GOLD AND PURPLE FOIL NAIL ART

 

 

Foils most of the times react with top coat and in the end they have a crackled look.

PURPLE FLORAL ARABESQUE

Next update: 01/02/2012


Materials:

Base coat, regular top coat and special top coat for foils;

Black and white acrylic paints;

Purple foil;

Foil glue;
Dotting tool;
A thin brush.

Method:

1. Start by applying your base coat and let it dry.

2. Apply a thin coat of foil glue diagonally on the tip of the nail and let it dry for at least 5 minutes or until it is completely transparent. Then apply the foil. Redo this step until the tip is completely cover by the foil. Apply the special top coat and let it dry.
3. Start doing the arabesques using the acrylic paint and thin brush. I did the white bits first and as soon as it was dry I did the black bits. Do the dots using a dotting tool.

4. To protect the design, apply a top coat.

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.

SNAKE SKIN NAIL ART

Materials:

Base coat and special top coat for foils;

white, bronze and gold glitter nail polishes;

sponge;

snake skin pattern foil (transparent);

foil glue.

Method:

1. Start by applying your base coat. Then paint your nails white.

2. With a sponge randomly paint the snake skin using the bronze mail polish.

3. Still using a sponge apply some gold glitter here and there.
4. Let it all dry and 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.)
5. As soon as the glue is transparent and sticky, use the foil to transfer the design to your nails. Some people pull it out very quickly, but 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. Fortunately, the design was transferred to my nails without incidents).

6. To protect the design, apply a special foil top coat.
