What are nail foils? Professional nail foil is a type of transferable paper that is used to add detail to a nail design. Foils can be used for full nail coverage or only be partially applied. Nail technicians can use metallic foil or patterned foil to enhance their nail art ideas — making nail foil a must-have in the salon.
Luckily, The GelBottle Inc’s foil collection provides a wide range of nail foils. This includes rose gold, bronze, gray, purple, and more. The foils are not pre-cut and are perfect for any nail length, shape, and design, which helps reduce the chance of wasting foil. Explore a few easy foil nail designs created using The GelBottle’s diverse foil collection.
How Does Foil Make Nail Art Designs Easy?
Professional nail foil makes creating nail art significantly easier by creating a one-of-a-kind look in a matter of seconds. Nail foil can be crafted to make unique designs or used as a bright detail in a pattern. Most foils are a metallic paper, but other foils have premade designs. For example, we offer a foil variety pack and a set of floral foils suitable for full coverage or as decorative details.

Small Nail Designs With Foil
Take the classic manicure, but spice it up with metallic foil. Small foil nail art designs can be anything from stars, cute hearts, and detailed flowers to abstract shapes. The base colors can range from a plain base coat to any nail gel color your client wants as long as the application steps are followed. The possibilities are endless with our nail foil collection with various golds, metallic gray, and purple.
Metallic Foil Nail Tips
If your client is looking for new foil ideas but also likes the French tip look, try foil nail tips. Take the TGB nail foil, and extend the shape to slant up the nail. Instead of the classic white tip, swap it out from any of the gold or purple foils. But, why stop there? You can make the foil nail tips even more dramatic by bringing the foil up to one side. This metallic foil tip look is a spinoff from the French tip nails, adding some shine while maintaining uniformity in the nails.
Diagonal Nail Design
A solid divide between the base color and the gold nail foil. The warm, gold metallic paper adds a pop of color that can match most outfits and jewelry. Gold is a classic yet neutral color that never goes out of style. Gold foil on your client’s nails adds a timeless color to a unique nail design. This foil nail art design covers half of the nail in metallic paper while leaving the other half to show whatever gel polish your client wants. Embrace the simplicity and elegance of this diagonal nail design.
Simple Designs with Foil Pieces
One super easy foil design is applying blotches of gel polish with a scrape-off effect and abstractly applying the nail foil. The goal is to create a balance with this look, ensuring an artistic blend of gel polish and metallic foil. Another nail foil design is to loosely imitate street lights at nighttime by adding a few black organic lines and a couple of foil pieces placed to act as lights. The black lines offer a stark contrast to the base color and the metallic gold nail foil, making the foil stand out that much more. Additional foil ideas include: an abstract divide by using the foil to separate two nail gel colors, a metallic foil border design, or a splatter effect with various metallic nail foils. The GelBottle also sells Gold Metallic Leaf Pots to further simplify these partial foil nail designs.
Tortoiseshell Nail Art
Revolutionize your nail art process with ease. Instead of spending extensive time setting each nail color for seamless tortoiseshell nail art, simply use the Tortie Nail Foil. Prep your client’s nails, apply the tortoiseshell nail foil, and cure.
Make the Most of Your Metallic Nail Foil
Nail foil can be applied to various nail designs, making it a salon staple. The GelBottle’s foil collection comes in a variety of metallic colors and designs and is easy to apply. The foil nail designs are endless just like our foil packs. Each pack comes with 200 centimeters of continuous foil that is not pre-cut, which makes it easy to avoid wasting foil when working with different designs and nail lengths.
