Abalone Shell

Waterslide Decal

This striking design captures the iridescent complexity of natural abalone shell, featuring a fluid tapestry of vibrant teals, deep aquas, and electric greens. Swirling ribbons of violet and magenta cut through the cool tones, mimicking the organic ridges and lustrous nacre found in marine mollusks. 

Ultra thin and flexible decals!

1. Apply a base colour and dry/cure.
2. Cut around your design to fit the nail.
3. Using tweezers, soak the design in water for 20 seconds.
4. Remove the design from the water and slide off the backing sheet.
5. Apply the design to the nail and press down with a dry beauty sponge to draw out the excess water.
6. Clean the edges with acetone (be gentle to only tap the edges).
7. Seat the entire design and free edges with a base coat and cure.
8. Then Seal the entire nail with a top coat and cure.
9. Lastly don't forget to give your nails the hydration they deserve and apply your Unicorn Cuticle Oil.

Pro tip: While these decals are stunning on their own, applying them over a crisp black base will make the jewel tones and "fire" of the shell pattern pop with maximum intensity. If you’re looking for a softer, more ethereal look that mimics real mother-of-pearl, try applying them over a milky white or soft nude instead.
