You Will Need (5 things)

  • 18 Nail Art Foil Glue
  • 2 Nail Art Foil In Gold
  • Metallic gold Nail Polish
  • Matte Nail Polish top coat
  • Top Coat Nail Polish for nail art foils (I like Picture Polish Revolution)

Steps (7 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Start by painting you nails with the metallic gold nail polish.

  2. 2

    Apply the mattifying top coat. I used Picture Polish g'day matte, but other brands include OPI Matte Top coat and Essie Matte about you.

  3. 3

    Get your foil glue and gold foil strips ready.

  4. 4

    Apply a thin layer of nail foil glue just to the french tip of your nail.

    When it's first applied it will have a milky appearance. Wait about 5 minutes for it to dry and ensure it has gone completely transparent.

  5. 5

    Gently press the nail art foil onto the glue with the gold side up. The foil will stick to the glue and the clear backing film will pull away.

  6. 6

    Repeat on each nail.

    Apply a nail foil sealer to just the tips of your nails. I use Picture Polish Revolution. Water based top coats work best, regular top coats can cause the foil to crease.

  7. 7

    Admire your work.
