            Why does my polish look different than I expected?

            Fangirl Ltd mixes each polish by hand in small batches. This can sometimes lead to slight color and glitter variations. Also, please take into consideration different computer, phone, and tablet screen resolutions, which can all cause color variance. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask :)


            Tips For Polish Application:

            - Use a good base coat. Everyone has a different body chemistry and, although unlikely to happen, high pigmentation in some polishes can cause nail staining. A good base coat will help to prevent nail staining.

            - A good top coat is also recommended. Top coat will help to smooth out glitter polishes, as well as help protect against nail tip wear of any polish.

            - For best results, bottles of glitter polish can be turned upside-down for a few minutes prior to polishing.

            - If you feel that your polish is a little too thick for your liking, you can add a few drops of polish thinner. However, be aware that thinning out a polish too much can reduce the suspension ability and glitter will sink. Also, NEVER use acetone or polish remover to thin out a polish, as these will ruin your polish.


            Water Slide Nail Decals **Tips & Tricks**

            - For best results, make sure you water decal has dried completely on your nail before adding a top coat. Quick Dry top coat is NOT recommended for immediate use with decals, as it will shrink and distort the image. A regular top coat works best. Feel free to finish the already top coated decal with another layer of quick dry (scented or unscented) top coat after the initial layer of regular top coat is fully dry.

            - Do not apply too much pressure while smoothing the decal, as this may compromise the integrity of the decal. The least amount of touch is best.

            - If the decal doesn't want to stay in place, you can always:

            • Gently blow warm air on to the water decal while placed on your nail, and gently tap it down. Repeat this process as necessary, and work out any air bubbles at the same time.
            • After soaking the decal and removing the backing, put the water decal on a nail stamper and place the decal onto your nail as you would if you were stamping it. This method works best if your nail is ever so slightly damp with a tiny bit of water.
            • Make sure to soak up any excess water on your nail after placing the water decal down. If nail has too much water on it, the decal will slide around and take longer to adhere.
            - Fangirl Ltd's water slide nail decals are printed on transparent decal paper.  Please note the following:
            • All decals printed on transparent/clear paper will look best on lighter shades of polish (such as white, very light beige or very light nude colors, etc.).  All areas that are white on the image will actually appear as the color of the polish on your nails. However, they can still be seen over darker shades of polish by simply painting the decal with white nail polish or acrylic paint. The added white "paint" enhances the colors on the water slide decals, allowing the image to "pop" more. You can search You-Tube for a tutorial video on this method, as there are several different techniques.

            - If there is an area on the decal that is clear and you want to fill it in a different color, other than that of your polish, you can always use different colors of nail polish or acrylic paint to do so as well! Be creative and have fun with them!! :)

            - Do not soak in hot water. Hot water will distort image and cause it to shrivel, or curl up on itself. Regular room temp water works best, but cool water will work as well.

            - Submerge decals for 5 - 10 seconds. Longer times may cause decal to slide from backing in the water and curl up on itself.

            - When cutting out the images, stay as close to the decal image as possible, cutting around the image. Rounded edges seem to look better than hard square edges.
