My Attempt at Full Nail Water Decals

Remember last time, here I tried out KKCenterHk's water decal and I was all:

So, I decided to try the FULL water decals and now I'm like:

Ok, maybe that's an exaggeration. I actually liked using the decals but I was not patient enough to use them properly. I need to be more patient. :( 

The decals themselves were GORGEOUS! 
I'm the one who sucks! Lol! But I managed to save the manicure. *I think.* 
Let me show you, then you can tell me! ^_^


These are full nail water decals by ANE-NAIL. They're called 12 Pcs Flowerage/Flower Transfer Sticker & Files #5004 [ANE-5004] . I loved the blue and the pretty flower design!


I thought these would be just as easy to apply as the normal water decals but later realised, you need a little more skill and patience.
I was worried the size was too big for my nails but they fit pretty well! You use them the same way as the small stickers. Here are the instructions:


Here's what I did:
Apply base coat, cut out the design, soak, peel and apply! So what went wrong? Well, when I was removing the excess I ended up being hasty and not letting it dry well! Because of which it tore in various places. :( 
But here's how I managed to save it!

So, wherever I had issues with the decal tearing, I used the gold sequins I used in this post

Overall: 
I would give these decals a shot again! They look really good and last for 5 days with a top coat! Just need to be more careful next time!

I think I saved it. What do you think?
