Instructions for using foil for nails.
Content
Nail foil appeared many years ago. At the very beginning, it was used to apply to ordinary varnish when it was slightly wet and slightly sticky. Thus, the foil was simply imprinted on the surface of the varnish. Now the situation has fundamentally changed, since almost no one uses ordinary varnishes, shelacas were completely replaced. Accordingly, the methods of using foil are slightly different. In this article we will talk about foil and offer the most common designs.
Nail foil: how to use it correctly?
The translation foil is very often imprinted on a sticky layer. It is on this that the casting technique is based, when after painting nails with paint and drying it, a sticky layer remains on it. It is on him that the gold foil is imprinted. But since now casting is a slightly forgotten technique, and few use it, the foil has found another application.
Foil use options:
- As a broken glass. This is a rather popular, traditional version of use. In this technique, pieces of cut foil are simply laid out on a wet base, dried in a lamp and overlapped with a thick layer of top. Thus, it is possible to achieve flickering design.
- Recently, at the peak of popularity, the design of the nails is opal. It can also be created using broken glass. To implement such a design, the nail is overlapped with two layers of white gel polish. Pieces of foil are attached to the sticky layer, poured with the base and dried, then everything is overlapped with a matte top. Please note that foil slices even after filling the base can stick out. If you feel it, just walk on the surface. Only then cross with a matte top. It is necessary to completely exclude the risk of damage to the design during operation.
- There is also a translation foil, but now it is not just a holographic plain, these are ornate, beautiful, brilliant drawings that, after reprinting the nails, create a very unique, beautiful pattern or pattern. But as many users note, such a foil is not always well imprinted on a sticky layer, it can lie down with propelled rods. Therefore, it is not possible to create a plain coating, a continuous pattern on the surface of the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe nail.
- Also, foil for nails can be used to create liquid stones. This technique is quite simple, you can learn more about liquid stones here.
Now foil is rarely used as translated, mainly pieces, segments, triangles, as well as circles are used in order to create more complex designs. It usually covers with a thick layer of sculptural gel. That is, in fact, this is mainly working with broken glass, liquid stones, patterns, as well as as a substrate for some more complex design.

Design with nail foil: instructions, tips, photos
Despite the fact that casting is a slightly forgotten technique, nevertheless, in this style you can perform several unusual and non -standard designs. Recently, on the nails it has become popular to draw geometric patterns, triangles, rhombuses, as well as a variety of drawings. Also, the outline of the Eiffel Tower is often applied to the nails.
In order to give naturalism, after drying the paint in the lamp, and the presence of residual stickiness on it, they simply reset brilliant foil. Now they use not purely gold or silver foil, but a holographic one, which will flicker. If you perform the design correctly, then this kind of foil will flicker under the top.
Foil is also often used as a substrate for monograms or stamping. Thus, all the nails are covered with plain gel polish. Funas on the ring finger are left with an uncovered top, after which the finish layer with a sticky layer is applied. Further, the foil is printed on it and again overlaps the finish, but without dispersion. A pattern is applied from above using stamping or a monogram or any drawing is simply created. Thus, the foil serves as a spell, which adds to the spicyness of design.
Opal on nails using liquid stone technique: Instructions
There are other ways to create a liquid stone on the nails. You can create liquid stones in the technique of opal.
Instructions:
- For this, the nails are overlapped with a dense layer of the flower garden, after which it is necessary to draw an oval with a thin white gel polish using a thin brush that is dried. After that, a thin layer of the base and slices, that is, triangles, is worn, broken glass, that is, foil is laid out.
- Everything is dried in a lamp. Now it is necessary to tint the usual sculptural gel with a drop of pink and white gel polish. As a result, you will get a translucent pinkish mass, it must be applied with a rather thick layer to the prepared oval, so that it becomes convex.
- Then the stone is dried. You can inlaid the way you want. Most often, this is done with broths or small, holographic Straziki. Also, a similar technique is made in the form of a ring on the nails. This is usually done somewhere in the middle of the nail.
- A strip of ring itself can be performed in several ways. This is mainly combining small, holographic rhinestones with silver broths. And in the center the liquid stone itself is directly made, which is decorated around the perimeter with small pebbles and broths. The result is a pretty ring on the nails.
Geometric design on foil nails
Oddly enough, the foil can be used very non -standard. Now the fashion design is in fashion, as well as a variety of geometric forms. They can be traced everywhere, some impressionism. To create such a design, you will need not translation foil. For this, the nails are prepared as usual: they are overlapped with two dense layers of shellac, dried, overlapped with a finish without stickiness.
At the same time, it is desirable that it be a rubber top and very thick. Stripes of foil are laid out on wet top, 2 mm wide in the joint to each other, dried in a lamp. Further, with tweezers, pieces of foil simply break down. Thus, you will get a plain design, but with geometric lines. Ultimately, the ends are necessary to amuse the ends, and the manipulation ends on this. No processing is carried out on top, the nail is voluminous.
As you can see, the design with foil for nails is quite simple, interesting, unusual. It will help solve the situation if you want to create a beautiful design on the nails, but there is no much time.
