Here's some I did with Wildfire Shellac then Red/Antique Gold foils randomly pressed in. Love playing with the Foils you can create lots of different & unique designs/looks. 😊 ImageUploadedBySalonGeek1389811633.498282.jpgImageUploadedBySalonGeek1389811650.698109.jpg

Did it on myself originally and everyone copied 😁
Don't know why mine came out better though and not as patchy and broken up as the one above ??

Do you HAVE to use shellac to use your foils? I do have shellac but is this the only way it sticks?
I wanted to give foiling a go on myself, so tried to do some full coverage ones on my toes. I applied a base coat, followed by "kami" nail foil glue, waited for it to go clear, fully pressed in the foil all over but hardly any of it stuck.
Is it something I am doing wrong? Is it a rubbish glue? Heeeellllppp pleeeeass see!!!

No it doesn't need shellac you can use any gel polish or foil glue, I found I got better results pressing it on and quickly removing like a wax strip and dabbing back over for any bits that missed as supposed to rubbing it on x

Ah fab. Thank you! I'll try again tonight 😘
 
My nails tonight after using my Silver Butterfly foil. The flowers and butterflies are clear so whatever color you use underneath is what they end up being. I used Decoupage by EpicNail.

These are my nails. CND Shellac in Purple Purple, purple foils, and laser effect stamping using Barry M silver foil effect. Apologies for the tiny bit of stamping not properly cleaned off. Now rectified.
