Distressed Gold Nail Foil Design with TUTORIAL

Hello lovelies,

Happy St. Patrick's Day! I thought I would do a simple green and gold nail design with tutorial today. I've prepared a distressed nail foil design which is very simple to do and all you'll need is a polish, nail foil glue, nail foil and topcoat good for nail foils (water-based topcoat is best).

I'm using OPI AmazON...AmazOFF as a base colour which is great for today as well especially when combined with gold foil. Mine is from Rio Beauty from this set. As always, I'm using water-based topcoat but I still didn't find a good replacement and I'm running out :( I have an oil-based top coat from Rio Beauty that does work but it dries even longer than the water-based one.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of you! Love, Lucie x

It's so pretty !! I wonder if adding a matte top coat might have made a difference ..

I love this look! Thank you for the tutorial. I'm going to search for a water based top coat, as I have never heard of it before.

This is beautiful! When I get the nerve up to try a foil mani I will be coming back to reference your tutorial for sure!

I'd love to see what you'll create :)

This is beautiful! I have to try it some day.
I've herd piCture pOlish - Revolution is used by some people as a top coat over foils.

I'll see where I can get it :) Thanks

Hey Lucy! Absolutely LOVE this look! I think I'm going to try it out too, when my nails get longer! Regarding a topcoat that doesn't crinkle foils, look what I found a while ago http://mylucidbubble.blogspot.com/2012/09/a-topcoat-that-works-for-nail-foils.html The solution she found works great (I tried it, photos here http://mypsychonails.blogspot.com/2013/12/liquid-gold-for-new-year-aur-lichid.html), doesn't take a long time to dry and you get enough topcoat for countless manicures! Hope this helps!

Thank you, I'll check it all out!

Beautiful colors! I did one manicure with foil.
Here is picture http://instagram.com/p/jZdT0uRs68/ (sorry if I am not let to post any pictures here, but just want to show you)
Hope you won't mind if I'll try your manicure and nail design ideas on my mom's hands :)

Ok then :) Thanks for explaining everything! ♥

Lucy s Stash Nail Art 03/17/2014 16:52

It's all right, no worries. This is ok. if you would just advertise your blog or page that is considered spamming but this is fine :)

It looks like your nails were dipped in gold. Pretty!

Lucy s Stash Nail Art 03/17/2014 16:52

Marieta García 03/17/2014 15:10

Nice, girl. I love your tutorial. I love this gold nail foil design.

Lucy s Stash Nail Art 03/17/2014 15:19

Thank you :)

It's like a beautiful antique look (in love with OPI AmazON...AmazOFF - great choice ;))
Video tutorial - says ohhhh! - really happy you're investing in these :D
I've done something similar to this only it was over black and only because it was the only way for me to use foil without a)going insane or b)chucking the foil roll into fire and watch it burn :P

Lucy s Stash Nail Art 03/17/2014 15:19

Thank you very much :) Foils do require a little bit of practice if you want precise shapes but they are not that hard to work with :)
