Greetings My Readers!!!
Today, i am sharing with you a very unique nail art form - Foil Nails. I actually wasn't sure at first if this would work, but wanted to give it a try and i love it!
Here's how it looks:
What is required?
Steps:
1. Paint your ring finger nail with one coat of clear nail polish.
2. Before its fully dried, paint another coat on it.
3. Cut a small piece of foil and stick on it immediately after applying second coat.
4. Press it gently with your index finger and thumb and it should take shape according to your nail. Just like below.
4. This is an important step. LET IT DRY COMPLETELY. You can make out once its dry, you'll feel the foil nicely stuck on your nail.
5. Trim the foil by using the thumb nail of the other hand by shaping your cuticles and the sides of your nail. The foil will immediately be cut and separated giving a neat finish to your nail.
6. Now you will be left out with top part of your nail with extra foil. Take a small sharp scissor and cut it as close to your nail as possible.
7. To neat out the edges just gently file your nails.
8. Paint your other nails with your favourite color! I chose Colorbar-Autumn Rose.
9. Lastly, this is a tip for general use too, always always always after applying nail paint and its dried up, end with a cream on your cuticles to keep them healthy.
Tips:
- Do only one nail at a time.
- If you want to go glam do this on all your nails.
- This nail art is very delicate. Be careful of scraping your nails anywhere.
- The life of this nail art is very short.
- To remove it, just gently peel off the foil little by little and then when most of it is out, clean it with acetone.
Did you try it? Show me how it looks on you!
