Foil for manicure: features
Foil for nail design is a coating that creates a bright, unique design on the surface. A wide variety of colors of the foil coating allows you to combine it with various shades of varnish. With the help of it, the master creates a unique inimitable pattern, which is characterized by increased resistance to mechanical stress, retaining an attractive appearance for several weeks.
Variety of red foil manicure designs
Chaotic Patterns
To create chaotic patterns on a red base, you can use foil in the following shades:
- gold;
- silver;
- black;
- dark brown.
In order for unique patterns to remain on the surface of the nail plate, you need to tightly attach the foil strip to the nail, then tear it off sharply. As a result, a pattern is imprinted on the varnish. As a rule, the foil coating is obtained with the effect of scuffs, microdamages.
Broken glass
Holographic foil is used to create the effect of broken glass. A manicure will look impressive if you use deep shades of red as a base:
- burgundy;
- wine;
- mahogany;
- jam.
Before the decoration, the foil is cut into small pieces so that outwardly the fragments resemble broken glass. Then a classic manicure is performed and covered with red gel polish. Next, using tweezers, the master spreads each piece on the nail, imitating the surface of broken glass. Red manicure with the effect of broken glass is very popular for several seasons, not yielding to new and bright ideas of nail design.
Foil strip geometric patterns
To create geometric patterns on a red base, we recommend using a gold or silver transfer foil. Shiny stripes can be randomly arranged to create unusual patterns on your nails. If you prefer a more discreet design, then we suggest sticking 1-2 even vertical or horizontal stripes on one half of the nail plate, and decorating the other with self-adhesive foil.
Camouflage
To create such a manicure, you must have at least 2 shades of foil, for example, purple and gold. Onthe nail, covered with red varnish, is first applied with a golden color. An uneven shiny layer is formed with voids in different places. These voids must be filled with purple foil. The chaotic and uneven arrangement of contrasting shades creates a beautiful camouflage effect.
New Year's manicure
Thinking what kind of manicure to do for the New Year? Red in the New Year's manicure looks especially elegant and solemn, as it symbolizes Christmas tree decorations, bows, an outfit and a gift bag of Santa Claus. What can make such a manicure more elegant and bright? Of course, golden foil and shiny rhinestones. In the New Year's design, we advise you to decorate all the nails with a foil coating, and highlight one with rhinestones. In the light of Christmas tree lights and spotlights, nails will shine and shimmer, creating a truly festive atmosphere.
Matte manicure
To create a luxurious velvet finish, nail masters use a special matte foil. If you want to add bright accents, use sequins and rhinestones for decoration. If you don't have a matte foil on hand, you can use a regular one, and cover your nails with a matte transparent top to create a velvet effect.
Red jacket
Another option for decorating with foil in red manicure is to create a jacket. We use the foil to draw the “smile” line. In order for the strip along the free edge to be uniform, without voids, it is necessary to apply a foil to the surface and carefully smooth it with a wooden stick, trying to imprint it into the nail. Then, with a sharp movement, tear off the strip from the plate. Such a jacket, as a rule, lasts longer than usual, since the foil coating is more resistant to mechanical damage.
