What masters of nail design do not invent! Fashionistas are offered to depict a whole work of art on a nail plate or to make inlaid with precious stones, feathers, rhinestones, flowers and other improvised tools are also used. And not so long ago, manicure with the help of foil also came into fashion. Let's take a closer look at its technology.
Which foil to choose?
We will say right away that the one you use for cooking in the oven will not work. Better go straight to the store with accessories for manicure and choose those samples that you like. The range includes sheets of foil with a smooth or embossed coating. You can also pick up any color, from classic gold and silver to bright red and blue.
Pay attention to the type of product. Professional craftsmen make manicures using foil made in the form of thin sheets. It is not easy to work with such material, as it can easily break and deform. Beginners are advised to choose a transfer foil for nails. It is made in the form of sheets with a substrate of dense material. It is easy to cut, and also mounted on the nail plate.
You will also need glue, manicure sticks and acrylic paint to complete this nail design. Do not do without fixing varnish. Buy glue in a specialized store. It can be produced in the form of a liquid, which must be applied with a brush, or in the form of a pencil.
Foil manicure for a business woman
If you think that the shine on the nails is incompatible with office work, then you are mistaken. We offer you a variation on the theme of French manicure, which fits perfectly into the strict image of a business woman.
Choose a soothing color varnish, as well as foil to match. Apply a colored coating on the nail and wait for it to dry. Next, use glue to mark a wide strip along the edge of the nail. Using a wooden stick, carefully glue a piece of foil onto this surface and press it firmly to the nail. Excess material must be cut with scissors. Fix all this splendor with transparent varnish. You can make a manicure more playful by gluing the foil diagonally. Experiments are welcome.
Club foil manicure
That's where it is definitely not forbidden to shine, as it is in nightlife venues. Although with the manicure that we want to offer you, you can go anywhere. Your original nail design definitely will not go unnoticed in any situation.
Marigolds completely covered with shiny foil will attract hundreds of looks. There are two ways to perform such a manicure. The first option is simple and takes a little time. Cut ten plates from the foil to the size of each nail. Now apply a clear or colored varnish. Then glue the entire surface of the nail with glue and stick a piece of foil as evenly as possible. Clear varnish will complete your work.
If you want to look brighter, then use the second option. Cut the foil into small pieces, you can use a material of several colors. Next, repeat the same procedure as in the previous case. You will get an interesting mosaic on the nails. Each piece can be circled around the contour with acrylic paint, this will add graphics to the picture.
Foil manicure for artificial nails
Masters offer gel nail extensions to those whom nature has not rewarded with such wealth. We will not discuss the pros and cons of this option, but we'll talk about the use of foil in this case.
The essence of the extension is that with the help of special tips and gel the master forms a nail plate. Length and shape can be any. In this case, between the layers of the gel, you can place anything that your heart desires. If you use pieces of foil on the tip of the nail, you can get a very original flickering effect.
