Nail Art: Bridal Inspired Foil Stamping

Have you all heard of the Sally Hansen Color Foil Collection? It has been out for a while, but for one reason or another, I haven't gotten my hands on them until now. I have a nail art look today using Leaden Lilac as a base color. This polish is different from the usual polish where you use a base and top coat. This one specifically states to not use a base or top coat. The polish dries to a very metallic foil looking finish which has a really cool effect. The color is an interesting mix of blue and purple, I would call it more blue than purple. It reminded me of the blue/purple Pure Ice Laven-Dare because I couldn't really tell if it is was more blue leaning or purple leaning. I decided to pair the two for this look. Turns out Laven-Dare stamps really well, so I used my MoYou Tourist Collection Plate 07 for this design.

I really liked the effect of this polish! It was really interesting and different from any other polish I have. It was weird not adding a base or top coat, but I supposed you could add a top coat if you really wanted to. I noticed the next day I had a lot of tip wear after getting out of the shower, but I touched it up and it took the touch up really well. Sometimes I try to touch up and it is obvious that I just added more polish. Not the case with this polish, it must be something to do with the metallic in it. Besides the short wear, I really liked this look. I was somewhat inspired by bridal designs for this one, maybe it could be a "something blue" for a bold bride. I used two coats of this, like the bottle recommended, and I found it to be the perfect amount. Application was a breeze, it went on very smooth. Have you tried any from the Color Foil Collection? What do you think of this design? Hope you like it, thanks for reading!
