Golden Rose Paris - No. 88 - with flowers!

COMMENTS: Of course the base for this was the beautiful Golden Rose Paris - No. 88. I decided the next day to add some temporary tattoos I had found at Dollar Tree recently. Then hours later I added some glass microbeads.

I started with these and used the smaller flowers hiding at the bottom right corner of this photo: 

They're actually a continuous strip, so I counted out 10 and cut the section out:

Look - they printed the image on the back to help you with placement! Awesome!

Separated them with small scissors - 10 pieces.

And I have my brush and water ready:

Remove the protective layer from the front, turn upside down and stick to nail (yes, it has adhesive, this is why it would not work to apply it like a water decal)

I then use the brush to wet the backing so I can shape the tattoo backing to my nail - sticking the tattoo to my nail in the process.

After a little while (less than 30 seconds), the wet backing releases and slides off, leaving the tattoo on your nail:

Here all the nails are done. Let them dry completely.

Then add a nice thick layer of topcoat to seal them in:

I later added some microbeads:

Before topcoat:

After a final coat of topcoat to seal the beads:

I absolutely love this mani! I just took it off too, but it was still intact. Gorgeous payoff for a few simple steps! I'm so glad I can use these and rub-ons as alternatives to konad/fauxnad stamping!
