FOIL NAILS UPDATE

First off - THANK YOU!! Wow, you guys never cease to amaze me with your kindness. Yesterday I asked for some help with doing foil nails and you all came through for me. I appreciate it soooo much.


I ordered my foils from Transdesign. (You can find it under Nail Art and then Foils.) Here is my foil primer and foil sealer I ordered and used:





As far as my application techniques. First I painted my nails with the primer and waited for it to "dry" - you let the primer go clear. Then I applied my foils. And like Mary, I did mine backwards at first too, lol! When you use the foil, you place the plain side down on you nails and leave the design side facing you. After I finished applying foil to all my nails then I went and applied the Foil Sealer, which is where I ran into my problems. I did get a suggestion to wait a longer period of time before applying the top coat, so I will give that a shot. But from my searching online, I see this has been a problem for a lot of people, but I haven't seen where anyone has a solution.

SO that's my update so far.

FOIL FAIL

I ordered these foils a while ago and finally decided to use them. I thought they would make perfect New Years Eve nails.

Everything was going good until I applied the special top coat. I specifically paid for the top coat they claim you need with these foils so that there wouldn't be any problems. . . and there were problems. The top coat caused the foils to shrink, wrinkle and cloud!!! After a few nails, I switched top coats, Seche did the same thing.


HELP
I need help!!

• Why did this happen???
• What can I do or use so that this won't happen again?
• Can I wear these without top coat and have the foils stay on my nails for at least a day?

Below you will see what the original foil looked like before the top coat wrecked it!
