Black Chrome Galaxy Foil Nail Art + Tutorial!

Hey stamperistas,

Purchased by Me

I'm really trying to get my blog and other social media switched over to the spook-tacular mood of Halloween.  As you know my health has been pretty crummy and what I have found is its also slowed me down so tremendously.  Filming, photographing, etc is taking me longer than I had anticipated but despite that I still want to try and make this October special and share all the nail art & creations I've thought of with you.  Its one of my favorite holidays and its always bummed me out that I haven't been able to use as many of my plates as I would like.   This year I want to do as much as possible so I started with a galaxy look.  I know this is definitely not classic Halloween but I also wanted to think about looks that would go with specific costumes and when I was playing around with my plates this sort of came together.  Its very funky & very non-traditional and I hope you like it!

No stamping in this one today.  I'm back to playing with textures and obsessing with my nail foils. Right now there are so many cool foil manis out there its crazy.  I'm seeing lot of interesting things happening with foils and mattes.  So I thought I might take my turn with playing about with foils at well and the result was this scattered shredded  creation below!

Am I the only one obsessing over foils?  Lol you probably thought oh she's just gonna post the how to on getting the perfect foil mani but maybe not follow it up with any nail art for a while.  Nah! Actually the reason I created the How To Preserve Your Foil Mani post is because I created this nail art.  I realized I was going to get the same questions like I got on my scattered foil mani and decided hmmm I should just pre-empt it with a blog post and discussion first.  Feel free to check it out if you haven't read it already.   Btw if anyone else has any foil tips or tricks they'd like to share please let me know in the comment.  Also if you have a favorite vendor for cool foils as well since I wanted to try and find some new and cool ones let me know!  That said  enjoy the foil yumminess.

Lesson Lockdown: How To Preserve Your Nail Art Foil Mani's

Yo lacqueristas,

Today I decided to do a how to post on how to keep your foil mani's looking sparkling and unwrinkled and lasting more than a millisecond.  I did think this was common knowledge, but somewhere along the way I realized it isn't given how many questions I had gotten when I posted my scattered foil nails.   Once I understood there were really no blog posts or videos out there to show people how to keep your foils looking fantastic I realized I should probably write a post and do a video review.  So here we are! I'm going to run through the various techniques below and I'm sure there is one out there for everyone.  PS  let me know if I missed a method that you know about and leave comments, suggestions, and feedback below especially if you found this helpful!    Now let's get started!

Scattered Holographic Foil Nail Art + Tutorial

Hey lacqueristas,

You know this has pretty much become a stamping blog after all stamping is my niche and its the kind of nail art I prefer to all others.  However occasionally I will post nail art that doesn't fall into that venue and today is such a day!  I really wanted to use some of the nail foils I bought last year from AliExpress.  I actually purchased them with the intent to do some foil stamping, but I could never find a polish that allowed for a successful transfer and so they have been languishing in the dust ever since lol.  At least that was the case until today ;)
