I've been horrible with posting this year. Hopefully next year I will do better. I normally don't really do anything on New Year's because it's busy where ever you go, and you have to worry about the idiots on the road at the end of the night. So I knew I wasn't going to be doing or going anywhere, but I still wanted to do my nails,
I have some nail foil sheets that I have been meaning to use and review. I don't really have any nail stamps for the holiday, so I decided to try out the foils. I chose these 2 to use:
These can be found here - bornprettystore nail foils. There are 13 designs to chose from. When you take them out of the packages, they look like this:
So pretty!!!
This was my first time using foils, but I caught on pretty quick. To make it easier to work with I cut off a section of the foils. I randomly placed spots of the nail glue and then pressed the foils on the the glue randomly. I really love how they turned out and highly recommend these. They make it look like a lot of work was done, but it was simple and quick. I used a base of black and blackish glitter. I used normal top coat and they turned out fine. I've heard that some topcoats can make the foil look matte and less awesome. I had no issues.
There are my results:
I really love these nails!! I couldn't decide what pictures to include, so I just added them all!!! Some of the pics show the sparkle and shine better then others. There is no wrong way to use the foils. Every nail is unique and full of awesome.
I did these on Monday and on Tuesday I had a little tip wear from work (I type most of the day) so I just touched up with black polish and a little more foil. I didn't take any pictures of them, but I mainly used the silver holo foil.
If you haven't tried these yet you really should. They are easy to use and look awesome!! If you go to Born Pretty Store and use this code NWG10 you will get a discount on your order! Have a great and safe New Year's!!!

Sticks N Stones In The Snow
I don't know why I didn't think of this combination before. I love how this turned out. I actually wore it for New Year's Eve, but I didn't go out, but I did wok in the morning lol. I went out for NYE when I first turned 21, and after that I've always stayed in. I just don't like going out for the big holidays because every place is more packed and more expensive. Plus you have to deal with all the idiots on the road. So I just stay home.
This year I spent it with my mom drinking a bottle of champagne and watching The Walking Dead marathon! I love that show. My poor mom had never seen it so I had to explain what was going on, but it was ok since I like to talk lol. Ok anyways on to my nails.
I LOVE Ninja Polish "Sticks N Stones" I really need to get another bottle. I don't think there is any polish this doesn't look awesome over. I started with my wonderful glue base, and then 3 coats of China Glaze "Glistening Snow" This is an awesome polish and it applies wonderfully. I should try and get a back up of this polish too if I can find one :)
I then applied 2 coats of SNS over all my nails except my ring finger.
On my ring finger I applied 3 coats of China Glaze "All That Glitters"
This polish really makes me think of Mardi Gras lol
I got the idea to layer this over GS from the sparse holo glitter in SNS. I think all the polishes worked well together.
I think everyone needs to own SNS, it makes a great topper for just about any polish. Every combination I've tried has looked nothing less then awesome!
So pretty and full of sparkle!
I've been having issues with my nails breaking a lot, I've been considering investing in a pair of Custom Nails, but i want to do a little more research on them first.
Well that's if for now. Have you found any combinations using Sticks N Stones that you Hate/Love? Do you own custom nails, or been considering getting them? Please let me know in the comments below. I may not always respond but I do read every comment :) Thanks so much for reading and have a great day!
