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.

Beauty Secrets TC Fast Finish Polish Dryer

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?

Swap with Nina from Women's temptations

It's fridaaaay, yay. :) I don't know why I'm so happy about it because I've lots of study to do this weekend and a whole another week. :/

I got another amazing package days ago. :) I wanted to complete my Catherine Arley's wishlist so I asked Nina if she can get them for me. Nina has a blog at Women's Temptation and her nails are amazing - I'm loving her from the 1st post. Please check her out and of course, show some love. <3

Here's what I got. :)

Now I got all Catherine Arleys I wanted. xD Can't wait to try them all, especially Perfect polishes, I never tried them before. Thank you Nina for all this lovely pretties. I hope you'll like your goodies too when I'll be able to send them out. :k

Have you ever tried Perfect polishes? :)

Can you see what's new? I got a new background. xD I saw lots of pics with black background so I wanted to try it out. I also got a hot pink and lilac, but I think I'll use it a black for now. I also need a daylight lamp - any suggestions? And if any slovenian bloggers or readers are reading this, please let me know which one are you using. :) Once I was watching them in store but there were so many of them so I didn't know which one would be the best. :$

I also broke my thumb nail so badly yesterday. It also hurts a bit and I'm having square shape on one side and oval on the other side. :$ So annoying. :/

Thanks for reading and have a nice Friday!
