Awe so sweet!!
That’s adorable
You’re so sweet 🥺
Great husband
What a sweet husband.. mine gets irritated by all my supplies 😞
I have a pile of these in my nail art drawer and couldn’t figure out how to use them! Thank you! 😘
Oh great! Now you can go to town! They're so easy, you really can't go wrong :)
Omg when I tell you I have wasted/ruined countless water decals trying to get them off the backing sheet without them wrinkling or damaging apart! I stamp all the time and NEVER thought to use my jelly stamper to pick them up off the paper! Game changer! I need to try!!
I looove water decals, they're so easy to work with 😊✨💕
Me too! I need to use them more often!
Thank you, I have always wondered how to do these! I like the tip about adding more base coat on top, I will see if this helps with my stickers lifting.
Fyi, the skull designs are not a Halloween design, they are Dìa de los Muertos design. The two holidays are often incorrectly conflated but they are very different.
Thank you, that's super interesting to know, I will have to do some research on that 🥰🥰
The stamping trick is genius. I have zillions of water transfers (including the exact floral ones you're using) and always struggle with placement. Thanks!
Hello mind telling me where you get your water decals/transfers.. I would love to find some pot leaves in all honesty 🤣🤣🤣
@@jenpierce2385 Amazon. Cheapest and you get them in sets of 50 often. Look up "nail water transfer decals" or even "nail stickers." And yes, I've seen pot leaves.
@@operachef1 yay thank you so much ... Hugs from Pittsburgh 🤗💨💨🥴
Thank you! I've been having a helluva time applying some of my decals because they're too flimsy or too long to pick up without them crumpling... I'll have to try the stamping trick!
Stamper trick is so dang clever! Going to make my job much easier! Thanks for that girl ❤️
It's cool eh! I'm super glad I tried it because it is so much easier :)
Its 2024 and just found your video! Started doing polygel nails and have the water transfer sticker. My research led me here. Thank you so much!
Thank you for this video !!
i am planning to do a press on nail business and this helped me alot since i can't really draw designs on nails
U explained it beautifully and clear thank u ..🙏
Just found your channel! Thank you so much for this. 💗🙌💗
My pleasure 🥰
Thank you so much!
My pleasure!
Thank you so much. I need a jelly stamp now they look so good xxx tez xxx
No problem! Sometimes when you buy stamping polishes or plates, they include a jelly stamper. Have a look around ebay for the best bargain!
Thank you
ty ♥
My pleasure 🙏
I really liked this video. Thank you!
You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it 😊
Best explained video thank you so much ☺️
My pleasure 🥰
Awesome😍
Great video 😊 tyvm x
Thanks so much 😊
OMG thank you for this video
I'm so pleased you found it helpful 😀 xoxoxo
I bought the same nail decals that have the Halloween design from wish. I tried so many ways to use them but it never worked right. Thank you for making this video bc now I can actually do them now.
I'm so glad you can use them now! It's super easy once you know what you're doing xo
sherry liles... do you mind telling me how you do the decals I also got Halloween ones and need some help 🤦🏼♀️😁😬
Thank you so much for this...
That's my pleasure. Thanks for dropping in the comments! Xoxo
You’re a lifesaver, I bought a bunch from Aliexpress and I couldn’t understand why they weren’t working 😂 thank you
You're very welcome! Enjoy your purchase: )
Wow I just got myself some cute stickers 😊 thanks to Ur video,now I know what to do😅...
Very informative thank you!
Thank you sooooooooooo muchhhhhhj, for me who started this sticker it's soooooooo helpfull
😍 My pleasure
is it necessary to apply the decal over a tacky layer of gel polish? wondering if I could wipe off the inhibition layer or sandwich it between no wipe top coat, thank you in advance! (:
Gosh I'm so sorry that I didn't see this comment when you posted it a whole year ago! Probably a bit too late, but for anyone else wondering... You can wipe the tacky layer of the polish you're applying it to. Either way will be fine :) sorry again xx
What base color nail polish do you use if you want the colors of the water decals to be more vibrant ?
White is a good choice. :)
What did you put first on the nail after you put the dia de los Muertos ?
Gel polish 😃
How you orders the funky water decals
You can find loads on ebay or amazon, or just Google "nail water decals" xx
Where did you get the little triangle tray from?
Probably on ebay. Search for triangle gem sorting tray
If im doing dip nails what liquid do i pot on top of the decal? Im new at this but i did buy some decals for fall. Im not sure what a "rubber" coat is. Thanks
I don't have a lot of experience with dip nails. My experience with them is that gel polish didn't like to stay stuck to it so I would cover the water decals with regular nail varnish topcoat.
Rubber top coat is just a thicker rubber like gel topcoat.

my pleasure :)
Hello! I have a question about water decals. I've been storing all my decals in a business card holder.
I know each sheet has a protective piece of plastic on the front, but on some of my water decals this protective sheet has fallen off.
When I tried to remove the water decal sheet - the decals were stuck to the plastic in the business card holder.
How do I prevent this? Once the protective sheet falls off the water decal paper - it's not possible to reattach it.
I don't know. That hasn't happened to mine, I keep them in a similar book, but it's for photos so might be a bit looser.
Do you think the jelly stamp method would work better for putting them onto natural fresh painted nails? I find them so fiddly to place especially looking at my own nails upside down wondering if this would help. Thanks
Yes definitely!
@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie thank you!
When done with the nail, do you remove it from the stick and put it on your nail?
You can, I just use them for practice and display mostly though.
Where did you get this specific stamper?
Born pretty. It's a jelly stamper. Xo
Love the little dish… that would be perfect for monomer… where do you get them? And does it have any weight to it?
Hi :) I think it is too shallow for monomer. It's really light and made of plastic. I probably got it off ebay. Search for gem triangle tray. :)
I just tried some baby yoda decals but as soon as I put the top coat on it disintegrated. Was it because I didn’t dry it before applying it to the nail?
What kind of topcoat are you using? I've seen this happen with air dry topcoat. But never gel.
Where did you get the silicone mat?
Hey, it was quite a while ago that I bought it so I'm not sure. Probably Ali express though 😃
They have a bunch of silicone mats on Amazon I got a 2pack pretty cheap and they have all kinds 😁
Can you use them without gel polish? I'm on the fence about trying them. They seem so fun but also a bit intimidating
Oh yes ofcourse! You could even apply them to your naked nails if you put a base coat(gel or polish) on first. Don't be intimidated, they're a lot easier than you're imagining 😘
@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie omg thank you for letting me know! Gel is so tough on my nails, I really appreciate the info!!!!
Does the rubber base stop you feeling the edges of the plastic through the top coat?
Yes :) If any remain after applying the base coat, buff it, wipe it and apply topcoat x
@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie thanks!
Hi, please answer my question
Should the nail paint be dry when we put on the sticker ??
Please reply
Hiya, it can have the tacky layer from the cured gel polish but you may find it easier if you wipe the nail with alcohol first so that it's dry. Either way is fine ☺️
@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie ok, thanks for replying.
I've got 50 sheets of these all individuals but one which is lace but is there a way I can cut it so I dont waste it like follow the pattern or cut it to the nail size? Also do I have to keep the plastic on there after I use the sheet or are they perfectly fine without it I don't keep water near them as in a tin in a plastic resealable jewelry bag x
I'm not really sure about not wasting the lace one. You'll just have to cut out as much as you need to cover the nail and make the most of whatever is left. You could always do like a half cover lace effect with a striping tape to section it off from the plain part of the nail. If you keep them safe, you can just bin the plastic lining. Any moisture and they may stick to each other though xo
@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie thank you for the help I have ordered some striping tape just waiting to be delivered x
Toni Weyman do you mind telling me where you got your decals.. I'd love to find some pot leaves 🤣.. or anything 😁 thanks
@@jenpierce2385 I got mine from ebay you can find them anywhere really all work the same
After I apply the decal how long should I wait before going in with a top coat? I am smearing my design 😭😭
Thanks and amazing video!
It shouldn't smear your design even if you go over it straight away. Some decals are if poor quality and will do that though. Or if you are using a regular varnish topcoat, that can happen. Or a matte gel topcoat sometimes will do that depending on the brand. If you're using a gel topcoat and it's smearing, try a different kind of decal, or try going over with a gel basecoat and cure it before topcoating ☺️
Thank you I had that happen also but I can't use gel I'm allergic to gel.
I just got decals like these and hadn't a clue how to use to them, so I applied them like temporary tattoos, worked too. But they have to be double sided as the back of the decal is what will show.
Thats great! I wouldnt have ever thought of that!
Is it possible to do with with regular nail (or airdry gel) polish instead of UV treated polish? The smell unfortunately is too much for me to use UV nail polish.
Yea ofcourse :)
@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie Is there anything I should watch out for? It's the first time I'll be doing this, thank you for the help!
@Blackemperess the polish doesn't need to be completely dry. Just touch dry. Make sure there's no water on the nail before you apply your topcoat :)
@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie Thank you!
Mine peel even after I put 2 coats of top coat over them???
It could be that there are traces of water under the decals. Really make sure they're dry. If that doesn't help you can place them onto wet base coat , and cure them once in position xo
Thanks!
I use warm water
UV LED lamp for top coat ???
Correct!
Do you remove the sticky layer from gel color before applying decal?
Yea. I've done it both ways and it works fine either way but I find it slides areound a bit too much if you leave the tacky layer.
@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie OK thanks so much
I'm just wishing that my plastic sheeting would come off like yours did. I can't get it off and when I cut out my flower and put it in water it does nothing. Paper doesn't come off from back and with that, I first tried to peel off like a sticker and it wouldn't, so I know that what I have is not a sticker but why can't I get it to work like yours? Same designs on paper as you show in this video. HELP!
Thats weird, the plastic should come away very easily. Without seeing it I can't really say why it's happening. It could just be that they are ruined but I don't know why that would happen.
Thank you! My biggest supporter bought me a lot of stickers recently and I used them yesterday and didn't realize they were water decals... honey the mess I made🤣🤣🤣🤣 I know now to use on a tacky layer then cover with a base coat. I used a matte top coat then tried to apply, thinking they were regular sticky stickers lol they came up 30 minutes later🤣🤣🤣
Lololol I too have mistaken them for stickers hahhahah. I'm glad you've got it now. I prefer stickers now actually. These are a bit of a faff during service.
My decals keep ripping when i try to take them off of the paper..
Oh man thats annoying. You might just need to soak them longer , or they might just be duds 😐 they are very delicate. Have you tried using a jelly stamper to pick them up?
Here I am a 14 year old trying to figure out how to do water decals at home because I don't like going to salons rn
Welcome 🤗 I am glad you're here. Decals are super easy, you've got this xo
@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie thank you I just finished putting fall decals ☺️ I love them thank you for teaching me how 🤝🥰
They just have to soak 15 sec then pick up and slide with your finger
Thank you 😊 there are many ways to do it. I'm glad you found a way that works for you .
I use them on my Gundams 💪🐻
Brilliant 😂
I don't recommend taking the plastic off permanently because designs will stick to the backs of other nail decals and potentially ruin designs. Put it back on when you're done or peel it off after cutting out the decal
Yes thats a good point! Luckily I haven't had any issues with that. But I store them in a photo book so they're all in their own pocket.
@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie I've lost so many decals cuz of that issue lol I should get a photo album to storey decals in. Would definitely save time going through them!
@@gingyb5380 oh bless you, that's a shame 😫 I definitely reccomend it the album if you have the space for it!
@@NailswithCourtneyCrosbie bahaha I dont have room for anything I own but I'll still get it 😂
@@gingyb5380 🤣🤣🤣 snap
Thank you so much!
My pleasure 😘
