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.
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 :)
