How To Use Nail Vinyls

The steps to follow when doing nail art using vinyls are as follows:

1. Apply a base polish color (or clear polish) and let it dry completely.
2. Using a plucker pick out the nail vinyl design you want and place it on the nail gently pressing it down evenly.
3. Make sure the nail vinyl is securely placed specially if the design is such that it overlaps your nail bed edges.
4. Now apply the next coat of polish - try picking a distinctly contrasting color. If the polish is pale then quickly apply multiple coats of the polish. The polish is to be applied over the nail art vinyl.
5. Before the polish dries out use the plucker remove the nail vinyl following the opposite direction in which you applied the nail vinyl. This is very important if you have applied multiple vinyls to create some pattern.
6. Now top off with clear polish and you are done!

I tried out the V-shaped vinyls called Chevron tips (and placed them straight) to create the first nail art that you see in the image below. For the second image I used the thin zig-zag pattern vinyl to create a lightening effect. The third and forth nail art was created using the moroccan nail art stickers.

Whats Up Nail art store nail vinyls are very easy to use. The vinyls come off easily without pulling off the base polish. If its your first time with vinyls stick to simpler patterns.
