DIY Nail Stickers


Neon Marble

 
 

Make Your Own Nail Appliques

Paint your designs on a plastic zip lock bag and after it's dried you can peel off the designs and use them just like stickers! This is the coolest idea I've heard of and it's so easy. This eliminates the shaky strokes on the nails of dominant hand and that chunky thick layered look when you have too much polish on. This is also ideal for impatient artists because it dries completely on the plastic so you can go about your day without being able to use your hands during dry time.
 

How To:

With this marbling technique, I just painted random stripes horizontally then swirled a pin back and forth vertically through the stripes. Once it's fully dried and you peel off the design from the plastic bag, trim the sticker with scissors to fit the round part of the nail bed to fit in the cuticle areas. Press the sticker to your nail and it will adhere. Then file down the excess along the nail edge and put on top coat to set it.
 
The design possibilities are endless with the make DIY nail sticker method.
Try it yourself!
