Review: LadyQueen - Cow Print Decals BLE881*

LadyQueen-Lady-Queen-Water-Decal-Review-Cow-Print-BLE881 LadyQueen-Lady-Queen-Water-Decal-Review-Cow-Print-BLE881

This cow print nail water decal is from LadyQueen. The sheet is big enough for at least 10 nails.

Simply cut to size, peel off clear cellophane, dampen back of decal and place on nail, and finally peel away backing. 

Here are a couple of nail art designs I did using the cow print decals:

These were easy enough to use, they did smudge with normal topcoat so make sure you use a non-dragging topcoat with these. I like Glisten and Glow - HK Girl.

LadyQueen also sent me a midi ring to use, I am someone who always wears a lot of rings. This one works well, it would also work on a little finger if you have slimmer fingers.

Stamping Plate: Bundle Monster 405 (BM405)

Review-Bundle-Monster-405-BM405

This stamping plate is from the forth Bundle Monster set, the first CYO (create your own). It is backed with branded lining to stop it from being sharp, comes covered with a blue cellophane sticker which you have to peel off before use.

Review-Bundle-Monster-405-BM405

On BM405 there are four full nail images and two smaller ones. I like the designs and they all were easy to work with other than the droplet image, again I think I need to work on my technique with larger engraved images.

You can see all of the designs I have used this plate in here, and some of those are below:
