Lately I'm so lazy with my nails so I wear same manicure for a week or before it's totally unwearable. :P
I had this picture saved on my laptop and when I got some things from Born Pretty Store for review I knew I'll have to try it out. Here's a picture.... :i

CND Colour in Flashpoint iced with 24K Gold Leaf as a french tip made by nail artist Candice Manacchio for CND.
My nails for sure aren't oval as these so I made a regular french tips with a gold foil because I obviously don't own real gold leaf. :P Here's what I came up with.. :i
Not really super close because my nails are squared but I like it! First I didn't want to use a coral red because I don't like corals and I thought I don't have corals in my stash but then I remembered I got one from Nina months ago so I decided to get close as I can. :)
I got a set of gold and silver gold nail art foil. You get 6 retainers of gold and 6 of silver foil. Foil is really thin so you have to be careful if you want to apply it in one piece but I needed smaller pieces so I took my tweezers to tear it apart without getting it on my fingers.
First I applied two coats of Perfect nail polish in #233, which is a coral creme. When the second layer was still tacky I placed pieces of foil on my tips with tweezers. When I was done, I sealed the foil with topcoat.

I love how sparkly it looks on sun like I dipped my nails in a gold.

So what do you think? Yay or nay? :) I definitely need to try this with pink! If you don't like foil, you can always try french tip with a gold glitter.
I saw top coats with gold pieces inside, I'm quite sure you can mix this foil with a clear top coat and made your own golden top coat. Or you just randomly place pieces of foil. .i Has anyone tried this yet?

Deletegorgeous : ) I tried mixing the gold foil in topcoat, but after a while it the gold foil loses it's colour and the topcoat turns green ; /
ReplyDeleteThank you! Oh that's bad! Well we can still tear the foil and put it randomly on nails. :P
DeleteBeautiful! Even better than the CND one!

ReplyDelete♥♥♥
Lepo :) Res luštno! :) Kako pa se obnese kaj ta folija? Zdrži dolgo?
ReplyDeleteTrenutno imam to manikuro že tretji dan in folija na nekaterih nohtih zgleda ok, na nekaterih pa je odstopila z robov, verjetno tudi zaradi bazena. :) Ni super obstojna, ampak dan dva bo pa še zdržala.
DeleteI have to be honest and say that I like YOURS better. I'm not a fan of oval or almond nails - prefer the shape you have here. Looks awesome!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Melissa! I wouldn't have them but I still love them on others. :)
Deletetole je naravnost fantastično :D I <3 it!
ReplyDeleteEdino zanima me...kakšna folija je to?
Hvala! Gre za zelo tanko zlato folijo kot list, ki naj bi bla namenjena za nail art in MU. :)
Deletehvala :)

ReplyDeletePrelijepo je <3 Imam trenutno stiletto nokte, pa čim ih prebacim na ovalni oblik, isprobat ću :)
ReplyDeleteDa, zaboravila sam pitati, kako uradiš crnu pozadinu na slikama?
ReplyDeleteHvala, na ovalnih izgleda baš predivno! :) Uvek stavim crni list u pozadinu, kad slikam. Simple as that. ^_^
DeleteTvoja verzija mi je ful bolj všeč, ker imaš mnogo lepšo obliko nohtov. Super kombinacija, zelo bogata.:)
ReplyDeleteWow!!! This looks freaking awesome!! I have to order some foil now and try this out :D Your nails are so beautiful <3
