!

After cleaning put on a base coat, I used Skinfood Vita Nut Nail Strengthener as a base coat. It is formulated with Vitamin E and Protein that provides nutrition to the nails. :)


While waiting for the base coat to dry, cut the temporary tattoo into sizes that would fit your nails appropriately. I used a bigger scissor. ToT


Here are the pieces when cut. ^^

Notice that they were only 9. Haha! I am cutting the 10th piece while taking the picture. XD
After cutting appropriate sizes apply your base color. I used Etude House Petit Darling Nails HD Beam in #BR308. I chose this color because I love how it matches my hand's skin tone and I love nude colors. :)


1 coat is just enough for me. I love how pigmented the color is, very HD! :D

This is the pic when done with my left hand:


While waiting for the base color to dry I played one of my favorite iPhone games. Zombie Cafe! Harhar.


Prepare water on a small container (I used the nail (polish) remover's cap.LOL) and a ball of cotton.


Carefully place the tattoo over your nails. Make sure the base color is COMPLETELY dry before doing this or it will ruin the base color!


It looks like I have super pointed nails. Haha!
Swipe. Swipe. Swipe, with a wet cotton ball or press it over the tattoo like I did for about 10-15 seconds.


CAREFULLY peel off the tattoo and ta-da!! What a cute little butterfly. <3


Continue doing the steps to the rest of the nails. Remember to be patient! :)

DON'T FORGET TO APPLY TOPCOAT. It will protect the tattoo from peeling off and also protect your nails from chipping. I used Etude House Jelly Pop Nail Top Coat, a shiny jelly coating that supplies nail strengthening enamel protection for long lasting manicure expression. I love how cool and glossy my nails are after applying this topcoat. :D

Finish! :)

Don't forget to clean off the messy edges. :P
