NOTD: it's ridiculous how happy this mani made me +pics+

Yes, I know sometimes pretty nails can make us happy, but I kept on staring at my nails all day today, I swear this mani made me smile. Why? I finally tried nail foil and I stamped over it. Ha!

This is Ocean Mist, nail foil I bought from http://dollarnailart.com/ (N/A) months ago but only got around to trying it now. If any of you know what type of t/c to use over foil, I'd appreciate any tips, 'cause it wrinkles and ruins the pretty. And yes, I used slow drying but it still wrinkled, so I did this mani over again and what you see is without t/c.

In the close ups you can see where the foil didn't adhere and created crack-looking spaces, you can't see those IRL. I stamped with WnW Black Creme and use plate Cheeky CH-9.

I absolutely adore this mani! It's shiny and pretty and even though it's almost mirror like, this foil is a duochrome!
