Born Pretty Gold and Silver Foil

Oh I sooo ♥ Fall weather!!!! It has finally started to get a little cooler here and is really started to feel like Fall!!!! and in celebration of this change I did some super easy nail art with Born Pretty Gold foil!!!  

*press sample*

I paired the Gold foil with Zoya India and put a top coat over and DONE!!! Super Easy:) 

Now the foil is super thin and definitely fragile!!!! The only look it is really feasible to be used for is this:( but it does lay flat on the nail and looks freaking fantastic, not to mention you get 6 gold and 6 silver for less than $6 @ Born Pretty Store (use RWL91 for 10% off your purchase)!!!!  What do you think of this look??? Perfect for Fall right!!!

Deviantly Daring with Gold Foil!!!!

So for today's Mani I used one of my Copious Scores!!!! I mean really a penny for this awesome color!!!! You can't beat it!!!! If you haven't signed up you can HERE:)  Did I mention that when you sign up you get $10 in free credits!!!!  The Polish I used is from China Glaze's New Bohemian Luster Chrome Collection this fab color is called "Deviantly Daring",  a very shimmery blue green. Beware this polish will streak and leave brush strokes:) It is very opaque and you get complete coverage in one coat (probably a good stamping polish, although I haven't tried it yet). 

 I have been wanting to try more things with my foils, so I decided I would try and stamp them. MASSIVE FAIL!!!! The adhesive smears really bad so that is a NO GO!!!!  So I decided a little free hand was in order. and it is a WIN!!! I wanted some gold zebra type stripes kinda rustic and messy and that is exactly what I got!!! I Love it!!!!

 I used SV as the top coat, hoping it would crackle more, but guess what it didn't:)  So WIN there too!!! As I have been trying to find a top coat that doesn't crinkle it as bad. So what do you guys think??? Do you use foils??? What is your favorite thing to do with them???

Foil Tips:) Semi FAIL

So this mani is not a Total FAIL... Just a semi one:) I was rushed and went about it the wrong way!!!! I didn't let my base color dry totally, put my top coat on tooo fast and didn't clean up the foil edges:(   But despite all of the above it still looks pretty cool and achieved exactly what I wanted:)  So for the base color I used Julep "Robin", I am so loving Teal right now:) and them I taped tips and foiled them with "Ocean Mist" foil that I got from www.dollarnailart.com. Then I added Holo Top Coat 20 (I got this on Copious) on the entire nail:) I was pleasantly surprised that this didn't crinkle the foil very much:)  Hope you guys are having a great weekend!!!! ♥ Pinked Polish

Nail Foils!!!!!

Inside Natural Light before TopCoat

So a couple of weeks ago I saw Nail Foils on Pinterest, I was in awe of how shiny they were:) I ♥ Shiny so I had to get some!!! I ordered some from www.dollarnailart.com and they came in today!!! The selection is fab and each roll of foil was $1 and they had all kinds of other nail art supplies for $1 hence the name Dollar Nail Art:)  So I youtubed the "how to" on nail foils and when from there. I started with a base coat of polish close to the foil color and then once that was dry I put on the foil adhesive (this take about 1 min to dry) then applied the foil and ripped it off:) it is super shiny. Per my internet research I used a regular top coat (not quick dry) because quick dry will make it crinkle. and well it crinkled anyway:( So If you have a good topcoat to use on Foils let me know!!!!!  The foil color I used is called Blue Mist:) I am really happy with the results, now all I need is a top coat to use with the foils!!!! Let me know what you guys think and any tips you may have!!!! Have a fab weekend:)  ♥ Pinked Polish

Inside Artificial Light before TopCoat

Update:  Wet and Wild Top Coat works:) it still crinkles some but not too much:) way better than SV or Gelous or SH Strenghting topcoat and it was only .99 cents:)
