Allo polish Pals!
How are you, do you have any nice plans for the weekend? Tell me something exciting! I can tell you
that.. today I'm geared up for an early morning of painting, then I'll be off to play with the kids and in the evening Mr Bravo and I will be out with my parents for a meal - nice!
I have some nail art
foil to show you today, this is the first of two foils I have but I
accidently forgot my nail foil glue.. so I'll review the others when
I get back to Holland. Whoopsie-doodle. These beautiful foils came
from the Born Pretty Store, These are 'Enchanting Nail Roll Foils' in
C03.

These beautiful foil
rolls came with a gorgeous flower pattern containing pink, orange,
blue and green flowers with a delicate holographic leafy trim. These
little tubes contain approximately 100cm in length and are 4cm in
width. That means you get so many uses out of these foils! They also come in so many beautiful patterns and designs - my favorite so far has been the butterfly foil I showed you previously. I've more information for you so lets read on!
Now, if you have any
experience with holographic nail foils... You may have encountered a
situation with applying top coat on top. I have found this a problem
and have tried many different brands of top coat. After much
foil-frustration (not specifically with these, but generally any holo
foils) I read somewhere online that applying your foil glue on top
on top of your foiled nails before adding a top coat will preserve
the holo affect when you go to apply your top coat. I can say it
seems to be true.
But
– and this is the sad part... my camera has always hated
holographic things, it barely seems to help going out in natural
light so I am so sorry that what looks dull and silvery here isn't a
solid representation of the holo within the foil.
After
applying my Nail Envy base coat, I applied two coats of Jacava's
'Holbein Place'. I then fired up and episode of Modern Family and
patiently waited for my nail glue to dry clear so I could begin
adding the foil on top. I cut small pieces large enough to fit my
nail and gently added it to the center of my nail with the pattern
and holo facing up. I then gently used a cotton bud to smooth over
the whole foil until it started to lift off. I finished by adding
another coat of the nail glue and finally, once clear again I added
my top coat. For a little extra I added a white acrylic border around
my nails.
What
do you think of the floral foil? How do you feel about foils – yay
or nay?
Have
a wonderful day!
Love

Foils are beautiful but that white border around it is making these mani very eye catchy. Well done. :-)
ReplyDeleteHow pretty this is!!
ReplyDeleteI like frames, nice to see them here.
ReplyDeletevery artistic design, almost like small floral pictures :)
ReplyDeleteI like the floral design!
ReplyDeleteI have never tried to apply the foil glue over the foil, but I should try. I heard that there are some top coats that can be applied over the foils without making them crackle like Tammy Taylor A coat, but I didn't try it yet.
Nice mani, I do like them :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's soooo pretty. :-)
