Dear Rus Flower Print Manicure Kit and Transfer Solution Review

Hi Reader!  Today's Manicure was done using the Flower Print manicure kit from Korean Brand Dear Rus.  You can buy this kit from international nail polish website Llarowe for $20.  Let's take a minute here to talk about Llarowe; it's basically the best website ever created for a nail polish lover.  Site owner Leah Ann Buys nail polish from all over the world and sells in on her website; basically she deals with all international shipping headaches so we can get beautiful polishes. Yay!  She also stocks many indie brands on her website as well.  Make sure to like their Facebook page as well to get news about upcoming brands and restocks.  Ok, back to the mani!

Each kit comes with a white polish, the special transfer solution, and 3 sheets of transfer paper.  You can watch a tutorial video here, but it's actually really simple!  First paint you nails like normal and let them completely dry.  You can use any color as a base, but Dear Rus recommends using white, which is what I decided to do.  As a side note, the white polish included is AMAZING; it actually goes on evenly without streaking or bald patches, and is officially my new favorite white polish.  Cut the paper into nail sized pieces and once the polish is dry, take a piece and brush the transfer solution onto the printed side of the paper (be generous!).  Press the paper design side down and apply pressure for 30 seconds.  Peel the paper off, apply transfer solution to the nail, and rub to remove any excess paper (the design will not smear).  After you're all finished, add a top coat and you're done!  Be warned that like stamped designs, a top coat will smear the design so polish very carefully and only brush across any part of the nail once (you can see this on the middle finger of my left hand).  On to the pictures!

The designs transferred really well and there was no mess whatsoever!  I'm officially a fan of this way of doing nail art.  I think I read somewhere that you can use any image from an inkjet printer with the transfer solution, but I haven't tested it yet.  What do you think of this brand?

Remember to stay gorgeous!
