#TGPNPC ~ Untried Nail Art Supply

Hello Dahlings!

 

Have you ever had one of those days (or weeks)

where nothing goes horribly wrong

but nothing goes particularly well either?

 

I can't say this week has been horrible.

I did manage to score Smitten Polish Radiant Orchid

as well as OohLaLacquer's new neon holos,

a bunch of Sally Hansen retired previously unavailable Chromes

and 8 out of 10 of SH's new Color Foils.

(Sally Hansen released NEW chromes!!!!!)

Plus She Sells Seashells had kitty charms &

The Devil Wears Polish had an early Memorial Weekend sale.

So it wasn't a bad week at all!

 

I did however lean towards minor suckage in da nail art department.

 

 I decided to try applying craft foil to my nails.

I started with a coat of Sally Hansen Slick Black.

I sponged on 2 coats of foil glue,

letting the glue 'dry' between coats.

(This type of glue 'dries' sticky so da foil can be applied.)

I then lay da printed mylar over one nail at a time

& gently rubbed it with da flat end of a cutie stick

until da foil was on my nail rather than da mylar.

I've seen other's posts on this technique

& they all agree that tc tends to crinkle da foil.

However, not using tc guarantees that da foil will rub off.

So I added a coat of Seche Vite & it didn't crinkle it too badly.

 

 I don't like my powder room lighting for pics,

but it does show da pattern of da foil.

 

 

 

 I almost like how my thumb turned out.

Almost.

 

I may or may not try this again...I never say never.

Thanks for stopping by!

Please go show da lovins to da other Pirates!
