Weeks and weeks and weeks ago I ordered a few rolls of nail foils from Born Pretty Store. After getting them I looked up a video to learn how to do them but it said that I needed the special glue for them to work, and of course I didn't have it. By the way, this kind of stuff happens to me a lot! I always order things without researching thoroughly and then they just sit in my drawers unused because I'm missing some important piece. Same thing happened with these foils, I got lazy and didn't order any glue but tonight I wanted to try them out so I researched and found that you can use them without the glue! Hurray! I looove how they came out!! I will definitely be ordering more colours now that I know how to use them. Basically you put on your base colour, wait for it to dry but not too dry (until your nails are tacky; I waited too long on a couple of nails and although it made the foil harder to put on, it still worked), and then rub the foil on (shiny/pretty side up).
Now, the problem with nail foils: they can't have a topcoat. It ruins them; it takes away the shine and they start to kind of smudge. So of course they don't last long. I literally rubbed mine off as soon as I got my pictures. So the lesson here is that I think the glue is extremely important!!! I'm going to order some and try this out again and hopefully it'll stay. That way even without a topcoat it won't rub off. Hopefully. But lets be honest, I probably won't order the glue any time soon. Until then, I'll just use the foils the day of rather than a day or night before. I want to save them for special occasions and for now I only have gold, brown, and silver.
