Nail Foil Tutorial

Ends in failure by the way. :(

You'll see.

I started with 2 coats of China Glaze Spontaneous. Waited for that to dry and applied foil glue from Dollar Nail Art in a diagonal french.

Allow that to dry until it goes back to clear. (Only a few minutes)

Apply foil (mine was Ocean Mist also by Dollar Nail Art) by lightly pressing it down to the surface of the nail and pulling straight back up. Shiny side UP.

Repeat until entire area with glue is covered.

Topcoat has a freaky chemical reaction with the foil glue. It makes the foil "crack" and distorts the pattern. Topcoat was applied to the left nail. You can really see the difference.

Topcoat the entire manicure.

I still felt it needed something, so I added some star glitter shapes to my ring finger. Here's where it started to fail. I wasn't really loving it now, but went to bed anyway.

Then I woke up to find this. :( It's like the stars took all of the color from the foil on that nail! This only happened on the nails with the stars... so I just took it off and tried something else. Freaky stuff..
