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 LUHH10.

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.

Thank you xoxo

Lucys Stash 06/24/2013 21:45

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

Lucys Stash 06/24/2013 21:44

Aww thank you Amy!!

Lucys Stash 06/24/2013 21:43

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

Lucys Stash 06/24/2013 21:42

Have you seen some nail foil tutorials? Maybe they would help?

Lucys Stash 06/24/2013 21:41

Gorgeous products! This reminds me of something from my childhood, but I just can't for the life of me remember what.

WOW! I'm loving it! I've been wanting to give it a try for a while now, after seeing this, I really think I should just do it!

Glitteratzi 06/19/2013 03:35

Gorgeous! These are breathtaking!

Freshie 06/19/2013 01:25

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

Amy M 06/18/2013 23:10

These are incredible!

vwolfe 06/18/2013 21:06

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

Candice 06/18/2013 18:39

Stunning!

Lisa N. 06/18/2013 17:05

Wow these look amazing :)

Stephanie Indah Mulya 06/18/2013 14:38

OMG I LOVE THAT

Fernanda Berenice 06/18/2013 14:04

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 :(

Natalie 06/18/2013 13:55

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

Gillian from Plumeria19 06/18/2013 13:46

Aw this looks so cool!! The colours of the foil are lovely!!! :)

Bea's Lackladen 06/18/2013 13:28

wow! great work! i like this :)

Marta Azevedo 06/18/2013 13:15

It look's really great.
I already used nail foil, but I putted top coat on top and it looked bleck.
Thanks for the tip.

kiss

Dina Ramse 06/18/2013 13:09

Gorgeous!!

Lucys Stash 06/18/2013 13:05

Thank you Jenny :)

Lucys Stash 06/18/2013 13:04

I'll be doing a tutorial for this design (different colours tho) in the future :)

Lucys Stash 06/18/2013 13:04

Dekuju :)

Lucys Stash 06/18/2013 13:03

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

Mina 06/18/2013 13:02

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**

S. 06/18/2013 12:45

Ach, dokonalé!!!

Squeaky Q 06/18/2013 12:18

Ooh I'd really like to know how you applied it!

Jenny 06/18/2013 12:10

Um wow! I wouldn't personally wear these, but I think you rock them x
