Nails must be perfect, otherwise a mirror manicure will not correct the situation, but, on the contrary, focuses attention on it. Absolutely everything is important: work with the cuticle, a neat shape of the nail, a smooth nail plate and even well-groomed skin of the hands. Mirror manicure provides the perfect smoothness of the nail. If there are problems with this, then it is worth changing the foil for a shiny ribbon, which has a slightly convex pattern. Thus, the tape will hide the unevenness of the nail plate.

Apply colored polish to your nails. As mentioned above, the varnish must match the color of the foil. This is important because the foil does not always lie flat on the nail, and the varnish will prevent damage. Proceed to gluing the foil. This work is quite painstaking, requiring endurance and skill. Each nail is processed individually. Foil glue or colorless varnish is applied to the nail. After a few minutes, glue the shiny ribbon. To do this, put it on the sticky layer of the nail and gently press it. An orange stick will help to gently smooth the foil over the nail. Film residue should be removed sharply. Thus, all nails are processed. A final coat is not needed here, as it can affect the shine of the nails.
