Ciate Very Colourfoil Manicure - Review

I mentioned this nail set before in my ‘What I Got ForChristmas’ post. I’ve finally got a chance to try it out! So here are my first impressions of it.
 
 
 
 


Pros
  • So far I’ve had no chips, and I’ve had it on for about two days now.
  • They look so cool!
  • The colour choice is amazing! It comes with one nail varnish and really pretty coloured foil.
  • It’s fairly quick to dry.
Cons
  • It takes quite a while to get the look that you are looking for, some patience is needed.
  • It’s really easy to smudge then after you’ve put the foil on.
  • The foil at the tips of my nails have now rubbed off.
I really love these nails! It was a bit fiddly but worth it However if you want to do your nails quickly then I wouldn't recomend this, but if you have a bit of time to do them then it's deffinately worth a go. One tip I picked up was to let the glue go a bit tacky before putting on the foil and then you may have to go and put on some more foil afterwards to add to the effect.  Bye! Bye! xx

Cool Flower Nail Art

This nail art is so cool, even if I do say so myself. And the bonus part is that it’s so easy to recreate (Although a lot of patients is needed.)  In my opinion it looks better if you use contrasting colours like something dark and something light. I think my nails would have looked better if I had used a lighter coloured blue.



What you need
  • Two shades of nail varnish, I used Technic Black and Rebel nail varnish in shade 2
  • A top coat, I used Leighton Denny Crystal Finish
  • Nail Varnish remover
  • Cotton pads                     
  • A pencil
  • Cocktail sticks
  • Nail file
  • Nail clippers

Step 1

Get rid of any old nail varnish that could still be on your nails.
 

Step 2

Use the nail file and nail clippers to trim and shape your nails the way that you want to, I like my nails to be square with rounded edges.

Step 3

Paint your nails with the base colour you picked out. I used this turquoise colour because, to be honest I’d never seen it in my nail varnish collection before and I thought that it looked pretty. 

 

Step 4

Now for the fun part! Once your nails have dried, use the pencil to create 5 dots in a circle using the second colour that you picked out. Do this on one nail.
 

Step 5

Use one of the cocktail sticks to drag the dots towards the centre of the circle. Then repeat this and step 5 for all your other nails.
 

Step 6

Wait until all your nails are completely dry then use a top coat to conceal your awesome flower design.
 

And then you’re done! Hope your nails turned out great. Bye! Bye! XX
