Last week, I read this tutorial from All Laquered Up on creating your own DIY nail decals. I thought it was so cute and wanted to give it a try.
Here’s a little step by step:
Supplies:
- Variety of Nail Polishes & a top coat. I wanted to create a dichroic glass effect so I chose shimmery jewel tones and the Nubar 2010 speckled top coat.
- Nail dotting tool or toothpick.
- Plastic Sandwich Bag.
- Nail Scissors
Step 1:
Paint small rectangles the size of your nail with top coat onto the plastic baggie. Be sure to do a fairly thick coat.
Step 2:
While top coat is still wet, use dotting tool to paint whatever design you would like.
Step 3:
Allow paint to dry overnight.
Step 4:
Peel decal off and place on center of nail. Smooth out edges and trim excess.
Step 5:
Paint the rest of your nails or apply decals and finish with a top coat
u r talented! i think decal protects nail too rite since the colour have no contact on nails

Good Point! You do have to remove it with nail polish remover so there is some contact, but it’s very brief!
So I’m gonna be trying this tomorrow, and I wanted to know, how does it stay on your nail? Wouldn’t it slip or peel off? And if I try doing words, will it work? And any tips on it?? Other than that, thanks so much for this! It is very cool and interesting
