Not all of us are skilled with the nail polish, and therefore, not all of us can make an amazing design. That’s why there’s an amazing invention known as nail decals. These are pre-made templates in various different patterns that you stick on your nails and you then paint over them. Think of it as masking off the windows and lights when a car is being painted.

If you haven’t used nail vinyls before, chances are you might mess up on your first attempt, but here’s a video from cutepolish featuring some tips on how to use them, making sure that they’ll look gorgeous the first time, as demonstrated by two of the hosts, Sandie and Miri.
