Gradient Nail Foil Manicure feat. Born Pretty Store Nail Foils

*PR sample

Hello lovelies,

I'm very excited to show you today's nails. I've loved them so much I kept constantly looking at them and I've worn them for days! Firstly, let's take a look at the nails before I tell you more :)

So now you've seen them....aren't they gorgeous? Like colourful beetles on my nails!

I have used Born Pretty Store nail foils #21 and #24. They are gradient and there's quite a lot of them in each jar. BPS sells many different types of nail foils so you don't have to restrict yourself to the gradient ones. If you'll be shopping you can use my 10% discount code LHJ61.

The pictures were taken the next day as the pictures in light box hardly pictured the beauty of them. Because of the delay there are light cracks that appeared overnight. There's no tutorial this time but I plan to do one next time I use gradient nail foils.

Just one more thing - don't use regular topcoat on nail foils otherwise they will crinkle. Use water-based topcoat if you can get your hands on one. I'm currently testing one but it is not on sale yet so can't tell you more I'm afraid.

  3. So, that's why mine looked so disgusting and I totally disregarded them - next time I know: no topcoat! :)
    Thank you so much for the tip**

    1. Yes, topcoat crinkles them! BUT if you don't use topcoat they will get ruined very easily so the best thing to keep them nice is to use water-based topcoat

    I already used nail foil, but I putted top coat on top and it looked bleck.

  6. This is just fabulous! I love that it appears to be a foil gradient, love the idea of using two gradients to create the rainbow look. Simply gorgeous! <3

  7. Wow! It's awesome! I tried nail foils once... It was terrible :(
    My nail is not too flat and I'm not too skilled. Mix those ingredients and: FAIL!!!
    Not to mention that I dind't use foil glue that time, just a basecoat and waited to be sticky! Hahaha, I'm the worst, I know :(

  8. ive tried foil nails so many times using the adhesive they come with i cannot get the foils to separate from paper/plastic it is so annoying it just sticks to my nail entirely

    1. That is strange :-/ there are few foils i came across that did this to me. they were like leopard print, thicker than the metallic ones

  9. This turned out beautifully! I love how you can't see where the foil comes together ~

    1. Thank you! The foil is gradient by itself so I just had to place it where the colour change occurs :)
