ERROR 404: Action required to complete bedtime routine. Remove make-up.
Because apparently getting into bed and remembering you're still wearing a full face is a recurring event.
This retro computer error-style vinyl decal is a visual reminder to take your make-up off before bed – positioned right where you need it: on the mirror. Ideal for anyone whose bedtime routine regularly gets derailed by tiredness, distraction or the overwhelming desire to simply get horizontal.
A fun little bathroom addition for forgetful brains, chaotic routines and anyone who could do with a physical reminder they can't dismiss like yet another phone notification.
Each decal is cut and weeded by hand by me at Sad Disco Club, then supplied with transfer tape already applied so it's ready to stick.

Small – longest side approx. 10cm

As proportions vary between designs, the measurement refers to the longest side of the finished decal.
Where can I stick it?
These decals work best on clean, smooth, non-porous surfaces, including mirrors, glass, tiles, windows, smooth cupboards and cabinets, and other smooth sealed surfaces.
This design is particularly good on your bathroom mirror, mirrored cabinet, dressing-table mirror or wherever you usually remove your make-up – put the reminder directly in the path of your bedtime routine.
Top tip: textured, dusty, damp or porous surfaces can prevent the vinyl from sticking properly, so smooth surfaces are your best bet.
How to apply
Make sure the surface is clean, completely dry and free from grease or dust.
Before removing the backing, firmly rub over the entire design to make sure the vinyl has adhered to the transfer tape. A squeegee works best, but a ruler or credit card works perfectly well too.
Slowly peel away the backing paper, leaving the vinyl attached to the transfer tape.
Position your decal, press it onto the surface and use your squeegee, ruler or credit card to apply firm, even pressure across the whole design. Pay extra attention to the lettering and smaller details.
Slowly peel the transfer tape back on itself rather than pulling it directly away from the surface.
If part of the design hasn't transferred: lay the transfer tape back down, apply firm pressure again and slowly retry. Some of those tiny vinyl details occasionally need a little extra persuasion.
How to remove
Gently lift an edge of the vinyl and slowly peel it back from the surface.
For stubborn vinyl, a little gentle heat from a hairdryer can help soften the adhesive. Any remaining residue can usually be removed with an appropriate surface-safe cleaner.
