    That is one of the prettiest opal nails that I have ever seen

    I really enjoyed this video and technique. So I got some foil transfer stuff and gave it a try. What I ended up with is not bad at all, but I wouldn't say it looks like an opal; more like milky quartz, and one of my thumbnails -- which was actually the first one I did, my right thumb so I had to do it with my left hand -- actually looks exactly like white marble! So they look good, even if not the design I was trying for -- opals, because my husband just gave me an opal necklace and earrings for my birthday in May. So I'll mount some of my fake nails to the the little magnetic stands and keep trying! This technique is much easier than any of the other ones I found for opals, and I already had everything I needed for it, except the foil transfer stuff. The main problem I keep having is making the nail too thick, from all the repeated coats. If I wanted to get a thinner coat, would it help if I dip the brush in acetone before dipping into the color?

    I've tried this. It is glorious and great. Bless you. Thanks for this tutorial. I have a transparent pink that I will try adding in to make a pink opal nail. Thank you again 😊

    Wow this is such a different way of creating a gem stone effect. I’ve never seen people use foils before. It’s absolutely stunning. Truly a thing of beauty. Thanks so much for sharing this with us
