Easy Nail Art That's Ready in Seconds
Water decals are stickers that separate from their backing sheet when moistened, so you can apply them directly to your nails. They work over gel polish or regular lacquer, and they make intricate designs effortless—perfect if you're new to at-home nail art.
Soak for 5 Seconds, Slide, and Press
- Start by applying a base coat or your chosen color to clean nails, then let it dry completely
- Cut out the decal you want to use with scissors, then submerge it in water for about 5 seconds
- Remove from water and shake off excess moisture, then use tweezers to gently slide the decal off its backing
- Position it where you want it on your nail, press lightly with a tissue to remove any water, and let it air dry
A Top Coat Seals in Longevity
Once the decal is fully dry, seal it with a top coat or top gel, making sure to cover the edges completely. This prevents lifting and keeps your design intact longer. If you're working with gel, apply the decal over cured base gel and finish with top gel.
24 Designs from Romantic Paris to Smile
Choose from flowers, ribbons, alphabet letters, Dalbyeol, cats, and more—there's a design for every mood and season. Even adding a decal to just one or two accent nails makes a noticeable difference.
Store in a Cool, Dry Place
Keep any unused decals on their original sheet and away from moisture. If they get wet prematurely, they may separate or curl, so it's best to store them sealed in a cool, dry spot.
