A great effect!
This takes some practice to get perfect but after you get the hang of it it is really easy and the effect is great.
-
Step 1Gather your materials. I got my foil from sparkly-nails.co.uk but I have heard that dollarnailart.com has them too at only a dollar.
-
Step 2Apply a base coat and a base colour that matches the colour of your foil as closely as you can. This is so if it chips slightly or if the foil doesn't apply to your whole nail especially at the tips.
-
Step 3While you wait for that to dry cut 10 pieces of the foil. One for every nail. (with toenails you can use one for two nails and the foil is quite wide.)
-
Step 4Apply a layer of the adhesive where you want the foil just like nail varnish. Then wait around 1 minute for it to dry slightly so it is not quite fully dry.
-
Step 5Place your piece of foil on your nail then smooth it down with your finger so it sticks and covers the whole area.
-
Step 6When it is attached the top layer should peel off leaving the foil finish on your nails.
-
Step 7Repeat on all your nails, apply a top (not fast drying or it will ruin the finish) to avoid chips, and it is finished.
