Good evening! I am super excited to share this review with you tonight! This is the first ever "Little Box of Horrors" collab! This bi-monthly collab consist of at least 25 makers that create a polish and/or other beauty product inspired by horror, paranormal, supernatural, thriller, sci-fi or mystery. The first months theme is inspired by none other than the greatest horror writer of all time(at least in my opinion lol) Stephen King!! Read on for more info, photos and live swatches!

Ribbits Stickits-Water Slide Decals

4. Using your thumb & index finger slide the paper backing from the image.
5. Lightly dampen the back of the decal.
6. Place image on your nail, pressing down to remove any air bubbles.

Tip:
If you prefer to use the decal over a colored/darker polish it's best to paint the back of the image with white polish/acrylic paint letting it dry before applying it to the nail. (which is what I did for this mani)
