Nail Foil - Application and Removal technique

Nail Foil has been the latest craze. You could easily find it anywhere nowadays especially at *scape open market. A few stores sells solely Nail Foils.

 It's a sight!

Curious me got my hands on one and decided to try it on....

Well to be honest i didnt quite like it, i still love drawing my own nail art. 

But it's up to individual, never know if you would like it till you try it!

Things you need:

1. Nail Foil of course 

         * note : do arrange nail foils to the closest shape and size to your nail as possible, do not get 

            one that is smaller then your nail. Better to have excess, you could trim off the excess later.

Here's how:

 Preparation - Trim cuticles, file, buffer nails. The usual Manicure

 Step 1 - Start by attaching Nail Foil to the base of your nail first.

                  - Gently press down the center of the nail foil, from the base to tip of nail, pushing air out

 Step 2 - Now start presseing down the sides of the foil. Do make sure there is no air trapped and 

                    the foil is smoothly pressed down

 Step 3  - Turn your hand around. Using a cuticle trimmer and trim off the excess nail foil

 Step 4 - Turn your hand back and trim off the sides around cuticle area.

                   * note: you could use a cuticle pusher to push the foil down, ensuring it really sticks

 Step 5 - Use a buffer and gently buffer down the free edge of your nail

There you have it! 

A good nail foil could last you a good 2 weeks. 

Taking it off:

1. Dip you nails into a bowl of warm water for 10mins. The edges should Flake up by then
2. Gently pull it up and peel off
3. Repeat dipping into warm water as much as you need.
4. Do moisturize your hand after

        *note: warm water is use to dissolve the adhesive bond
