Happy Monday everybody! Did you all have a great weekend?
Today's theme is foil and I had no clue what to do with this theme. I don't own any nice foil finish polishes and I don't own any nail foils. So I took to the internet and discovered that you can actually do a nice mani with aluminum foil. I saw gorgeous pictures of smooth, mirror like mani's and decided to give it a go.
I mean, just look at this:

I think every picture that looks like the one I just showed you is misleading though, it has to be, because my final result didn't look anything like the picture above, not even close! It was crinkled and just plain ugly. I don't even want to show it to you and I've shown you some ugly nail art before! But this one... nope... not going to happen!
By the time I did my last nail (pinky), I started to get the hang of it, well, kind of, but it still wasn't anywhere near as nice as the pictures I saw. I threw in the towel and gave up...
On to next week!
What's your biggest nail art fail?

Haha I saw your first pic and I was like "ohhh I should definitely try that once!".. But after reading the rest of your post I think I'll have to reconcider :')
ReplyDeleteJust give it a go, maybe yours will turn out great :D
DeleteI didn't know you could use actual aluminum foil as a mani. Just think of it as an reason to go buy some foil polishes :D
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one! I'm always looking for a good reason to buy more polish!
DeleteThanks Marianne!
I think that most of the DIY alu foil photo's are fake. I've tried it myself after reading about it in your blog but I failed aswell.
ReplyDeleteI think so too!
DeleteGlad I wasn't the only one who made a mess of it :D
