Thank you all so much for watching! I was doing some experimenting with nail foil today and found out you can use gel polish as a replacement for nail foil glue. Just as long as it has a tacky layer it works great!
@fuzzybunny32359 ай бұрын
I didn’t have much success with star glue. If it’s applied too thick or thin, it doesn’t work. The gel foil transfer glue is a game changer! Thin, even layer - cure for 90 seconds and transfer foil. I get a clean, full transfer every time.

I’m sorry it didn’t work for you. I’ve never tried any other nail foil glues so I didn’t have anything to compare it to but it worked alright for me. I would definitely consider trying out gel foil glue. Thank you for the tip!

I have used foil glue, I’ve used foil gel. Has taken me much frustration and many tries to get the foil to stick at all. I have to say the old fashioned glue that air dries works far better than the gel cured with a lamp. Yours look great. X

so is the glue just applied to your bare, natural nail? How long after you apply the glue do you wait to apply the foil?
@nailswithmandy Жыл бұрын
You can apply it to your bare nail or over nail polish. I wait until the nail foil glue dries. The amount of time to wait for it to dry may vary depending on what brand of nail foil glue you have. Hope this helps!

I’ve never used regular nail polish topcoat over nail foil, but it could be the brand of topcoat you’re using.
@jenpierce23858 ай бұрын
With nail foils regular top coats seem to kinda eat the foil it's so weird.. I'm pretty sure people use water based topcoat if they don't use gels (UNT for instance yes it's a peel off base coat but can be used for foil and chromes then you can apply your topcoat of choice).. there is a way Sista I promise you that.. search here on KZbin.. type in foils without gel products 🥰
