Whatever nail design masters invent! Fashionistas are offered to depict a whole work of art on the nail plate or inlay with precious stones, feathers, rhinestones, flowers and other improvised means are also used. And not so long ago, a manicure with foil came into fashion. Let's take a closer look at its technology.
Which foil to choose?
Let's just say that the one you use for cooking in the oven will not work. It is better to go straight to the store with manicure accessories and choose the designs that you like. The range includes foil sheets with a smooth or embossed finish. You can also choose any color, from classic gold and silver to vibrant red and blue.
Pay attention to the type of product. Professional masters do manicure using foil made in the form of thin sheets. It is not easy to work with such material, as it can easily tear and deform. For beginners, we recommend choosing a transfer foil for nails. It is made inthe form of sheets with a substrate of dense material. It is easy to cut and attach to the nail plate.
Also, to perform such a nail design, you will need glue, manicure sticks and acrylic paint. Do not do without fixing varnish. Buy glue in a specialized store. It is available as a liquid to be applied with a brush or as a stick.
Foil manicure for business woman
If you think that glitter on the nails is incompatible with office work, then you are mistaken. We offer you a variation on the theme of French manicure, which will perfectly fit into the strict image of a business woman.
Choose a soothing color polish, as well as matching foil. Apply a color coat on the nail and wait for it to dry. Next, use glue to mark a wide strip along the edge of the nail. On this surface, carefully stick a piece of foil with a wooden stick and press it tightly to the nail. Excess material must be cut with scissors. Fix all this splendor with transparent varnish. You can make the manicure more playful by sticking the foil diagonally. Experimentation is welcome.
Foil manicure for going to the club

Marigolds,completely covered with shiny foil, will attract hundreds of glances. There are two ways to perform such a manicure. The first option is simple and takes a little time. Cut ten sheets of foil to the size of each nail. Now apply clear or colored polish. Then cover the entire surface of the nail with glue and stick a piece of foil as evenly as possible. Clear varnish will complete your work.
If you want to look brighter, then use the second option. Cut the foil into small pieces, you can use the material of several colors. Then we repeat the same procedure as in the previous case. You will get an interesting mosaic on the nails. Each piece can be outlined with acrylic paint, this will add graphicity to the drawing.
Foil Manicure for Artificial Nails

The essence of extension is that with the help of special tips and gel, the master forms the nail plate. Length and shape can be any. In this case, between the layers of the gel, you can arrange whatever your heart desires. If you use pieces of foil on the tip of the nail, you can get a very original shimmering effect.
