    Got the Ciate foil manicure set on asos for half price :) but I have to say the blue colour that comes with it I just love. 267765.jpgIt so reminds me of princess Jasmine! Just waiting for it to truly dry before I add the foils.

    So annoyed with the foil manicure!!! true to using foil when you apply a top coat (which you have to because otherwise you'd have tacky uneven nails...) the stupid top coat melts the foil making it bleed, lose shine and texture. I tried three different top coats in case it was just seche vite causing it but i'm totally disheartend. I've taken pics with and without topcoat.....267777.jpg
    No top coat with flash

    No top coat without flash. So this is what I wanted the manicure to look like!

    With top coat without flash. See how the pink has totally lost its vibrancy.

    Ok so I gave up biting my nails a few weeks ago after a 10 year habit :D and I basically only learned to paint my nails 2 weeks ago and I thought I'd give ombre nails a go :) (Sorry for the mess on the outside I just got so excited I had to take a picture :P )

    The nail polishes are essence, the light pink is 109 off to miami! and 111 english rose

    They aren't great but it was worth a try :o

    stargirl.gra I found the same problem with the foils!! The first time I used it when I added top coat it totally bled the colour and didnt dry properly. That top coat was the essence quick dry one. I also found it never dried in properly and was tacky :( ened up taking the lot off.

    SO I re did them using a different base colour (I found the green one a bit streaky!) and this time I used a different top coat - the Nails Inc save the nail one and it didn't bleed the colour at all - I've a pic of the finished result further up this thread. So I guess it just deoends on the texture of the top coat or something.

    I have been picking up confetti and putting it back down every time I've been in boots the last few weeks. Debating! That's made my decision, it's gorgeous! Will be getting that tomorrow :)

    Tried the new nail caviar from penneys! Pretty happy with it considering it was a rushed job and I gave it very little time to dry!

    Thanks Sunny Dayz, it's Catrice Londons Weather forecast, the silver is a cheapy one that came from a Rio set from Argos and essence circus confetti on top. Very simple but I'm pretty happy with it. Just wish I could sort out my awful cuticles! Nothing works for them

    A lot of those are repeated!

    Though, the Front Cover set mentioned in one picture is in TkMaxx for €20 if anyone is interested.

    You can buy it from boots.ie and get it delivered to your local boots!

    It might be stocked in some branches as well but I'm not in Dublin so I don't know.

    LV definitely has sinful colours! A nice full display too, so you can get all the colours.

    Speaking of which, I was in Dealz yesterday and got two AMAZING Sinful Colours neon polishes!

    They're so gorgeous and they are Matt! I'm wearing a colour on each hand today and a guy in lidl told me my nails were awesome :pac:
