I've been exploring other nail blogs since starting mine and i've found some great ones like Nailhilism , Nailed it NZ and Wacky Laki. While searching through the tutorials I found a very interesting idea that I just HAD to try, and you should too!
It's from Wacky Laki, 'DIY cutout decal' tutorial (check it out).

The beginning step is easy as pie. You paint several layers of nail polish on a plastic like glad wrap or sandwich bags, easy. I choose these colours based on the colours already on my nails (white, pastel green and red).
Don't paint your nails fully just yet, wait to do your top coat of the your colour until these glad wrap ones are ready.
Once the paint on plastic is ready, peel it off. Wacky Laki uses a tweezer but I found it easier to use a ruler to peel off, like a sticker.
Then cut up the sticker polish into designs you like. I did an arrow and lines. Add the top layer of the polish on your nails and carefully place your sticker polish on. I used scissors to cut off the excess which ended up messy (as you can see) so I might invest in a cut box cutter (only if you feel comfortable with it and don't get carried away).
I really messed my first attempt up so i'll most likely be doing another one soon.
Thanks Wacky Laki
