Nail Rock - Dotty Red

I've used Nail Rock a couple of times now and have always been impressed. This classic red and white spotted dot is a great style as it goes with absolutely everything. It could easily be done using nail varnish and a dotting tool, but it wouldn't be as neat and wouldn't last as long. This is probably quicker and easier to do as well!

One note I would say about the application of them is use a hairdryer to heat them before sticking them on your nail. Old packs used to always say to do this but I think they must have had to take it off for health and safety reasons - some people were probably burning their fingers and then trying to sue Nail Rock, blaming them.  Anyway; I find carefully heating the stickers up for 5-10 seconds before carefully pushing them on the nail really helps them last longer as it softens the vinyl and glue, making them more pliable and easier to shape to your nail. Please don't burn your fingers though - hair dryers do blow hot hair that can burn (obvs).

I have in the past also tried other (cheaper) nail sticker brands and was very much less impressed. I found they chipped within days whereas I can keep Nail Rock on for up to 10 days, without so much as a chip. I normally only have to take it off when my nails have grown so much that you can see the growth underneath, making it look untidy, or they have started to come away at the edge and catch on clothes or hair.

The range of designs Nail Rock does is really impressive and always growing. They're available absolutely everywhere now from Topshop to Asos to Boots and many other store. They have even created diffusion lines such as Lip Rock and Eye Rock. A very fun brand and one I would continue to purchase items from! x
