Peacock Gradient and Stamp, Oh my!

I love this bold design. It stands out and looks great.

This is Sally Hansen's HD Resolution, Gradient Sponge painted with Sally Hansen's HD Cyber. Then I stamped it with Bundle Monster's Peacock feather all over stamp.

I was able to wear this to a girl's day pool party and everyone loved it and now they want me to do their nails. Unfortunately I do not do people's nails for them, but will gladly show them how easy it can be.

Pink Wednesday with a hint of Grey

You may think that the title is misleading, but it's not I swear!

This is 2 coats of NYC Fuchsia Shock Creme, with 1 coat Wet & Wind Grey's Anatomy on top.

You can see at the different angles is has a shimmer on it. I love using Grey's Anatomy as a layer over top of other colors. Especially the ones I do not like as much. :) Grey's Anatomy itself is fairly boring, so if you thought about not getting it, I would recommend it even just for this use.

Nail Foils Collection and Descriptions - Miscellaneous Foils

This is the final post for my nail foils collection. There has been a lot to go through so I am kind of thankful that I've gotten to the end. All of these foils were purchased by me from Dollar Nail Art. In this post I will be showing you product photos, close up images and brief descriptions of each of the nail foils based on what I think they look like.

If you do not know what nail art foil is or how to use it please follow this link here to my Introduction to Nail Foils post for more information.

 Black Raven:

Black Raven is a glossy black foil. There is no pattern to it at all, it is ust solid colour.

 Camouflage:

Camouflage is a matte foil which is made up of grey, khaki and green blocks of colour. The pattern of this is sort of like an 8bit version of the camouflage that army officers wear, fairly interesting.

 Champagne:

Like the name Suggests, Champagne is a matte creamy gold colour. It didn't fit in with the gold shades so I just decided to add it to this lot.

 Opal Glitter:

Opal Glitter is a transparent foil with a dot pattern over it. The dots that cover the entire length of the foil reflect a rainbow holographic depending on how the light hits it. As this foil is transparent, it can be applied over any base and create interesting designs thus making it very versatile.

 Opal Swirl:

Like Opal Glitter, Opal Swirl is a transparent foil. The pattern on this foil is similar to that of water ripples which reflect a rainbow holographic design depending on how the light hits it. Like Opal Glitter, this foil is very versatile and can be used over any nail polish base. I tried it out over a black base and it looked like an oil slick, so awesome!

 Snake Skin:

Snake Skin is exactly what the name suggests. This foil is semi-transparent with a black and grey snake skin pattern to it. Like the previous two foils, it can be applied over any coloured base to create an interesting design. This is probably my favorite foil of them all!

 White Marble:
Another foil that is exactly what its name suggests, White Marble is a white based foil with a soft brown marble veining through it. It isn't really that impressive as it reminds me of floor tiles, not something I'd really want on my nails lol.

Nail Foils Collection and Descriptions - Rainbow Foils

Now we get to the interesting foils. These are the rainbow ones which I absolutely LOVE! Some of them have a silver base to them but I decided that they fit more into the rainbow category. These foils were all purchased by me from Dollar Nail Art. In this post I will be showing you product photos, close up images and a brief description of what these foils look like to me.

If you do not know what nail art foil is or how to use it please follow this link here to my Introduction to Nail Foils post for more information.

Marbles:

Marbles is also a silver based foil with highly reflective qualities to it. This foil has random round shapes of overlapping colour blocks all over the silver base. The different colours created by the overlapping blocks of colour creates an almost stained glass window effect to the foil.

Primary Colours:

Primary Colours is litterally a rainbow along the entire length of the foil. It is not extremely reflective like the silver based foils previously mentioned in this post. There is nothing else I can really say about this one lol.

Rainbow Drops:

Rainbow Drops is a pretty light silver based foil with splotches of random shaped rainbow reflection. The effect that this foil has on the nail is similar to splotches of oil on concrete almost.

Rainbow Swirl:

Like Rainbow Drops, Rainbow Swirl also has a light silver base to it but the has a swirling pattern to it of rainbow awesomeness. This foil is highly reflective and when applied to the nail it looks exactly like spilled oil, its so AWESOME!!!! To see this foil in use, please follow the link here to tartofraises1‬‎'s blog post.

 Tie-Dye Surprise:

Tie-Dye Surprise looks like something straight from the 60's! This light silver based foil is highly reflective and has different splotches of tie-dye colour all over the length of the nail. The pattern of colours can almost be described as someone throwing water bombs filled with different coloured paints at a chrome surface. Awesome!

 Wrapping Paper:

Wrapping Paper is a highly reflective foil with a rainbow running going along the width of the foil. It is similar to Primary Colours except the colour gradient isn't as nice.

Nail Foils Collection and Descriptions - Silver Foils

The next installment in my nail foil series is the silvers. These foils were all bought by me from Dollar Nail Art with my own money. In this post I will be providing product photos, close up photos and also a breif description of what they look like to me.

If you do not know what nail art foil is or how to use it please follow this link here to my Introduction to Nail Foils post for more information.

 Disco Ball:

Disco ball is very similar in colour and pattern to Silver Dots only the dots in this foil are more oval shaped. They still give off the same rainbow holographic effect and the glitter-like appearence on the nail that Silver Dots does. There is no point in purchasing both of these foils as they are so similar and I would personally go for the Silver Dots because it gives off more of that gorgeous holographic rainbow reflect.

 Fiber Optics:

Fiber Optics is very similar to the nail foil Green Lightbeams. This foil has a light silver base to it with lightbeams of rainbow holographic awesomeness running along the length of the foil. When the light hits this foil, it gives off more of a rainbow reflect than Green Lightbeams because it reflects the WHOLE rainbow not just the cooler tones of it.

 Fifth Avenue:

Fifth Avenue is a gunmetal grey based foil with light silver cross-hatching along the entire length of the foil. This is a matte foil and doesn't have the same sort of reflective qualities that the other silver foils have. It is a very conservative foil and kind of reminds me of a pattern you would see in a business suit or something similar.

 Florentine Marble:

Florentine Marble is very similar to its gold equivalent Roman Marble. This highly reflective light silver based foil has shiney black marbling throughout it creating a smokey effect. This is one of my favorite foils.

 Silver Crush:

Like Gold Crush or Diamond Red, this foil has a crushed tile pattern along the entire length of the nail with a light silver base. The tiles in this foil reflect a multicoloured holographic rainbow of awesomeness on the nail that is really eye catching in the sunlight.

 Silver Dots:

Silver Dots is a light silver based foil with a dotted pattern along the entire length of the foil. These dots reflect a rainbow holographic effect depending on how the light hits it. This foil takes on a glitter like appearence when applied to the nail. To see this foil in use, please follow the link here to tartofraises1‬‎'s blog post.

 Silver Spectrum:

Silver Spectrum is exactly like the foil Gold Spectrum only it has a silver base instead of a gold one. This foil likes to create a rainbow holographic effect on the nail. When applied to the nail it give s a flashing lightbeam effect along the length of the nail.

 Silver Starburst:

Silver Starburst, as the nail suggests, is ver similar to Blue Starburst except it has a light silver base to it. The starburst pattern on this foil reflects a rainbow holographic effect to the nail depending on how the light hits it. This foil would be really nice for a Christmas or Winter based nail art design.

 Silver:

Silver foil is the most reflective and high shine foil out of all my foils. The surface resembles a mirror and you can actually see your reflection in the surface of the foil. This was a really difficult one to get a photo of because it wanted to reflect my camera and its flash so the close up image is slightly blurred, but you can still see the colour fairly true to form. There is no pattern to this foil it is just a solid

 Smokey Silver:

Like Silver, Smokey Silver is a mirror-like, high shine foil that likes to reflect everything. It is a slightly darker silver than that of Silver foil, hence the name Smokey Silver. There is no pattern to this foil, it is just a solid colour.

Nail Foils Collection and Descriptions - Green Foils

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.

If you do not know what nail art foil is or how to use it please follow this link here to my Introduction to Nail Foils post for more information.

 Elven Gold:

Elven Gold is a mix of moss green, a deep forest green and gold. The look of this foil is similar to using the sponge technique to apply nail polish. This is a matte foil also and isn't reflective like Emerald or Seafoam Green.

 Emerald Frost:

Emerald Frost is an emerald green based foil with a water ripple pattern to it similar to Scarlet Frost or Tanzanite Fire. The ripples of this pattern throw out holographic flashes of green, teal, blue and gold as the light hits it.

 Emerald Green:

As its name suggests, Emerald is a metallic emerald green foil with mirror like reflect to it. This foil has no patter and is only a solid colour foil.

 Green Lightbeam:

Green Lightbeam as the name suggests is an emerald green based foil with lines of holographic lightbeams along the width of the nail. The lightbeams reflect green, teal, blue and gold depending on how the light hits it. To see a photo of this foil and a short video of light hitting the foil please check out Tartofraises1‬‎'s video and blog post here.

Lime AB is another foil that is similar to Gold Spectrum but with a lime green base. As the light hits this foil it reflects teal, dark green and blue.

Nail Foils Collection and Descriptions - Blue and Teal Foils

The next installment of my nail art foil collection from Dollar Nail Art is the blue and teal foils. I bought these foils using my own money. This post will consist of product photos, close up images of each foil and a brief description.

If you do not know what nail art foil is or how to use it please follow this link here to my Introduction to Nail Foils post for more information.

 Aqua AB:

Aqua AB is another foil similar to Gold Spectrum as it reflects a rainbow flash depending on how the light hits it. This rainbow reflection give a holographic effect to the foil. When applied to the nail it creates rainbow flashes across the nail.

 Blue Mist:

Blue Mist is a little lighter than Sapphire and a little more on the grey blue side. It is a mirror like reflecting metallic foil with no pattern only solid colour. As Sapphire and Blue Mist are so similar, there is no need to purchase both. I would recommend Sapphire over Blue Mist though because it is a nicer blue.

 Electric Blue:

As the name suggests, Electric Blue is just that, a solid electric blue foil which has a mirror line metallic finish to it. Like Sapphire and Blue Mist, this foil has no pattern and it just solid colour.

 Gradient Crush:

Gradient Crush is a electric blue foil that fades into a nice emerald green as you go across the width of the foil. The pattern on this foils is similar to Diamond Red or Gold Crush in the tile effect. The tiles reflect blue, green, teal and slightly purple depending on which way the light hits it giving this foil a holographic effect.

 Ocean Mist:

Ocean Mist is a mirror like reflecting foil which changed from orange, gold, red, green teal and blue depending on which way the light touches it. It also has an almost leopard print look to the patterning which in turn changes different colours to the background depending on how the light touches it. This is definitely the more unique foil of the lot.

 Pacific Blue:

Pacific Blue is an electric medium blue foil that reflects blue, light blue, teal and green depending on where the light hits it. This rainbow reflections creates a holographic effect on the nail.

 Peacock Dazzle:

Peacock Dazzle is more of blue based teal colour with a water ripple like pattern covering the entire length of the foil. The ripple pattern of this foil sends out flashes of teal, light and dark blue and purple depending on where the light hits it creating a holographic look on the nail.

Sapphire is a royal blue foil with a mirror like reflecting metallic finish. There is no pattern to this foil only solid colour.

 Starburst Blue:

Like its name suggests, Starburst Blue is 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.

 Teal:

Teal is like its name suggests also, a blue green foil with mirror like metallic finish. This is more on the blue side than a green like some other teal colours you can get. If you want to see this foil in action, please check out Miss80Million's tutorial on Youtube here.
