I have wanted to try out foils (the transferable kind) for quite a while and was excited to get the chance to try three!
These are very affordable at $2.29 USD each. They have 24 options to choose from, and each foil is 113 cm in length by 2.5 cm in width.
The foils I received are #3 a pink glitter type, #6 a purple/blue/green gradient foil, and #10 a semi-holographic silver.
I created three different manis with these to show you some various ways of using them. For the first, I started with a base of China Glaze Crimson. As per the directions on their website, I let the first coat dry, then applied a second. Once the second coat was just slightly tacky, I pressed a strip of the gradient foil randomly on the nail.
I decided to take it a little further and use the other two foils, also, so I added splotches of Orly's Bonder base coat, and repeated the process with the silver and pink.
For my second look, I started on a base of one coat China Glaze Mega Bite, topped with one coat China Glaze Blonde Bombshell. I added spots of Orly Bonder and pressed the silver foil into it, then outlined the spots with black acrylic paint for a sparkly leopard print.
Lastly, I came up with an idea to use these foils if you didn't want to bother with pressing them around on the nail or didn't have a glue/polish that works to transfer them.
On a base of Blackheart Sweet Dreams, I cut strips of the foil with pinking sheers and stuck them directly onto the nail and topcoated them.
Pressing the foils over tacky polish seems to diminish the pattern a little, but this way, the pattern is perfectly in tact and topcoat doesn't dull it. The foils are thin enough that they lay flat very easily!
