Born Pretty Store Review: Holographic Nail Foils

Greetings my polishes lovelies! Hope your week was wonderful and you're enjoying your weekend! Today I have another item for you from Born Pretty Store, Holographic Nail Foils, item #21772.

This particular set has silver holo graphic leaves on it. Perfect for fall! It comes package in a small, easy to open container. There is quite a lot of product in these tiny containers, which is great as you may have a few trial and error experiences. I will start this review by suggesting you acquire proper foil glue before using these. I followed the instructions provided on the website, which indicated that it was possible to use just regular nail polish. While this was somewhat true, I can't help but think proper glue would have lead me to be much more successful with this. Here is the result of my first attempts using the foils:

Polishes used: Loaded Lacquer Coffee Collection Mystery, Dream Polish Smooth Gem Base Coat, KBShimmer Clearly On Top Top Coat

As you can see, not a very successful attempt. Frustration set in quickly as you can imagine. What did transfer looks cool, so I kept hope alive and changed my game plan a bit.

Polishes used: Candied Apple Polish Burnt Rasberry, Creative Cuticles Nail Polish Megan, Dream Polish Smooth Gem Base Coat and Gem Glam Top Coat

Success! After talking to some fellow bloggers and getting their advice, I changed how I applied the foils. I created decals by painting a thick coat of the base polish over the design I wanted, and let it dry before peeling it off and applying to my nail. So much easier!

The pinky nail decal unfortunately lost the holo effect when I applied a layer of top coat to expedite the drying time. Lesson learned! Overall, the design is very cute and I like how it looks on the nail. 

This decal I used no top coat at all. However, I believe some of the holo effect got rubbed off in transition. Overall, it's a nice design and I like how it looks. 

This is a very cute and unique product. Another great and relatively simple way to add nail art. The roll has a lot on it, so plenty to do a lot of manis! I plan to try these again in the future with proper nail glue. I truly think this will make a huge difference and make using them much easier. 

Have a fantastic weekend my polished lovelies!!
