Bourjois sent me this Nail Art kit recently and I finally tried it out yesterday.
This is the kit.
It's not perfect but considering this is the first time I did something like this, I'm happy with it.
The instructions are on the back, but there's always a difference to what the instructions tell you and how you do it. So this is how I did it. I followed the instructions, with a few tweaks.
Tools:
I used these nail colours: A base coat, a pink polish, a blue one and a top coat.
This is what's inside the kit: stencils, stickers, and silver sticky tape. Quite a lot of stuff which I'm guessing will last me quite long!
So here's what I did:
1. I painted a base coat, and then the pink. {Wait for it to dry completely.} Now the tricky part- painting the little blue triangles on top of my nails using the stencils. Thankfully the stencils are really good and sticky, so it was easy. Put the stencils on all 5 fingers and then start painting. I painted all 5 and then peeled the stencil off. Painting all 5 fingers together helped the paint dry a bit which helped me peel off the stencil without smudging.
Tip: Cut off the top part of the stencil to make it easier.

This was the result.
2. The tape. Very tricky. If you have a sister or best friend, ask them to help you with this. I stuck the tape on directly from the roll and then snipped it with scissors.
Tip: You'll have a teeny bit of excess tape on the edge of your nails. Cut it off using nail clippers.
3. I stuck the stickers on and then painted the top coat. I did two coats of top coat to make sure all the stickers sealed in.
Et voila! Pretty nails!
