Practice makes perfect right? I’ve decided to do a foil manicure again and I think I’m doing it properly this time because there’s only a few bald spots compared to my previous red glitter foil mani which failed miserably!

One of my favourite foils! Look how sparkly that is!!

Not bad uh, the bald spots isn’t that visible compared to the previous one right??

Ok so… … these were without a topcoat. I actually did try one nail with Seche Vite, but this topcoat doesn’t seem to work on the foil because it loses its shine after application :( so I think the best thing about foil is, you don’t have to use a base coat or a top coat!!! BIG BONUS: YOUR NAILS WILL NOT GET STAINED. My nails are horrible, I should post up a picture of my bare nails. Lol, because I always feel like my nails give off the vibe ‘I AM A SMOKER’ (not offence, please!)

Anyway, I went to shower after I did my manicure and low and behold: SEVERE TIP WEAR!!! This goes to show foil manicures only last a few hours unless you find a perfect topcoat to seal it in!

Haha ok I know I shouldn’t go to bathe after doing a fresh manicure but I’m gonna redo this manicure anyway :)

So more foil manicures coming up!!!! :D

I got my nail foils today!!!!! :D finally I saw someone selling it online and decided to grab two sets! (because by buying two sets I get 3 free bottles of foil! I AM IMPULSIVE LIKE THAT LOL) It comes with a bottle of free glue for each set, all at just $10.80/set! I’ll definitely do a tutorial once I’ve got the hang of it!

But for now, pic spam!

So as you can tell, I am pretty excited about these nail foils and went to try on as soon as I got home! My favourites are Fuchsia Fantasy, Disco Ball, Aqua AB, White Marble and Gold Starburst, what’s yours?

And this is the result:

I used Red Glitter because I’m having like a red base for my nails! As you can see, there’s still some bald spots :( pretty easy to use so I’m going to try a few more times to get the hang of it! I heard using a cotton swat to smooth down the foil will decrease the probability of bald spots but… I used it and the result is still like this!!!

Nevermind, its my first try anyway! :)

Thanks for reading! (you can buy the foils from: http://www.dollarnailart.com/cat_pages/foils.html)
