First Attempt at Nail Foils...


...ok so this is really our second attempt, but the first was a pretty much a total fail that would make a mockery of what my blog is trying to accomplish. :P Dustin found DollarNailArt.com is where we got these foils. There is a 25 dollar minimum purchase but you can get a lot for that price considering everything is a dollar! The foils definitely a learning curve...luckily my talented hubby mastered it pretty quick. I thought these turned out well for only a second try! This is the passion pink foil  before the Konad stamping:

I don't put too much thought and work into deciding what to stamp because the foils don't last longer than a few days. I noticed that they stay a lot longer on toes though.

Wishing for summer...

These nails remind me of a tropical summer day...I can dream right? It was -20 this morning! All the schools were out but ours...I guess they figure college students can handle it. Anyways, Dustin did sponging with the green color and it was our first success after many previous failures on different manicures. I think it looks really good!





Polishes used:
Claire's Mean Green
Zoya Bekka
LDL ? for stamping
Konad Plate 78


                                      Finally, here are Taylee's toes this week.
