Sweet World of Nails | Water Decals
Press Sample
Hey there Sweeties! Today I have a new to me Nail Decal maker to share with you! These great water decals were sent to me by Sweet World of Nails. Sweet World of Nails is a nail decal shop that has tons of decals to chose from ranging from tv shows, movies, holidays seasons and more for a great price. Read on for more info!
I was sent six different decal sets(pic above only shows five because when I opened one of them I found the sixth decal set hiding inside one of the others haha) I was sent one foil water decal set, three solid black decal sets and two colored decal sets. They all worked and applied easy enough and I had a ton of fun coming up with mani ideas to match them with. All shown here with one coat of glossy top coat over them.
Only downside for me for these ones is the foil did something wonky once I applied my top coat. it wrinkled. I'm unsure if it was the specific top coat I used(Glisten & Glow) or what but based on the photos they have on their site, it shouldn't look like that =/
20 Decals in different sizes for $2.30
Solid Black Decals-(photos above) These were probably the easiest to work with because they can be simply cut and put right onto any color polish or design and still pop out. They are very pigmented as well so no color from the polish underneath it bleeds through. These sets shown above retail for $2.30 each set which contains 20 different images each.
Colored Decals- These ones are a little more picky then the solid black ones. They are not very opaque so you either have to use them over a white or very pastel color OR do what I do and before applying them I paint the back of them white so I can use them over any color. I've done a tutorial for that in the past which you can find here. These sets are also $2.30 each for 20 images.
Overall thoughts:
Aside from my top coat doing something funky to the foil decals, I really enjoyed the others. They were good quality and didn't tear at all. Some of them did wrinkle a bit but that's because I have a strong c-curve to my nail so decals don't lay flat on my nails as well as they would on someone with a flatter or wider nail bed.
Each of these sets retail for $2.30 for 20 images.

I actually like the crinkle look of the elephants, gives it some texture...it looks cool, I think. The Little Mermaid is super cute!
ReplyDeleteI actually kinda thought the foil was supposed to look like that, because it reminded me of hammered gold leaf.
ReplyDeleteI really like the options here and of course I LOVE the Doctor Who ones!
I don't hide my hatred for water slide decals, but these are some of the best I've seen. I actually love these. I suck at using them, but I love looking at all you did with these.
ReplyDeleteI love those Harry Potter decals! The foil ones look really cool too!
ReplyDeleteLove the Dr. Who ones

ReplyDeleteThese are brilliant! I love the HP and little mermaid! How fun X
ReplyDeleteCute, I actually really like the foil decals all wrinkly.. It adds texture! :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe these are water decals!
ReplyDeleteI have heard from other bloggers that water based topcoat does not crinkle foils, plus i have heard that Picture Polish - Revolution Glitter base coat, when used as a top coat also doesn't crinkle foils lol. I'm not sure but i think gel topcoat also works well with foils, but thats a hassle to remove when swatching ;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous swatches, tfs <3
Loving these..looking forward to my first order
