GOLDEN FLORAL NAIL ART















Apologies for the delay.

To make up for the absence of nail art designs I'll post a few more designs in the next couple of day.
Next update: 30/01/2012



Materials:
Base coat and special top coat for foils;
Gold and gold glitter nail polish;
Floral pattern foil (transparent);
Foil glue.

Method:
1. Start by applying your base coat. Then apply the background colour (gold)
2. Apply gold glitter and allot it to dry.
3. Allow everything to dry, then apply a thin coat of foil glue. (It's very important that your background colour is completely dry, otherwise it will be messy when you pull out the foil.)
4. As soon as the glue is transparent and sticky (wait more or less 5 minutes), use the foil to transfer the design to your nails. I usually remove the foil very slowly and carefully. Doing this allows me to see what parts haven't stuck to the nail, go back and apply more pressure until it's transferred (sometimes this method works, sometimes it doesn't. If you need to amend the design, you can use acrylic paint).
5. To protect the design, apply a special foil top coat.
