Pikachu laptop decal

Hey,

Wow! I've noticed I've been really inactive this week and that's due to being in school, so I'll most likely be posting on the weekends if I'm not studying or anything =(. But you're in luck!! Recently I received a pikachu decal in my mail from the oh so lovely amazon so I guess this post will be a review/show off/tips ;3

Here is the beautiful product:

(So Cute!!)

Now don't be fooled by it looks, this was a bitch to put on, the struggle was real. This is due to the fact I live on an island in the middle of nowhere, so all my shipments take a minimum of 2 weeks to get here and also the humidity is intense. Therefore, there were loads of bubbles in the sheet.

I didn't know anything on how to put it on so I went in blind. It came as one sheet with two layers (clear and a white back) so I peeled of a bit of the translucent layer first but realised something was very wrong. I was pretty sure that the actual decal should of been on the clear side but mine was on the white side, so I couldn't see where I was putting it.

So with my trusty skills I went to youtube/google for help, lo and behold I was right, it's supposed to be on the clear side. Now, the video I watched didn't really show what to do when it's stuck to the other side so I looked to the comment section for answers but they said that it was due to humidity and the sheet had bubbles that lifted it off the paper so I would have to wait a few days for the bubbles to disappear, there was no way I could wait for that so I ventured onwards for the key.

After about 30 minutes of looking I finally found out a way to do it but the instructions were for a car decal, but their basically the same I thought. The site said to use a credit/debit card to scrape the bubble out, but due to my age I resorted to a trusty iTunes card.

I scraped and scraped and scraped but the piece of shit was still stuck to the other side but I proceeded to scrape for another 10 minutes 'til i went on youtube again. I found out I had wasted an overall 15 minutes scrapping the wrong side, I scrapped the front instead of the back so another 5 minutes later I was able to peel it very, very slowly until all the decal was on the right side and I stuck it on to my laptop with super precise power and BOOM! My decal was finally on and looking super cute!(≧▽≦)  

There was a few bubbles but they disappeared after a couple days, and you might not be able to tell but one of the ears has an indent which accidentally happened because I rushed.
Once I get another one I'll post it here on how to do it but here are the things I found that helped:

Looking back on it, all the sites I used and videos I checked out were also scraping the clear side so I don't know where I got the idea to do the back but that just worked better for me. 

Anyway guys, 
Bye-Bye

P.S I'll leave a link to where I got it on Amazon! Also this didn't turn out exactly like a review but i'm labeling it as a review on how hard it fucking was.
