How to Use Nail Foil

Nail foil can create stunning, metallic effects on your nails, adding a unique touch to your manicure. Start with a base coat and your desired background color. Once dry, apply a nail foil adhesive and let it become tacky. Press the foil onto your nail, then gently rub to transfer the foil design onto the nail surface. Remove the foil backing, and finish with a top coat to seal the design. This technique can add a luxurious and professional look to your nails, especially when combined with the precision of a Russian manicure.
