Allo polish Pals!
How are you doing today? Do you have
any nice plans this weekend? I'm looking forward to spending more
time with my family – I'm making the most of it while I can! Next weekend we fly back to Holland. Today I am showing you some nail foils (in c-09)
from The Born Pretty Store. I actually purchased
these myself at the beginning of the year and if I am honest, I was
scared to use them; I had a few attempts and it didn't go too well
but I am so happy with this manicure! If I had to wait to show them
to you then I am glad because this turned out way better then my
previous attempts!

This manicure is so simple but looks
much more complex, I think. I began with three coats of Sinful Colors
'I'm So Nude' on all my nails and once dried I added a very small
amount of OPI's 'Snowflakes In The Air' for a little bit of sparkle.
I then used my white Oumaxi paint and my holy bamboo brush to create
some swirls. I sealed with a top coat and when I was truly sure it
was dry added beauty glue to my nail – once it had become
transparent I added a small piece of the butterfly foil on top,
smoothed it out with a q-tip and gently scraped at it with the end of
my cuticle pusher.
Once the foil easily removed I
completed the manicure with my Catrice top coat.
I am really happy
with how this turned out and my eyes are happy to see this manicure.
I love the bright colours of the foil and the subtle glitter that
pops through when in sunlight.
This foil comes in a small tube pot and
has so much foil inside, 100cm in length and 3cm wide.
What do you think of my foil
and freehand combo? Have you tried any foils?
Have a fantastic weekend!
Love
Ithi
