Nail art using transfer foils

Hi all

I just love transfer foils they are very easy to use and looks very cool on ones nails. I did 3 different looks using foils.

In this mani I used three colored foil and draw free hand pattern on it. This is my first time using full nail foils. 

In this mani I first applied transfer foil near my cuticles and then painted my nails black as in ruffian manicure.

In this pic I used peacock feather transfer foil and applied it on my full nail.

Hope you like these....as I know these are not perfect as I am new to this technique and I am learning and loving it.

Map it out

Hi all

My today's mani is inspired by cutepolish 's one of the latest video. Where she used fing'rs map nail tattoos to create beautiful map nails.

I used similar kit as cutepolish ...

The kit has 30 tattoos in 3 designs ( 10 each).

I cut one strip of tattoo in 3 parts for my nail length, I used around 4 and half strips for my both hands.

I started with painting my nails white with maybelline color show nail polish and then I applied map tattoos..

Note for my Indian readers: this kit is not available in India....my sister who lives in USA send this to me as gift. But she told me that it is easily available in walmart.

Hope you liked my nail look
