AFFORDABLE NAIL STRIPS : Nail Foils

I picked up a couple of Nail Strips in Landmark, TriNoma (see the haul post here).

They've just brought it in and I am ever so happy that they've leveled-up their stock.

GNDG Nail Foils 

(doesn't have the design number)

Comes with 16 Nail Strips in various sizes.

P29.75

INGREDIENTS (Glue):

Epoxy Resin, Acrylates, Copolymer, 

Tris-BHT Mesitylene, Xylene, Potassium,

Cumene Sulfonate

HOW TO USE:

1) Peels the strip off gently. It may tear if you work on it too hard.

2) Make sure that your nails are clean. I can't put it on bare nails.

Here, I have a base coat on. 

3) Position it on the sides first (make sure to pick the strip that's the closest match to your nail bed).

Hold it on that side and pull it over your nail then smooth it out.

4) File and press down for a few seconds to secure it.

I'm new to this so the nails aren't perfect.

Nonetheless, it's very pretty.

My problem is major tip wear. Even if I file it off perfectly, it's still showing major tip wear.

THE FEELS

You do feel that you have strips on.

It's a bit annoying but not comfortable.

If you have tips on how to make my technique better,

Chic Nail Color in Bluebell Grape 10ml for P30.75

It's a warm toned blue with a cream finish.

This is my SUMMER BLUE 2014! 

It's easy to apply - the formula is divine.

The only problem is that it shows major tip wear after a couple of days (see below).

Just layer on a good top coat to fix that. 

What's your SUMMER BLUE?

Nail Fun! Part 2 Sticker Nail Decals

Have you seen Part 1?

I got these Nail Stickers from the same sari-sari store for P10.

There are two sets of decals and one set of nail foil on here.

I used the foil as well but couldn't find the shots for it >.<

If you're up for some Nail Foil fun, choose the foil that best fits your nail beds.

Generally, nail foils can be stretched out a bit. 

So, always pick the foil that is a bit smaller than your nail bed than a bit bigger.

(On my Nail : OMG Oh my Golly Nail Lacquer in Champagne, read about it here.)

Here, I'm opting for the sticker decal instead.

This is a lovely accent to any nail.

I'm really bad at drawing designs on nails so this is a wonderful option :)

Gently peel off the sticker and...

Stick it on your nails - Voila!

Lather on a layer of top coat and you're done!

(On my Nail : OMG Oh my Golly Nail Colors by Klik in Disco Ball. Read about it here.)

Because the design is intricate, I prefer to use decals on statement nails (instead of all my nails).

The product above will not last long.

You can remove it with nail polish remover on a cotton ball.

Have you dabbled in some nail faun lately?
