Glad to know it's helpful

[@anjajonsson4086]

I like this channel so much. Right now almost every single nail art channel is only using gel polish, which looks beautiful but I still have my regular nail polishes and I like to see a design that i can actually recreate :)

[@femketjeNL]

Thank you so much Anja :D

[@cristinaimpoverished7435]

@@femketjeNL Regular nail polishes are so much more economical. Most people don't do gels at home, so they involve going to the salon and paying $20+ for them

[@Hvitlys]

I don't want to do gel, so I'm glad about that too! :) Thanks a lot!

For the full nail decals, if you're a gel (UV) user, use the base, cure, then top coat. The designs here are super cute!

[@timaaj4219]

Thanks for the reply to my comment from the other video. I see what your doing but this is the method im doing. When I grab the decal with the tweezers the decal crinkle together . If I try to slightly slide it off to grab it it'll stick to my finger . I guess I need to practice more. Idk. Probably try foils or something.

[@femketjeNL]

Foils are for me a lot harder to work with than decals 🤭 but maybe you are a pro at it 😁✨💕

[@crisr615]

Hi, Femke! So I've finally used a few decals and had a suggestion for another video. I'm very auditory KZbin user, so I was hoping you could do a video that *talks* more about the trimming down/dealing with excess decals on short/ narrow nails. You could also use the opportunity to compare how different decals look over dark and light colors. Thanks for all the informative content!

[@femketjeNL]

Hmmz I'll keep that in mind when my nails are shortened again, now they're long and thriving and hopefully they will keep that way for a little while longer 🤭

[@leighmc04]

At the end you applied normal top coat. But did u say you could also seal it wat a get top coat and cure it. I'm just curious if the nail polishes can be mixed..

[@femketjeNL]

You definitely can use regular nailpolish and cap it in with gel topcoat. The important thing is that the regular nailpolish has to be fully dry and hardened out before going in with the gel topcoat 😊

[@miscellaneouscell]

This is so cool, I've never tried water decals. Where did you find this brush?

[@femketjeNL]

I got it at aliexpress, it's just a simple angled makeup brush people usually use for filling in their eyebrows ^^"

[@cocosholistic_apothecay]

Is there any way that this can be used below clear builder gel, or is it only ever applied over the top of everything?

[@femketjeNL]

I definitely think it can be used like that, but would suggest to add a basecoat first 😊

[@Mallorysnails]

How do you get ride of wrinkles in the decal once you place decal?

[@femketjeNL]

If you work fast and/or there's still a bit of water left underneath the decal, you can easily rub the wrinkles out on the nail with your finger or for example a silicone tool 😊

[@authenticallytrish]

Do water decals work on top of stick on nails, or do you have to use it on painted nails? Paint never lasts as long as the premade ones for me

[@femketjeNL]

I do think they work best on a little bit of textured surface such as a regular polish or gel polish, haven't tried it on a bare press on nail before but I guess if you'd seal it in with a top coat of any sort it could definitely work 😊

[@Sky_shinenails]

Can u use it over gel ?

[@femketjeNL]

Yes you can :)

[@tessalietmeijer2469]

Wat een super leuke video. Zou het niet makkelijker zijn om eerst de topcoat aan te brengen en daarna de randjes netjes te maken met aceton? Om eventuele beschadigingen te voorkomen? Of zie ik dan iets over het hoofd😇

[@femketjeNL]

Maakt niets uit :) Beide manieren kan zolang je precies werkt aangezien ook de topcoat verwijderd kan worden bij te veel remover ^^

[@timainwhitewolf]

Thank you for this video! Do you have a tip though, what I'm doing wrong with my decals? I can slide them off the backing, but once I pick them up with the tweezers, they start curling up, which makes placing them really hard! I didn't see yours do that though.. Do I need to leave them in the water longer? What am I doing wrong?? 😅

[@femketjeNL]

It might be the decal, sometimes when they are a little thicker they have the tendency to curl up >.< You can slide it off and use a longer tweezer to keep the decal from curling, or just place it with your fingers only :)

[@timainwhitewolf]

@@femketjeNL Thank you! I feel like I wouldn't be able to do anything with my fingers alone (way too clumsy... 😅), but I will try it with longer tweezers!

dank je wel! Ik kan niet wachten tot ik mijn eerste water decals binnen krijg, maar heb ze van de week pas besteld, dus zal nog wel even geduld moeten hebben hihihi. Moet je ze eerst nog even laten drogen als ze op je nagels zitten? Of kun je gelijk topcoat eroverheen doen?

[@femketjeNL]

Op zich zijn ze erg snel droog wanneer je al het water en lucht van onder de decals hebt :) Ongeveer een half minuutje en je kunt er al met een topcoat over ;)

You can definitely use it with gel polish too, but dipping I'm not sure of because I have never used that before :)

[@diva30plus]

Do you have to put polish on your nails to use the water decals?

[@femketjeNL]

I haven't tried applying them straight onto naked nails, or at least I can't remember ever doing that. I guess that if you want to keep a naked clean nail look without any coloured polish and add water decals, you can simply add a clear base coat first since the decals will need something to stick onto. I think a clean naked nail is too smooth/slick for the decal to adhere to 🤔 But if you try to apply them onto clean nails, let me know how it works out! 😊

[@kravingwellness]

When you are removing the excess with the brush, what’s on the brush ? Water or nails polish remover ? Also, how do you remove the decals ?

[@femketjeNL]

You can use regular nail polish remover or pure acetone to remove any excess or to remove the decal fully :)

[@kravingwellness]

femketjeNL omg awesome ! ThAnk you so much for such a great video! Do you happen to know what materials these are made of ? Is it water slide paper ?

[@femketjeNL]

Well they're kind of like that, but the good side of the decal is up instead of down with regular water slide paper 😊

[@pugluver1155]

I've done exactly what you said in the video but as soon as I go to slide the decal off of the paper it falls apart or curls up. I tried using my finger and some tweezers to slide them off but neither worked for me. Idk what I'm doing wrong 😣

[@femketjeNL]

hmmz 🤔 it seems like it's all on the decal then! Have you tried another sheet or even brand of decals? I've only had super curling ones when the decals were kind of thick. The thinner the decal is, the easier it applies :)
