Nail Foils

My first attempt with "at-home" nail foils

I have always loved nail art and I am defiantly a Konad lover but I have always avoided nail foils at home for one main reason: I have had them done professionally before and I still managed to wreck them in a few days dispite claims they would last two weeks. Anyway I saw nail foils for very cheap in Primark and decided I would give it a go.

Instructions

  1. Take clean lightly buffed nails and select a nail foil. I found i had the trim them to fit.

  2. Now remove the backing and place the curved edge of the nail foil against the cuticle. Using the heat from a hair dryer smooth the foil over the nail pressing firmly and folding down over the tip of the finger.

  3. Use a nail file to file off the excess foil in a downward motion. Now on to the next nail....
