I used Sephora by OPI It's Hippo to Be Square on all the nails. While the second coat of polish was still a bit tacky and not fully dried, I quickly dabbed and applied a green foil to create the effect on the nails. Didn't finish with any top coat so the foil will still be shiny on the nails.
For my first nail foil manicure, I thought these turned out pretty good. I'm very interested in creating more nail foil manicures since the super shiny effect they have on the nails is cool. I might even mix more than one nail foil together too. What do you think?
I actually like the look of more foil... I'm used to see it used more sparingly like flakes, but this really gives it that distressed, peeled off with age look! Pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! I really like the look of the foil too. I'm totally going to give it another try.
DeleteI like this! I've never used foils before, but I love the way this looks!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It looks so cool, you should give it a try if you can.
DeleteI really like the colors together! I like using foil too its pretty easy and gives a nice effect. I need to get special foil top coat first though otherwise it just gets wrecked :(
ReplyDeleteThanks! Great to hear you like using nail foil too. I didn't even try to apply my regular top coat on top since I've heard it it ruins the effect. Its too bad though since these nails didn't last that long on me.
DeleteI like the way this looks, sorta like distressed nails.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nadia!
DeleteI love your colour combo, I would have never thought of these 2 together.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I just randomly thought they would look good together.
DeleteThese look awesome! I've always wanted to try nail foil before. I might have to go order some now haha (:
ReplyDeleteThanks! You should, there pretty affordable and you only need a little sheet to cover all the nails. I'm planning to order some more soon myself.
Deletei like the foil... even I want to try using a foil...haven't tried using it before..
ReplyDeleteThanks Sailee! You should try out nail foil then, there so affordable too.
DeleteYou made mood to use nail foils. The effect of them is great on your nails! I like the color combo too!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteI think these are nice especially being your first time doing a foil mani!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot!
Deleteit turned out so nice!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThis is so pretty! I never would've thought to pair the purple polish with green foils, but it looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah! I thought they would look good together so I'm happy that they did.
