I truly can't remember if this gorgeous blue was opaque in 1 or 2 coats and no longer have it nearby to check. Either way, it was lovely, and stood up well to the gold foil treatment - especially matte.

There's a pretty gold shimmer running through this polish that unfortunately isn't as apparent on the nail. I'm glad I finally got round to wearing it.

It looks like the color of the previous mani really stuck with me as I stayed in the same shade range for this next one. I actually thought these two gel polishes were closer in color but once applied, saw how different they are.

I had a difficult time capturing the exact shade of this color - it leans a bit purple, but my camera couldn't pick that up. I tested out some white lace nail foils (from aliexpress) on day 2 of the mani.

I had this one sitting in my polish area for a while and finally decided to wear it. As I did the last time I used it in a mani, I decided to put on some nail foils again.

I picked this one up on clearance because it reminded me of an old favorite polish, Estee Lauder - Geranium, that my mom gave me decades ago. I find this color just as delightful, and even more so with the nail foil over it.
I've also taken a photo of the topcoat I use with these foils.  It doesn't preserve the shiny/metallic foils as well, but it works very well over this kind of foil.

Since this is one of my favorite hues of green, it was bound to be a winning mani no matter what I did with it. I like the finished look with the foil.

Another fun application of nail foils.  I really should use these more often.
