Princess Nichole #102 - a blurple colored foil

I've had this color for a while and decided to pull it out of my Melmer the other week. Right now my current mint green mani is wearing like iron...no tipwear ☺

This is a brand called Princess Nichole. The color is #102, which is a blurple foil. I only have one other color from them and it's a purple/blue duochrome. I'll have to dig that one out and swatch it soon.





Thanks for looking!

Diamond Cosmetics Decadence

Decadence is a light chocolate brown color with a foil finish from Diamond Cosmetics....perfect for fall, my favorite time of year. It applied so easily, I hardly had any cleanup...which is a rarity for me ☺


Here's a closeup, you can really see the silver foil here.

Foil Manicure

So, I decided to practice my foiling techniques today. First you have to apply the adhesive to your bare nail (it looks and smells an suspiciously like Elmers glue!). It applies white, and when it turns clear, you press the foil sheet to your nail, smooth it out and rip it off fast.

It's pretty hard to get a smooth finish...but the effect is cool.


What do you think? Unfortunately, I discovered that if you apply top coat, it breaks down the foil. Bummer...
