Nail sticker: practical option for those who like to vary their nail art

Nail stickers are great options for those looking to always have flawless nails and vary every week. There are several prints, textures and possibilities available in the most varied stickers, which allows a new nail every week. Practicality is another advantage for those who choose to use nail stickers, as they are easy to apply and to have a decorated nail.

The product analyst of the Miss Frandy nail stickers brand, Bruna Tolentino, lists the advantages of applying nail stickers. “Practicality, economy, durability and the perfect finishing of prints.”

For the product analyst, variety is also another advantage. “The greater the variety of stickers, the greater my chance of always having my nails decorated”, she says.

There are two lines of stickers that are quite popular, as mentioned by Bruna. “One line is the flower, which is ideal to place randomly on the nails, and the other line is the entire stickers, which cover the entire length of the nail”, explains the analyst. These two lines make it possible for any woman to use the stickers, from the most discreet, giving preference to flowers, to those who like more decorated and creative nails, with full nail stickers.

Most patches do not cause allergic reactions, however, it is always important to be aware of their composition. “I never brought any type of allergy, but, of course, there is a maximum time allowed, the ideal would be up to 5 days with the adhesive on the nails”, warns the product analyst.

For starters, you should do your nails the way you always do and apply your favorite nail polish. The ideal time to apply the adhesive is when the enamel is practically dry, preventing it from smearing or wrinkling, but wet enough to adhere to the adhesive. After this initial step, you should:

1. Choose the sticker you prefer and that has to do with the color of nail polish that was applied;
2. Carefully remove the sticker from the card so that it does not tear. A little water can help when releasing the sticker from the card;
3. Apply to the nail with the help of tweezers. With your fingers, press the adhesive until it is fixed and in the position you want;
4. To remove excess adhesive, you can file the tip and then cut with pliers or scissors all the rest of the adhesive that is around your nail. It is also important to be very careful during this process so that only the excess is removed;
5. After the sticker is fixed, wait a few seconds and apply a base or clear nail polish to give it shine and help the sticker to stick. You can apply one more time if you feel it necessary;
6. Pass the toothpick with cotton and soaked in nail polish remover around the nail, removing any remnants that have remained of both the adhesive and the nail polish or base. This last step will leave the final finish perfect and your nails more beautiful.
