Feeling Extra Blue Today…

I’m feeling extra blue today but not in the way you think. Actually, my nails are the ones feeling extra blue lol. Let me rewind a little and explain it better.

Many moons ago A few years ago, I purchased some nail decals not knowing what they are or how to use them. I came across them when we moved to our new place and yesterday I decided to try using them for the first time. For those of you that aren’t familiar with nail decals, they’re like stickers or semi-permanent tattoos for your nails that you can easily remove with nail polish remover. Remember those fake tattoos we would get as kids? That’s what they are but for nails.

Nail Decals Shein Review

I thought they would take an hour to apply max but they literally took me like two hours lol. And the quality was BAD. Like not unusable but they were hard to use and are already starting to come off after a day even though I used a top coat. The blue colour and design is cute though, ngl. I will say though that they’re old which may have affected the quality and I bought them super cheap off either Romwe or Shein so I got what I paid for lol.

Anyway, here is what they look like at the moment:

  1. Feeling blue looks good on you Pooja! I love them but I can’t begin to imagine your patience of all things. I’d love to hire you to do mine if I was sleeping so I didn’t have to sit that long. Hopefully they last for 2 months to make it worth it!
    💙

    1. Aw thanks so much! They’ll last a week max so definitely not worth all the work lol 😂

      1. You best start rocking the town, my working girl and have some fun! 🤩

        1. Yup that’s the plan haha! 😉

          1. Awesome and I want to hear about at least 1 or 2 hat dates 😱😂🩷

            1. You’ll get pics 😅💗

  2. They look really nice
    I will do my nails before going to Europe
    I don’t usually pay enough attention to such things, but my family think it’s important

    1. Thanks so much. I would 100% recommend not using decals, they’ll be gone by the time you get to Europe. Yeah, I think some people don’t care too much about these things while others do.

      1. I used to do my nails and wear high hills to look good. America convinced me it’s completely unnecessary, good thing I work in high school where some kids are still trying to look good.

        1. Yeah, I think norms are different in each country but in the end we should do what we’re comfortable with and not worry too much about the rest.

  3. They look really pretty. You did a great job.

    1. Thank you so much.

  4. Oh, I think those look great and your nails are beautiful! Sorry they aren’t staying on but what a fun project.

    1. Thank you! Yeah, it was fun to do and even though it took a while it was relaxing.

  5. Do they glow in the dark? I think nail and toe coloring on a woman looks great.

    1. I wish they would glow in the dark, that would be cool. Thanks so much.

  6. They look very good but if they are coming off already, that is not fair.

    1. Thank you. Yes, they are not long lasting at all.

      1. That’s sad. A waste of time and money.

        1. It was pretty cheap but definitely a waste of time, two hours was too much.

          1. Very true.

  7. They look very swirly to me.
    and two hours to apply? That seems excessive. Of course, anything over 5 minutes would seem excessive to me, hahahaha 😀

    1. Haha yes, I think it’s meant to be marble effect. The two hours was excessive for me too but it was fun like an art project 😅

  8. Okay, nails! I love them!

      1. You’re most welcome!

  9. I have never tried nail decals and I don’t think my wife or daughter has either. Well I have a feeling they are not for me anyway. But they look on your hand. Too bad they don’t last long.

    1. Thanks so much. I really liked the colour but in the end it wasn’t worth the effort.

  10. You have beautiful hands, Pooj!! I love the blue on you. ❤️❤️

    1. Thank you so much, blue is my favourite colour! ❤️💙

      1. You are welcome, Pooja. ❤️

  11. They look beautiful!!! 💙✨

    1. Thank you! 💙

  12. I like them. It’s a cool blue.

    1. Thanks so much, yeah the colour is vibrant and pretty.

  13. You trying something new. I also myself have a few things I meant to try and it just sitting around the house. It’s great you got to experience the decals.

    1. Thanks. Yeah, trying something new can be a lot of fun.

  14. I’ve tried nail decals before and they are okay.I feel if I did them more I would be better at it. I don’t know. I think they look good on you though!

    1. Yeah, I think definitely easier with practice but in general pretty difficult to use. I would rather just wear press ons as they last 3-4 weeks and take less time. Thank you!

  15. You have lovely hands, and the nails look great. One would never know what you went through. 😀

    1. Aw thanks so much 😊

  16. 🙏🌹

    Aum Shanti

  17. Very nice. Love the colour and design.

    1. Thanks so much. I really liked the colour too.

  18. HAha Feeling Extra Blue With Stylish
    Nail Decals as applied Dear Pooja

    Indeed Reminds me of the
    Frosting on the Ice Cream
    Cake i Got For my Birthday

    Never Knew Such a thing
    Existed yet my Wife Is Fully
    Aware Nail Decals are Commonly
    Used and i Guess i’m Feeling Extra

    Scientistic Than Artistic Tonight as the
    First Thing i Noticed Was the ‘2d:4d Ratio’

    And How High it is with Your Index Finger
    Much Longer than Your Ring Finger as Mine

    is the Opposite and Indicative of a Lot of Pre-Natal
    Androgens From the Era of my Life in the Womb as Such

    It’s Just an Educated Guess
    Yet i’m Betting the Mona
    Lisa had a very High

    2d:4d Hand

    Ratio too With
    SMiLes of Course
    i just checked it out
    and unfortunately her
    Ring Finger is Not Visible in the Portrait..:)

    1. Yes, I have really long index fingers and longer nail beds too. I think people say that different personality types have different finger sizes but I don’t know how true that is. Haha thanks so much.

      1. Truly Fascinating
        How Hormones
        Shape So Much
        Of Our Being Human☺️🙌

  19. They look good, Pooja!👌🏽
    Blue is a positive colour.

    1. I remember buying plastic nails, at school, when I was in the 4th standard. It was a private school.
      There was a beauty parlour near the school. A girl bought a small pack of nails and the gum which comes with it. She shared this information with her friends from boys side also.
      So out of curiosity some boys ordered nails for themselves. It was just fun, at that time, to add stylish nails on your fingers. Though it looks very stupid now. Ha…ha…

      I realise the makeup stuff around girls is so highlighted and available in general that boys sometimes fall into this, accidentally.
      I don’t know if there is something similar for the boys also. I guess man prefers to present themselves in simplicity. Their makeup is limited to using perfume, trying new dresses, and maintaining a unique hairstyle.

      1. Haha yes we are more playful when we are younger and do silly things.

    2. Thank you! ☺️

  20. It looks really good on you. But yeah, they can’t be peeling that quickly after you spent two hours doing them. But now you know the look, try it again.

    1. Thanks so much. Yeah, it’s pretty but not worth the effort. I doubt it’ll even last a week.

  21. LOL Pooj – I’ll have to get mine done!

    1. Just don’t use decals lol!

  22. Love the color, that’s for sure! I can’t imagine spending that much time on’em though. 🙂 I keep my nails pretty short so I go for bold colors (when I bother with it at all) over anything else. Best way to feel blue, if you ask me!

    1. Thank you! Yeah, definitely was not worth the effort. I’m the opposite I usually have longer nails and very subtle colours 😅

    They look good when they were put on.

    1. Thank you so much.

  24. I like it, it’s very cute 🤩; you did excellent.

    I also like the twist in reference to what you put for the title and what the issue really is 😹😁

    1. Thanks so much, haha yes it was my attempt at a clickbait title 😅

      1. 🤣🤣 Haha

        It was a fun read and you are welcome 💙🥰💙

  25. I love them! When I used to have my nails done, I would opt for seasonal designs. Now, I Just slap on a coat of nail hardener. You inspired me to try something new, Pooja. Thank you. 💙

    1. Thank you! This is your sign to do some fun colours this fall 😊

      1. You’re welcome!

  26. I like the nails. I mean, what I do I know about applying them. I do know that blue is my favorite color, so I have more than one reason to like your work. I think my fingernails have gotten softer, which might be from a lack of something I used to ingest. I hope you have a pleasant week.

    1. Thanks so much. Blue is my favourite colour too and I liked how vibrant these are. Hmm, it could be from a lack of calcium maybe? Have a great week too.

  27. When I was in 7th grade, there was a trend of marble nail paints in our girls’ group. We’d drop a few drops of nail polish into water, add another color on top, and then dip our nails in it.
    It literally took me the whole afternoon, but the results were still not satisfactory.
    It’s funny how, in childhood, we often follow trends just because everyone else is doing it — lol.

    1. Lol I remember that trend. So true we would follow trends and waste of much time and effort over them.

  28. I used to grow out my nails. But I got so lazy with them that I cut them down again. People think I bite my nails, but no, I sometimes don’t like them long. I found two sets of fake nails in my makeup case. I should try them out to see if I’d like longer nails again.

    1. Yeah, longer nails take more work. Ooh yes give them a try, I wear press ons quite often and they’re great.

  29. جميل جداً ،لاكن هل كان يستحق كل هذا العناء

    1. لا، بالتأكيد لم يكن كذلك

  30. Your nails are very nice Pooja.

    I don’t think I used nail decals. I might have but didn’t know that was what they were. I used Color Street. Sounds like the same thing though. They took about fifteen minutes to put on, so maybe not. But your nail look great!

    1. Thanks so much. I think Color Street are stick on nail designs and these were more like tattoos which is why they took forever to use.

  31. They look beautiful! Took me in their with some nice clickbate there.

    1. Thank you! Lol, I love when clickbait works.

  32. The nail decals look terrific on your hands. I have never worn them but I have invested quite a bit in them for two of my granddaughters. And I can confirm that they do not last long. When my granddaughters were younger I did let them apply nail polish to my nails a couple times. I would forget I was wearing the polish until someone would look at me oddly.

    1. Thanks so much. Oh yeah, they only last a couple of days at most. Haha yeah, they may have been thrown off by the polish especially at work.

  33. They look awesome, Pooja, too bad they didn’t last!
    I have tried them, however the ‘ingredients’ they are made of bothered me and I had to stop.

    1. Thank you so much! Yeah, it was not worth the effort. That’s totally fair, a lot of nail products don’t have great ingredients.

  34. I hate to hear that the quality wasn’t the best. But otherwise, they at least look really pretty! 😍

    1. Thank you! Yeah, the colour was nice but not worth the effort 😅

      1. You’re so freaking welcome! 😁

  35. I think your nails are pretty, Pooja. I’ve never tried decals, but I’m the worst manicurist in the world.

    1. Thanks so much. I’m sure you’re not that bad, it’s all about practice.

  36. I like them! Very cool, not something you see every day 😎

    1. Thanks so much! 😊

  37. I actually think they look great, and I love the blue, Pooja! I do my own nails, but I’ve never tried decals and don’t have a lot of patience. 🙂

    1. Thank you! I liked the look too but definitely not worth the effort lol. Yeah, that’s totally fair. I would recommend just sticking with press-ons or nail sticks or just regular manicures are good too 🙂

  38. L <3 VE them 😀 !!! I am into all the nail art and neon colors, but your swirls are very artsy and cool !!!

    1. Thank you so much! They came with the swirls but I really like them too and the colours. I just wish they wouldn’t take forever to get on 😅

  39. Cool..they look good..I’ll speak for most men here, but that may not be saying much, we wouldn’t know they were decals lol .. 🙂

    1. Thanks so much, haha that’s totally fair. 🙂

  40. Dear Gudka
    I was quite impressed by your post. It has given a new point of view.
    Thanks for liking my post, ‘Friend’ 🙏

    1. Thanks so much and my pleasure.

  41. Looks like an ocean and waves
    so cool

    I want to see green and red with same texture

    1. Thank you. Yeah they would look very pretty with different colours too but not worth the effort lol.

  42. Oooh they look so cute!! 😍 A shame they didn’t last long but nice for the moment in time! ✨️ I’ve never used nail decals before but I have used minion stickers on my nails before 🤣 and I’ve got some cute shooting star stickers from temu recently which was such an impulse buy as I hardly ever paint my nails (I just glue on) but you’ve reminded me i have them to use!

    1. Thanks so much! Aww those sound so cute, do share pics when you use them! 😊
