My Glowing Camo Nails - Soooo Easy

Where do I begin with this color!  I absolutely love this color!  I think this color is so freaking unique and different just like me (NOT TO SOUND VAIN BUT HA!).  I don't even know where to begin trying to describe this color but what I do know is that I got alot of compliments on it.

I wore the color alone for a couple of days - I think a total of two before I got bored and waned to jazz it up.  I had been wanting to play with my nail foils for quite a while now; for some reason I keep feeding myself excuses but yet I find time to paint my nails every two days or so.  The thought of experimenting with them always haunted me - for some reason I thought they wouldn't come out right but I'm tripping because I watched a thousand tutorials on how to apply them.

The real reason is that if I made a mistake or the foil didn't stick I would totally get disgusted and remove the polish from all my nails and start over or with just a base color or would totally leave them alone for the night and I have too much damn polish to have naked nails.

I went into my foil container which holds approximately 15 various colors and patterns and chose something that would compliment the base color.  I chose this camouflage pattern which complimented the base color.

I applied them to three fingers on each hand after applying a thin coat of of foil glue and letting the glue dry for approx. three minutes.  Once the glue was transparent in color I applied the foil and rubbed my dotting tool all over the foil making sure it adhered to o the nail properly.  I was totally amazed that they all came out right but I wasn't quite done there.  I wanted to glow a little so I applied a iridescent halo polish to them and I was freaking happy.

I will definitely be playing with my foils a little bit more now especially since I have overcome my fear of ruining my manicure. I don't know why I'm so hard on myself it just freaking damn nail polish (I really wanted to use the other "F" word but I'll be a lady tonight).

Anyway here's the colors and brands I used:

Base Color:  SinfulColors- Leap Frog $.99
Halo Top Coat:  Essie Luxe Effect- Shine of the Times $8.00
Base Coat:  Pro-FX Fiberized Ridge Filler $5.97
Top Coat: Seche Vite - Fast Drying Top Coat $6.00












































The picture on the left was taken about four days after applying foil.  The picture on the right was taken the day I applied the nail foils after where the base color a couple of days.  So this manicure lasted about a week and a day.  I honestly got bored after wearing it two days but I stuck it out.
