This time my manicure is made up of decals and foils. I really liked the look of the former (the ladies), but didn’t want a full manicure made up just of those. I wanted a little more variety I guess…Plus I had pretty new foils I wanted to try out. Foils are kind of like decals, but the application leads to spottier results and a somewhat fractured look that some people dislike, but I actually find pretty interesting…Honestly, I’m not sure how much I like these particular floral and butterfly foils over black (I think they would have been more prominent over white), but I think the result is still interesting, if not exactly what I had in mind. It’s much easier to change an outfit that looks different than what I envisioned in my head than take the time to redo a full manicure so in these cases, I usually let it be and see if I grow fonder of it in time (if not, I can always change it up later).
Thank you for reading. Be kind. Be you.
If it speaks to you, I used:
China Glaze Strong Adhesion base coat, here
China Glaze Fast Forward top coat, here
Essie black nail polish in “Licorice”, here
Ladies decals, here or similar here
Floral and butterfly nail foils, here or a set of similar here
