Nail it

I've been a fan of nail foils for ages now and finally got my hands (or should I say nails) on a few sets! A dear friend sent some over to me from the UK and I was one excited lady when I tried them out.

Foils are really easy to use. They come with instructions, but to sum up:
Manicure you nails to begin with.
Cut the foil close to the shape of your nail, then peel it from the plasic backing and stick it to your nail.
Smooth the foil down in all directions.
For the best results use some heat (eg a hair dryer on low heat) to really smooth the foil down.
Fold any excess foil down over the edge of your nail and file away.
There you go, super hot nails!

At the moment I'm rocking a fun metalic gold, and I cant wait to try out polka dots and mini silver skull and cross bones.


There are so many fun patterns out there that you can literally go wild.

Foils have been worn by many celebrities including Katy Perry, Beyonce and Lady Gaga.
