So, what do you guys think?! I have been collecting stickers for nearly 25 years (yes, this is true!) and have many that have these cut out designs. The three things to remember are: 1) make sure your base color is dry to the touch, and 2) make sure you don't glop on the paint, it will bleed over the design, and 3) make sure you peel the sticker off just after you're done painting the nail. I like to sort of lightly lift up all the sides (so it's not stuck on your finger) and then lightly pull it off from one side.
Hope you all enjoyed this design! Don't forget to check out Sabine's design from My Polish Stash and Shannara's design from Nails and Stuff !!!
♥ Cheers,
Bridget

I really like this design and the colors you picked! Maybe I should look for my old sticker book as this is a great idea to create nail designs! :)
Nice tip! Thanks!
Omg.. I'd never thought about using actual stickers for designs! This is SUCH a great idea! I'll have to try it for sure!
I love this challenge! I'll definitely have to keep it in mind for next year. Good luck! :D
Your snowflake nails came out so much better than mine! I ended up using stickers after my free-hand attempt failed
