Beauty trend: foil nails

Foil nail colour is blinging its way around the globe. Already wildly popular in Europe and the US, celebrities such as Katy Perry, Beyoncé, Rihanna and Lady Gaga are now jumping on board and flashing their fancy fingers, on and off stage.

Unlike regular nail polish, you press small thin strips of foil onto the nail, filing away any excess to shape it to your nail length. It's super simple and there's no hanging around waiting for colour to dry—you're good to go! Best of all they can last for up to two weeks and there are hundreds of colours and intricate designs, so there's something to match every outfit. We love the gold and silver foils—wear them with a simple black or white outfit for summer, with chunky gold or silver accessories. At around $16, it doesn't cost any more than a regular polish or have a professional foil mani for around $45.

For more info, check out the brands that are blinging Oz: blixz.com.au and minxnails.net.au
