How to Use Nail Stickers and Decals

Nail stickers and decals are an easy way to add intricate designs to your manicure. Start with a base coat and let it dry completely. Carefully peel off the sticker or decal and place it onto your nail, smoothing out any wrinkles. For decals, soak them in water for a few seconds before applying. Once positioned, seal the design with a clear top coat to ensure longevity. These tools are perfect for creating detailed designs with minimal effort, especially when incorporated into Russian manicures.
