Category: Mirror Finish

Hey guys!

I was going to try and have this post up on Saturday, but for some reason I couldn’t download the pictures from my camera to my laptop. I got a new camera for Christmas and I love it so much, but now my poor laptop can’t keep up. It’s starting to really slow down and crash easily, so I need to get a new one but I really don’t know what kind I want…it’s such a hard decision!

Anyway! Today I’ll be reviewing The Foil Look nail polish from Formula X.

A couple of years ago, I saw a picture in a magazine of metallic nails, and since then I have had an infatuation with silver nails. So the other day when I got an email from Sephora and saw this product, I got so excited and immediately went out to buy it. The little kit is $25 which is pretty spendy, but I had a coupon and you get two bottles of nail polish (a base and the actual silver color) in the box. So in reality, it’s $12.50 for each bottle, which isn’t too terrible. And honestly, I have been wanting a metallic nail polish that actually looks like metal for such a long time so I was willing to pay that much. 

The base that it comes with is supposed to help the nail foil look more metallic, and it did look a little different from my other nail polish base. The directions also said to use the Formula X nail cleanser on your nails before the base for the best results, but I just used some nail polish remover to get the excess oils off, I think it works just the same. Then you just apply a thin coat of the base, let that dry, and apply the nail foil. It also says not to use a top coat in order to “preserve the mirror finish” so I didn’t put one on. The nail foil dried really quickly (within two minutes!) so that was really convenient.

I really love how it looks on my nails! I was so excited to find this product and I’m really glad I bought it. The box says it’s a one night wear, and now I see why. Without a top coat, the nail polish wears off and chips really easily. I have had it on for a couple of days and it looks like it’s been on for a week. However, I put a top coat on a couple of my nails to see if I could tell a difference, and you really can’t. Those nails also don’t have chips like the others, so next time I will be putting a top coat on all of my nails. All in all, I really love this product and I’m very satisfied! I definitely recommend getting this if, like me, you have been looking for a true metallic-looking nail polish. I have been driving my family crazy from comparing my nails to anything metal that I come across. It really looks like you have silver on your nails! I could go on and on about how much I love it. 

Thanks for reading, and have a great rest of your day! 🙂
