An FYI for those using those types of foils. Take a make up pad or a nail wipe with rubbing alcohol on it, and wipe the back of the foil 1st. There is a yellowish backing on the foils, if your remove that 1st, you'll get a better transfer of your foils. That backing can prevent foils from sticking/working. Hope that helps 😊 Thanks for the experiment, I think it was worth the try. I think you could even do a part 2 follow up trying other glues, like eyelash glue or gorilla glues or tacky glues from the sewing and craft department... Thanks for sharing... 😊

[@nicollelosonczy9000]

Thank you so much. I have nail builder gel I was going to try, but I will try the alcohol because it was not sticking with the clear nail polish. I am going to try eyelash glue. First I'm going to try clear nail polish and put some alcohol wipes on the foil. I really appreciate everybody's input.

[@catpride1323]

@@nicollelosonczy9000 You know, personally I've always wondered if you cured the gel, with the foil on it, if it would work. Either it be foil gel or a builder gel, a thin layer, then touch down the foils, lightly and then cure. I always wondered if the foil would attach during the curing process. Experimenting can be so much fun... lol You kinda get to be a mad scientist... lol 😊

[@jenpierce2385]

@@nicollelosonczy9000 if you can get wet n wild.. buy some clear nail protector it has a black lid.. anyway if you put a little square like the size of your nail on the foil (the side you'd apply to your nail) and let it dry.. it will peel off like a decal or you can use a no wipe topcoat.. there's a video using dazzle dry and foils basically the same concept but she uses a nail art mat but it's definitely easier to put it right on the foil.. the only reason I do it this way is bc it peels up perfectly no more missed spots ❤️

Im a whole 3yrs late but thanks for sharing. Helpful tips

[@girlienails66]

Better late than never!!! Thanks for watching!! Hope you stay 💜🤗

[@tiachandler5350]

I was saying the whole time you were testing the others I was saying wait gel works u can use a base coat or a top coat that is sticky and it will work .....and you ended up doing it lol ..... omg the dogs are so stinking adorable

[@kerribrode4181]

Mine wont work bc they are the kind that uses a uv light

[@weekendnomad5038]

Didn’t work for me Blah

[@carolynbadcock5718]

Eyelash glue works too.

[@girlienails66]

I don't do eye lashes but good to know! 👍😊

[@Bella-fl5ok]

Omggg… I’m going to give it a try! Lol

[@nicollelosonczy9000]

Thank you thank you thank you. What a great idea!

[@Babysongebob1]

Trying this in the morning

[@emilyann9421]

I want you to know @carolynbadcock5718 that I tried this tonight and it worked! Literally stayed up until 5 Am. to try and find a glue that worked. I tried wood glue, nail polish top coat, gel both top and bottom tried. Couldn't figure it out. I was watching this and said to myself "damb I've already tried these. But maybe I'm wrong " then I saw your comment! I'll never look back my friend!❤

[@taylorotis8978]

3 years later and im halfway through nail school and i am SO glad i found this video. i ordered a bunch of transfer foils with a coupon i had and it didnt come with the glue and i want to try them so bad! 😫 gonna try my gel base coat, thank you ❤ definitely following you too, im gonna need some tips!!!

[@girlienails66]

Thank you so much! 💜 I just bought a bunch more foils so definitely will be doing more videos shortly 🤭

[@nicollelosonczy9000]

I would think waiting for it to dry would not work. I would try it when it's still tacky.

[@catcat63527]

For me, school glue worked really well. I just put on a very thin layer and then put the foil on it asap. After that, I smoothes it before letting it dry there. Got them perfectly smooth and shiny.

[@girlienails66]

Oh great tip!! 👍 😊💜

[@rhondaarmstrong6790]

I got some foil glue at Hobby Lobby's. If don't want to order any.

[@CocoBeige3]

Thank you for testing, all these are good, Gel hasn’t worked for me 🙃, I will dry a quick dry top coat and see 👍🏾 --------------------- For anyone reading comments, I’m replying to this video years later …This proves just do your content ! people will find it when it’s needed ! Especially if God is leading you to do it , Do it now ! Don’t delay people 🙏🏾✨

[@CocoBeige3]

Update : Quick dry didn’t work 😭. I used Rubber base and used acetone to get the stickyness needed and it worked ! 👍🏾 but after all this I may just have to get the “nail foil glue” 😅.

[@girlienails66]

Lol yes foil glue is the best 👌

[@bakedatassup]

I wonder if you put the foil on while it was still wet and allowed it to dry with it on if that would work. Maybe get some even coverage and not be so patchy.

[@sarahwaters10sw]

Putting foils on isn't the problem for me it's Eve freaking top coat I get wrecks my freaking foils

[@girlienails66]

Are you using regular polish? If so I found you must put a water base top coat on the foil first. Then once dry you can add your regular fast dry top coat. The water base top coat protects the foil so it won't crinkle and fade.

[@suzettelove4mj16ackerman5]

Just doing a touch n go crackled marbling is the most common way these will work if you did a full coverage transfer test that would've been the best to show what works.

[@HarshuNails]

Great testing! With clear & with gel works better than the others!

[@lindabrooks66]

yeah, I think all of them are hit and miss - I've tried using gel base coat and had only very poor results - waiting for actual foil glue to be delivered today -- nothing I've tried has worked well enough for me to want to leave the foil on

[@girlienails66]

Yes I found the air dry foil does work the best. Also the gel foil glue works too but I figured out you have to let the nail cool down for a minute after you take your hand out of the lamp, then apply the foil. I was never waiting long enough. 😒

[@njfinestma1]

Glad to help ☺️

[@alylouuu]

What about super glue/gorilla glue on nail extensions, not on your natural nail?

[@TamaraChapmanbikergranny]

Hmmm I wonder if one could use leafing size. The foils and metal leafing are pretty much the same. I would use the water base sizing though especially when the nail is already mounted on the hand.

[@girlienails66]

Yes you can use the leafing foils 😁💜

[@emyf9197]

What did u use? I can't get an even transfer at all

[@amandafriesen4026]

I think if you put more pressure on the foil or even rubbing on it instead of just tapping it on the nail and pulling off it would work better also. 😊

This is obviously not the way to apply the nail foil on the nail plate at first place. Unless you wanted the ragged design, which in that case is more convenient to use glitter foil. The truth is , yeah you got to have a UV and nail foil glue to get the expected results.
