How I Messed Up With Absolutely Flawless Nail Foils

ByLisa Jayne
Nail foils are something I’ve been wanting to try for absolutely ages so when I saw they were in my She Said Beauty Box, I was super excited. Nail foils have always intrigued me, I’ve never quite got my head around how to use them. They always looked a bit fiddily and difficult to apply, and I was pretty sure I’d mess up on applying them. And I did.






When it came to applying them it was pretty straight forward. You took the nail foil off, applied it to the nail, and cut the excess off. What could go wrong? I managed to apply my nail foils, and they looked really good. Problem was they only stayed on my nails for about an hour. Suddenly every time I touched something the ends flipped up and they kept peeling. I started to get really annoyed with them and took them off after 2 hours. I then saw on Twitter that Tattooed Tealady was having the exact same problem as me. Maybe nail foils weren’t for me? Maybe they weren’t worth the hassle? No I just applied them wrong! As the lovely Sophia explained in her blog post you were meant to apply them with a hair-dryer. The nail foils told me to ‘apply with heat’, but like Sophia I didn’t realise it meant hair-dryer heat. Oops. I wish I’d realised this because the nail foils were so pretty! So if you want to know how to apply these nail foils PROPERLY I’d reccomend reading this post here by Samantha from the Lifestyle Graduate, so you don’t make the same mistake as me!








My nail foil disaster hasn’t put me off and now I know how to apply them properly I think I might give them another go in the future! Also Absolutely Flawless Nail Foils only cost £1.90 for a pack of 32!




Have you tried nail foils before?


Did you make the same mistakes as me?

    Benefit products have always been a favourite of mine. Since discovering them a few years back I’m always trying to pick up new products to try. One thing I’d never tried before was their box blushers, I’ve mainly just stuck to mascara’s, primers, and foundations in the past. The difficult decision was trying to pick…

    One of my all time favourite things to buy at Lush is their facemasks, I think their wonderful. There’s nine different ones to try out, all for different skin types. Normally I tend to stick to Catastrophe Cosmetic when I buy one, as that’s the one I’ve found to help my skin out the most so far….

    I was tagged by the lovely Clare from A Bit Of This And That in her skincare tag and I thought it would be fun to give it a go. I’ve got into skin care over the past year, but I’m still learning a lot about how to look after my skin. I like tags like…
