Almost every woman loves to experiment with her manicure. And although the store shelves are now filled with nail polishes of various shades, extended nails are still very popular. One of the types of design is the design of nails using foil. Despite the fact that nail decoration in this way appeared a long time ago, it has not lost its relevance today.
If you decide to try to make a similar design, the first thing to do is to prepare the necessary materials and tools. Nail foil should be thin, it is best to take a shiny iridescent foil. You will also need scissors, glue or clear nail polish, a brush and white and black acrylic paints, tweezers, cotton swabs and a top coat.
There are several types of foil for nail design: sheet; embossed; transferable. In specialized stores you can see a largerange of shades, and you can choose the right color. Gold and silver are considered classic shades suitable for any look.
Sheet nail foil attracts with its even, smooth surface. With its help, you can achieve the effect of "metallic". Using a special pencil, the foil is glued to the nail plate. The chaotic arrangement of pieces of foil on the nail looks spectacular, creating abstract, various shapes, shapes and patterns.
Embossed nail foil differs from sheet nail foil in its unusual embossing, otherwise they are the same. Embossed foil is attached to the nail in the same way as sheet foil.
A nail transfer foil is as easy to use as an embossed foil. Glue is applied to the nail plate, in the area of the future pattern. The foil is applied to this place with the front side, then it is kept for some time in order for the glue to take a stronger hold, after which the base of the foil is removed. Transfer foil comes in a wide range of colors, often finished with different patterns.
To make this type of manicure, no special skills and abilities are required. You can perform it without even doing professional nail design. After all the necessary tools have been purchased, and our nail design kit has been formed, you can proceed.
First you need to cut the foil into pieces of different sizes and shapes. You can also buy it already cut into abstract pieces of different sizes.forms. Next, lay the foil on the nail with tweezers. It can be either a pre-designed pattern or an abstract picture. The edges of the foil should fit snugly against the nail to prevent it from peeling off in the future. After that, we fix our work with varnish or paint. We are waiting for the complete drying of the fixative and give volume to our manicure. This can be done with acrylic paints or varnishes. We draw twigs, waves, various curls, flowers and so on on the nails. And most importantly - we cover the finished design with a fixative, preferably two layers, for the longest possible effect.
