Nail Of The Day – Rimmel 60 Seconds 605 Purple Reign & Rainbow Foils

Hi there! I hope you had a good weekend! Today’s post is about a mani I did the other week.

For this mani I painted my nails with Rimmel 60 Seconds 605 Purple Reign (2 coats).

This is a beautiful shade of purple. I like it a lot! I’m also very happy with how quickly this polish dries – no complaints here.

I used a some rainbow foil to add some colour to this mani, and I really liked the result.

If you’ve never done foil manis, but would like to give it a try, I did a pictorial which explains the process in 6 easy steps. 🙂

Nail Of The Day – Ciaté Cabaret & Foils

Hi there! Today’s post is a Nail Of The Day post.

For this mani, which I did about 2 weeks ago, I painted my nails with Ciate Cabaret (2 coats).

I’m not the biggest Ciaté fan, but this colour is really lovely. This particular bottle is finished now – well, there’s about 1ml of goopy polish left, but I can’t do anything with it. 🤷‍♀️

For the colourful accents I used some of my leftover rainbow foil.

I really liked this mani. I even filled in the tips and applied top coat daily to make the mani last longer!

Nail Of The Day – Rimmel Lycra Pro 327 Heart On Fire & Foils

Hi there! Happy Monday! Today’s post is about a mani I did just last week.

For this mani I painted my nails with Rimmel Lycra Pro 327 Heart On Fire (2 easy coats). This is a lovely polish. It dries quickly, and I like the true red colour very much.

For the accents I used some leftover goil foil. If you’ve never used nail foils, but are interested in it, here’s an important tip – do not ever throw out any leftover foils, as they will make the most amazing manis!

I’ve done a quick and easy to follow nail foil pictorial a while ago, so if you’re interested in how to do foil manis, you can find it here. Thanks for stopping by! 🥰

Nail Of The Day – NYC In A Minute 001 Evil & Foils

Hi there! I haven’t done Nail Of The Day posts in ages, and my nails are still a bit meh, but today’s post is about a mani from last week.

For this mani I painted my nails with NYC In A Minute 001 Evil (2 coats). This is a decent black polish. It’s almost a one-coater, so it works really well as a stamping polish too.

For the colourful accents I used some leftover rainbow foil. If you’re wondering about how to do foil manis at home, I’ve done a super easy to follow pictorial and there are some tips and tricks too!

What colour are your nails at the moment? Feel free to let me know via the comments, and thanks for reading!
