Nail Rambles

August 30, 2011

It is time for a quick ramble about nails :D

I have a small obsession when it comes to nail colours.




Recently, things have been getting sliiightly out of hand.

I've had leopard nails, stripy nails, dotted nails, flowery nails, & lord knows what else. This crazy nail phase started a few months ago when I walked into Sephora looking for a nail colour...& stumbled across Sephora's Nail Foils. Or, as they like to call them, "Nail Patch Art".

The designs were great. I'd wanted leopard nails for a whiile, so when I saw their leopard design I thought I'd give them a go. I must admit I wasn't sure if they'd be any good...since I'd tried nail stickers before & wasn't too happy with the result.

As soon as I got home, I couldn't resist it. Slightly confused as to how they'd work/stick, I opened the pack. It turns out the patches/foils are made out of nail polish, and stick to your nail pretty easily. I wasn't too sure how I'd cut them to my size, but as soon as you stick it onto your nail, the foil starts getting softer with your body heat & becomes easy to remove the leftovers with your fingers.

So far so good. It had taken me around 20-30min to stick them on...but once they were on, I didn't need to wait for them to dry. Almost two weeks passed by, and they were still shiny. They weren't chipped or scratched, they were intact. I was very happy with how they'd lasted & also protected my nails. So I headed back to Sephora & bought the whole lot so I could wear & try out throughout the summer :D

Once you get the hang of it, they become extremely easy to apply on. I've put them on in taxis, festivals, planes (the guy sitting next to me asked if I could put them on him also..), etc.

After trying them all out & seeing how nice the result is & how long they last on, I thought I'd tell you about this little discovery & recommend it to anybody who wanted to give it a try :)

Riight. Nail rambles are over. Hope you are all having a good week!
