Remember my DIY colored nail strips on nude polish previously? I mentioned that I wanted to cut out patterns and apply them so here is another try with Color Club Eternal Beauty! :)
Base is 2 coats of Essence Ballerina's Charm, a dusty lavender with silver shimmer, very pretty and work friendly. See below for plain swatch.

To cut out the shapes, I got a set of cheap craft scissors from Daiso, only $2 ;) But I didn't notice it's plastic though, no metal blades so it's pretty blunt. And actually, there were a lot of warnings at the back to take care, be cautious of the blades, etc, which I thought was quite misleading after realising it's plastic :p
I know you can probably use tape to block out the areas and apply polish but that would need time for it to dry or a fast drying top coat, and quick removal of the tape to prevent smearing the lines. For this, you can put the DIY decal on once you apply sufficient coats of base color since the tackiness of the polish will enable it stick together, so no wait time! :)
This is not a new thing, I can't remember where I saw this before but normally they will say apply on ziplock/ plastic bags but I tried that and feel that scotch tape enables you to remove the decal much more easily.
If you try this out, please share it with me! ;)
Thanks for viewing.....
