How to Apply Nail Foils: Simply 5 Steps to follow

In this article, we will tell you several steps of how to apply nail foil. Let’s get started.

Buff and shape your nails

At first, shape your nails in your desired size and buff them. Usually, applying nail foil on the longer nails looks much pretty than short nails.

After shaping the nails, use a buffer to buff the nails to make them smooth. By buffing, nails will get more durable.

Apply base coat and nail polish

Most of the nail art procedure has this step, applying a base coat. Basecoat protects the natural nail bed and protects them from damage. Also, the base coat helps to adhere to the nail polish perfectly.

Then apply a single or a couple of coats of gel nail polish. Apply a color that matches with the foil you are going to apply.

If you apply nail polish on the nail before applying foil, your nails will be more attractive after applying nail foil.

As you are using gel nail polish, you have to cure your nails by an LED light for 30 seconds after the application of each coat.

Apply Nail foil Adhesive

If your nail polish is too sticky, then gently wipe your nails with some rubbing alcohol and a cotton pad. (Do not wipe  the nail polish forcefully, it may ruin) It will help to adhere the foil more effectively.

Apply nail foil glue on the nail. You can cure it into the Led for 30 seconds or wait for 1/2 minutes until it dries automatically.

Remember the nail glue must be nail foil adhesive. Any nail glue will not give perfect nail art, and that may not be able to adhere to the foil.

Adhere the foil

Now it’s time to apply your favorite nail foil. Apply a piece of foil on your nail and gently press the foil to line up. When the foil is in a perfect position, rub it with a dry wipe.

Try to rub the foil quickly and forcefully. You can use the thick side of the cuticle pusher to get a more effective result. Remove the foil and see the amazing transformation on your nails. Try to apply foil nails one after another nail.

Use a top coat

To make the foil nail glossy and classy, use a topcoat. A topcoat increases nail foil’s durability. It is the protection of the nail foil. If you use a topcoat, it will provide chip-free nail art for a long time.

Reapply a layer of topcoat after 3/4 days of nail foil application. So, you can get chip-free nails for some more days.

Conclusion

This super easy nail art technique is getting too familiar day by day. People fond of finding the easiest and less time-consuming way of the nail art technique.

The nail foil process is an easy and effective way to get elegant and fashionable nails in a short time. The good news is that it lasts long for more than one week.
