Bee's Knees Lacquer-Curse Your Sudden But Inevitable Betrayal
Described as a stormy turquoise with iridescent flakes that shift red/orange/gold and purple/silver. Shown here in 3 coats, plus top coat. Formula was good and applied well. Dries with some texture so a top coat is needed for a full, glossy finish.
Night Owl Lacquer-You Can't Take the Sky From Me
Described as a black tinted base with blue/purple multichrome shimmer loaded with holographic micro flakies and blue/purple multichrome flakes. Shown here in 2 coats, plus top coat. Formula was good and applied well. Dries with a good amount of texture so I sealed this with 1 coat of Glitter Grabber plus 1 coat of a fast dry top coat.
Painted Polish-Captain Tight Pants
Described as a rust crelly with crushed gold flakies. Shown here in 2 coats, plus top coat. Formula was good and applied well. Dries with some texture so a top coat is needed for a full, glossy finish.
Ribbits and Stickits-Waterslide Decals
Instructions:
1. Paint nails, let dry completely.
2. Cut out the desired image.(Try cutting as close as possible to the image)
3. Place in warm water for 5-10 seconds.
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.
7. Seal it with a top coat.
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.
Ribbits and Stickits-Vinyl Stickers
Instructions:
1. Scrape over the entire image going over it several times(use a credit card or something with a thin hard edge) This will help the vinyl stick to the transfer sheet.
2. Place the decal face down & slowly peel the white backing from the translucent transfer sheet.
3. Slowly remove transfer sheet, making sure all of the pieces of the vinyl are sticking to the transfer tape.
4. Clean the surface where you are applying your sticker.
5. Add your sticker to the surface, smooth down.
6. Take your scraper & scrape all over the image(use your fingers if scraping isn't an option)
7. Slowly & carefully remove the transfer sheet leaving your sticker decal in place.
