Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use regular nail polish instead of gel?
While possible, gel polish provides a longer-lasting and more durable base for foil application. Regular polish is more prone to chipping.
How do I prevent the foil from wrinkling?
Apply a thin, even layer of foil adhesive and ensure it's properly tacky before applying the foil. Use a silicone tool to smooth the foil and prevent air bubbles.
What's the best way to clean up around the cuticles?
Use a small, angled brush dipped in acetone to carefully clean up any excess adhesive or foil around the cuticles.
How long will this foil design last?
With proper application and aftercare, this design can last up to two weeks.
Can I reuse foil sheets?
No, once a section of foil has been applied, it cannot be reused. Always use a fresh piece for each nail or section.
Do I need a special UV/LED lamp?
Yes, a UV/LED lamp is required for curing the gel base and top coats, which are essential for this design.
Aftercare Tips
- ✓Keep nails moisturized with cuticle oil.
- ✓Avoid picking or peeling the foil.
