Mylar Nail Art


So I decided to attempt some nail art with Mylar. I seem to have a never ending collection which only grows with time but somehow its never something I could master. I can never get the Mylar down flat enough so it won't pop or scratch the surface. It always seems to involve several rounds of filing down and in doing so I seem to lose some of the shininess and the compactness of the Mylar. Thank God for no wipe gel topcoat which doesn't require filing down before the next application so I can only file targeted areas and do another coat of gel over.

Decided to go with a deep shade of wine to match the color of my outfit for the weekend wedding that's coming up. Randomly placed the Mylar at different angles to allow it to catch light and give the illusion of shine. 

If anyone has any suggestions as to how I should go about doing Mylar nails properly, feel free to leave a comment!
