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.

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.
