Foil Explosion !!!

Today I want to share a couple of different looks with you. I had extra time to play with my nails and I've been wanting to try out the rest of my foils. I know many of you find foils difficult to work with, so I tried out the non-metallic foils which are a lot easier to apply. All of the foils were purchased by me from Dollar Nail Art.

The first look is called White Marble. I used WnW white as a base to achieve this elegant look. Love, love, love!!!
Fifth Avenue is a blue/grey foil with a slight shimmer. I must admit I tried this one out because of the name.

Smokey silver is just that, hot and sizzling!!! It is a metallic foil but its not as bright as the holographic foils. There is no rainbow effect, which I like. I found it while looking for a non-holographic gold for my teacher. Well I didn't find a bland gold but I discovered this hot silver! Very minx like, don't you think?



That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!!!

    thanks so much Thriszha. my biggest tip is to allow the glue to dry completely (2-3min), then rub while holding the foil in place, until all of it is transferred to the nail.

    Wow all of them look amazing! I think I like the third one best, they really look like minx. And may I say, you are so good at handling foils. My attempts so far have all failed :(

    YouKnow, thanks for following me!!!

    Cel, you'll get it soon. It took me a while to get the hang of it.

    AnnKlin's, I really like the roses too, probably because it reminds me of DH :)

    KarenD, I'll be giving away foils again very soon because I know they are so hard to find/order.
