Nail Art Transfers That Bring  Festivity To Your Nails

Yes , I'm back today to show you yet another Nail Art Nail post.
The Brand that I have been using for my nail art lately are fantastic in their various styles and designs and I have always used their stickers previously but this time I thought I would share with you their transfers.

Transfers to me have always been tricky , you have to soak them onto the nail and sometimes they crack or tear easily , not only that but sometimes the whole of the transfer does not actually transfer onto the nail leaving only half of the design to admire .

Charlies Nail Art Transfers are applied differently to what I have been used to which intrigued me to give them a try and I received the Santa's Sleigh Transfers .

Cost - £1

Amount - 20 transfers =  1 sheet

How to apply -

  1. Peel the clear sheet from the top of the transfer sheet.
  2. Cut our your desired design and ensure it fits nail.
  3. Soak the design in water for around 20 seconds (I ran mine under a tap transfer facing down)
  4. Using a damp fingertip , rub the fingertip carefully over the design which will then able it to transfer it to your finger
  5. Carefully place your finger on top of your nail and press firmly to secure the design to your nail.
  6. Ensure the nail is dry before applying a clear top coat to secure the transfer and keep it lasting longer .

My thoughts on the Charlies Nail Art Transfers-

I was honestly expecting the transfers to be a lot like those children's tattoos in the respect that I would have to attach them to my nail then soak them on . 
Luckily for me , they were not , I was never great at keeping still with a steady hand and I often found myself smudging them in previous attempts.

Because the design is on one side unlike usual transfers , it meant that I had no other choice but peel it away from the sheet so that when it was applied to the nail you could see the sparkle and perfect design .

I followed the instructions and then when it came to having to soak the transfer I started panicking thinking it would stick to my finger on peeling it off , or roll up and spoil , but on my first attempt at it , I found it very easy and the transfer slid of the sheet very easily with no worry at all.

I placed the transfer in my desired place on the nail and then applied a top coat to secure.

In all honesty , I expected the transfer to be very thin like , thinner than the stickers I had previously tried with them , but in fact they were slightly thicker and I do think that this is noticeable on the picture as you can see the edge of the transfer at the tip of the nail .
I think my knowing this now, will make me place the transfer closer to the tip next time so it is not so visible .

The transfers have lasted on the nail a lot longer than the sticker , I am not sure why , maybe it is because they are thicker. The design did not fade and kept its sparkle and detail for a week until I removed them from the nail with nail polish remover and it was not hard to remove either.

I absolutely love the transfers, a lot more easier than I originally thought they would be and an absolute bargain , meaning you can afford to buy a couple of different designs .

So what do you think about the transfers , will you be giving them a try?

Let me know what you think and if you decide to try any of their other designs, I would love for you to send me some pictures.

I really love these. I've just started wearing nail varnish a lot. I've suddenly gone girly! I think I might need to invest in these for next Christmas x
