Last year I had a go at using nail foils in resin and the results were lovely even though things didn't necessarily go smoothly! Since then I've been using leftover resin in my pendant moulds to create a bunch of things I could use to make a video of me trying it again. A couple of them have some stunning iridescent pigment powder in them which I thought would make a gorgeous background to some of the foils. I am so in love with the results, especially in the sunlight this morning!
Materials used (All from Amazon):
- Makartt nail art foil glue
- 3 assorted packs of nail foils

At the end of the video I explain the horrendous scare we had with our cat Slinky. He is completely recovered now and it's like nothing happened but the whole experience was one of the scariest things we've been through. We've both done first aid training and learned how to do CPR but you never expect that you'll actually need to use it, especially not on your own cat! When he started breathing again and he arrived at the vet, he had gone partly blind and they said it was due to oxygen deprivation and that it may or may not be temporary. Thankfully it was temporary and he is seeing normally again. Don't do that to us again please Slinkster!
