I Feel Like I'm Fallin' for Fall Nail Foils

Hello gorgeous! Hope you're doing well tonight. I wanted to share a foil design I did a week or so ago. I was trying to show how you can accomplish different effects with nail foils by changing the base color. The effect is not as strong as I had hoped, but if you look closely, you may notice that the background of the foil gets darker from the index to the pinky. The effect is seen mainly through the flowers (white, silver, brown, black).

I choose white, silver, brown and black for base colors.

This is the free foil I received for purchasing 4. I probably would have never picked it myself but I like it because it puts me in the mood for the Fall. It has a silver base with gold & orange accents.


In other news, I'm slightly behind in responding to comments (sorry about that). I've been working 10-12 hour days with little sleep. I have to get up at 5am and my body, and mind, just isn't built to function that early in the morning, lol. I'll respond to your comments very soon. Thanks for stopping by and hope you're having a great week!

    I just discovered your blog and I really love it! I also love foils, but have not seen that many others that use it before. It is really a great way of getting a spectacular mani without too much effort!
