Decal Recommendations?

I've been playing with Broadway's water-activated nail decals and I'm wondering if there's a better brand. The silver ones tend to disintegrate when I use too much/too little topcoat; maybe I'm applying too much water to the paper peel-off backing. The copper decals seem to hold up better, but I don't like the way they look on top of red-based polish. (Too orange for my skin tones.) I haven't been able to put my greedy little paws on a pack of gold decals yet.

The only other brand I've seen in my neck of the woods (Salt Lake City, Utah) is Kiss, which is styled for teenagers and ultraperky types. I'm a bit too world-weary to sport Winnie the Pooh and smiling daisies on my fingertips. Sophisticated florals, non-cutesy insects, and Art Nouveau-ish abstracts are more to my taste. Can anyone point me toward some resources?

Uh, don't try replying by personal e-mail. I'm getting my web fix through the local library system until my own computer is healthy again. (yeah, yeah, it's pathetic.)

My Favorites:
Solid silver decals on a midnight blue or royal purple base. Solid copper decals on matte white; filligreed copper or silver decals on black. These combinations are striking enough for clubbing, subtle enough for the coporate day job, and elegant enough for romantigoths.
