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:
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.
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!!
