DIY, Budget-Friendly Nail Stickers

This is a really cool, cute project for anyone that loves nail art. There are literally endless possibilities of how to style your nails with this cool hack, and your nail stickers can look ultra-detailed and professional!

• Sketchbook and Pencils/Pens (to design your nail art)
• Scissors
• Clear Nail Polish
• Neutral, Solid-Colored Polish (optional: these are for a base coat, but you could just use the clear coat for that, too)
• Printer/Copier (This will make your job a lot easier, but if you do not have one at home, just draw your designs really tiny)

If you have a printer/copier at home, draw some fun designs at a normal size.

Put your designs on the scanning bed of your printer and click the copy option. Find where the additional settings are located, and reduce the size of the drawing (it will usually 10-30% of its original size, depending on the proportions of your stickers). Be prepared to do trial and error for this step and possibly use multiple sheets of paper. Your stickers are at their correct size when they look like they will comfortably fit your nail. *You do not need special paper for this step, printer paper will do.*

Now, it's time to cut. These designs will be really small, so you have to be willing to take it slow and be persistent. As long as you are careful and paying attention, your stickers should not get messed up, but you have to be willing to spend some time cutting them out. But I assure you that it is worth it when they are done.

Paint a base coat of polish on your nails. This could be a plain color or just clear coat. Leave them to dry before moving on.

Take a sticker and apply clear coat polish to the back. Press the back of the sticker on to your polished nails and let them dry. You may have to push down the edges to prevent them from peeling up. Let them dry.

Once the previous step has been completed, put a few layers of clear coat polish over the whole nail, and let it dry. Enjoy your beautiful nail stickers!
