How To Use Foil on Nails

1. Prep: Perform your prep for a base manicure, cleaning, cutting, and shaping the nails. Apply a base coat, and cure for 60 seconds under an LED nail lamp or for 2 minutes under a UV nail lamp.
2. Choose your foil: Pick the desired nail foil pattern or color. Cut pieces depending on your desired design.
3. Apply foil gel: Apply a thin layer of nail foil gel to the entire nail or where you want the foil to stick. For more intricate designs, wipe the nail with IPA, then use a TGB Liner or Detail Brush to apply the foil gel.
4. Cure foil gel: Cure for 60 seconds under an LED nail lamp (or 2 minutes with a UV nail lamp), which will leave a tacky finish.
5. Press the foil: Press the foil (design facing up) onto the nail. Firmly but gently rub the foil with a cotton swab or your fingertip to ensure it sticks properly.
6. Remove the backing: Gently peel off the foil's backing. The design or color should now be transferred to your nail.
7. Seal the design: Apply a clear top coat over the foil to protect the design and ensure longevity.
8. Finalize: Enjoy your foil-accented nails!

The minimalist charm of line art and doodles brings a touch of whimsy to cute gel nails.
