Recently, i have been branching out on Instagram, and following small companies and new, like minded people. When clicking through links, as you do, i came across a pair of very beautifully painted nails with little pictures on them, with a link to the DIY Nails Instagram account, and was immediately in love!
The basics of the fantastic items they offer, is much the same as those fake tattoos you used to get when you were a kid. You dip them in water, apply, and you can show off to your friends that you got a super cool and totally real tattoo. But of course with the nail transfers, you paint your nails in your desired colour, apply the decal, and finish off with a top coat to seal it all in!
Intrigued, i placed my first order with them there and then. The website is totally easy to use, and both iphone and ipad friendly! All their decals are £6, and you get more than enough to do a good few sets of nails.
For my first set, i chose the 'Sweet Hearts' design, which is lots of little ice creams, donuts and hearts, and paired this with Barry M's Mint Green. I totally loved this design and colour combo. The decals are really easy to apply, and i had no trouble at all sitting them where i wanted them. Though if you do get stuck, DIY Nails have a great tutorial page! I applied a top coat, and these nails lasted for a good two weeks with no chipping, or smudges to the design at all.
When it came to removing the nail polish, the design came off extremely easily, with the rest of the nail polish.
Second time round i decided to go for a sugar plum princess look, and paired the Sweet Hearts nail decals with Barry M's Dragon, with some silver glitter at the tips.
Again the decals lasted a good couple of weeks, and there was no smudging or chipping of the design, and i got plenty of compliments on them! Plus i still have enough decals left to do another three or four sets of nails!
After falling in love with DIY Nails i decided to place another order, this time going for a larger one! So i got, The Drippy, Alphabet, Betty the Frenchie, Bowie and Kitch-mas sets!
Here i paired the Kitch-mas decals with Barry M's Copper, for a festive feel! (after chopping all my nails off! boohoo!)
I was worried the decals wouldn't look as nice on a darker background, but this just goes to show that they sit nicely on any colour base!
DIY Nails offer a fantastic product, that's easy to use and really versatile. For any girl, (or guy!) that loves their nail polish, and nail art, these are a must have. With fantastic customer service, and constantly interacting with their followers on Twitter and Instagram, DIY Nails are a small business doing it right!
Big love to the DIY Nails team!
Adios amigos,
