Nail of the Day: China Glaze "Frostbite" and Starburst Blue Foil

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

This is another one of the foils that I purchased from Dollar Nail Art. This is a really pretty foil

This is how this particular foil turned out on my nails:

I would describe this foil as a royal blue foil with a starburst pattern covering the entire length of the foil. This pattern can also be seen in Gold Starburst foil. The starbursts then reflect teal, light and dark blue and green depending on which way the light hits it creating a holographic effect

As a base for this foil, I used China Glaze "Frostbite" which is a medium dark royal blue with blue shimmer.

Nail of the Day: China Glaze "On The Prowl" and Tanzanite Fire Foil

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

Here is another one of the trials of the foils I bought from Dollar Nail Art. This one is a bright purple holographic foil called Tanzanite Fire.

This is how the foil turned on my nails:

I'd describe Tanzanite Fire as a deep red based purple with a pattern on it resembling water in a pond. The ripple like effect on this foil reflects blue, purple, punk and red depending on where the light hits it creating a really pretty holographic reflect

As a base for this foil, I used China Glaze "On The Prowl" which looks like this:

Nail Art Foil Collection: Greens

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

I was a little upset when I looked at the foils avaliable on Dollar Nail Art and there were not that many foils in green. I have found this with many nail polishes too that they don't produce a wide variety of green polishes within any company. Oh well.

In this post I will be showing you product photos, close ups of each foil and also giving you a short description on what I think they foils look like.

Nail of the Day: China Glaze "DV8" and Peacock Dazzle Foil

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

This was my first time using nail art foils and I wanted to try out one of the first foils that caught my eye when I opened my package from Dollar Nail Art. I applied a base colour of China Glaze "DV8" over my entire nail then applied Peacock Dazzle nail foil over the top

 This was the end result:

You can see in the photo above the holographic nature of DV8. I felt that it was a really good match for the foil.

The last two images show you the ripple pattern in this foil. It kind of reminds me of ripples on water.

This is China Glaze "DV8", the colour I used as a base for these nails

Nail Art Foils Collection: Gold Foils

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

As I said with my previous post, the following is a list of the nail art foils that I purchased from Dollar Nail Art. I decided that I would seperate the foils by their colour and make postings for each grouping making it easier for you to look through them and decide which ones you would like to purchase if you choose to do so.

If you do not know what nail foils are or how to use them please follow this link to see my Introduction to Nail Foils post.

This post will contain all the foils in the gold spectrum. I've also included a short description of the foil along with the photos giving my description of them. I've decided to start with the solid colours first and then work my way through them that way. I found that the solid metallic foils such as White Gold were quite hard to photograph because my camera wasn't able to focus on them as they were so reflective, therefore their photos are just a good representation of what colour they are.

Nail of the Day - June 3rd, 2010

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

So, it is officially my 21st birthday in 35 minutes and these are the nails that I have decided to wear for the day. As most of you probably know by now, my favorite colours are teal, purple and orange (weird combo I know), so I decided to use a teal colour as the background of my manicure.

Being that I am turning 21 and I don't feel like I deserve it, and I am still a big kid at heart (I have actually been watching old Disney cartoons for the past three days), I wanted to add something to the nails that was a little immature and kind of girly. I had seen a blog post made by FAB UR NAILS a while ago that I really loved and the colour I used for the manicure inspired me.

This is the finished nail look:

Nail of the Day - December 27th, 2009

 EDIT: I am no longer making posts in this domain. Please follow me over to www.walkinmyeyeshadow.com to keep following my makeup journey

This is a nail design that I came up with on the spot the other day. I wanted to do a black nail with nail art but wasn't sure what kind of Konad design to use. I decided on using the plate with the tiger stripes (I'll get the number later I am feeling lazy atm) and stamp it over the nail with some of the polish from the China Glaze OMG Collection.
