These are not great pictures. I am ok to do foil details but I am not getting it right with full nail.

My peacock foil works great Rebecca. I use my foil adhesive and cure for 2 mins like the others have said xxx

Ah I haven't tried it with adhesive Heather, just tried with inhibition layer. I'll buy some adhesive. Thanks hun xxx

I'm having major problems with foils I use OPI Gelcolor which I know they don't stick to so I tried some adhesive and still couldn't get it. It was a little better randomly dotted about but try too much and it just pulls the rest off. Couldn't get full coverage. Tried it with the shellac top coat as it must stick to that, still failed I've used different foils including the CND ones, watched YouTube videos (fingernail fixer makes it look so easy hehe) to no avail. Any tips you guys? I'm getting desperate. Thanks xx

Have you tried the glue method? You will need to use foil glue after you have topcoated & cured. Wipe inhibition layer then paint on glue, cure. Then smooth foil over nail using a nail pad not your finger (I use soft landings pads). The foil should stick to the nail to give full coverage, topcoat, cure! HTH, it takes a bit of practise but you'll get there! 😄

Can anyone tell me how they store their foils? Some foils I bought only come in little bags and id like to sort them all out into little pots but I can't seem to find the right size! I love foils!! 😁

Hiya I get little pots from a seller on eBay called , Shc_web , they sell lots of different sizes n shapes. They sell small tubes, ones like what you get some foils in . I get their pots for acrylic and foils. They have 1 ml , 2 ml, 5 ml , 10 ml and 30 ml tubes . 😊

The blue is gorgeous! Did you use a black gel polish colour underneath?

I've tried 2 wholesalers today and can't get foil adhesive. Any recommendations please? I also broke my lamp and 2 bottles of Gelish, so I need cheering up 😭 xx

eBay nail foil adhesive. Why can I ask do people use the glue as well if you can stick into the tacky layer?
