What types of foil are best to use for white manicure?
There are a lot of nail design ideas using foil. The technique is simple, so it can be easily recreated at home. The basis for the manicure will be white varnish, and almost all types and shades of shiny film can be combined with this color.
Most often, golden or silver colors are used, but for an elegant evening look, colored foil - pink, blue, green, lilac - will look chic. Marigolds with a red film look bright and unusual. Nail artists successfully combine silver or gold with color additions.
To create a fashionable design, several types of foil are used:
- Tear-off. With its help, it is good to make a mosaic style or “broken glass”, arranging the cut out figures in any order. The material is attached with special glue. A transparent fixative is applied on top. The mother-of-pearl color of the film is most often used, as it gives interesting shimmer in the sun, reminiscent of multi-colored pieces of glass.
- Thermofoil. The essence of working with it is to heat a piece of foil under a lamp or warm air. A pattern made from thermal film holds up better, as it adheres better to the varnish. When positioned correctly, there are no creases or irregularities. Often the entire nail is covered with this film, so it can be an excellent addition to white polish if it is applied to only one finger - the middle or ring finger.
- Transfer foil. With this material it is ideal to create a rainbow manicure, giving your nails a light dusting of golden or colored tint. It is good to combine white craquelure with this technique. It is very simple to create a miracle - you need to place a piece of transfer film on the dried base, smooth it with an orange stick, then remove the film, and cover the remaining spray with a fixative.
- Slider. Today you can find many different options for nail stickers. These can be strips of different widths, elegant patterns or interesting pictures of animals, flowers, objects. They are easy to use - glue the selected design to the dried base, and a beautiful white manicure with an elegant pattern is ready. Not everyone can draw an intricate pattern on their own, and it takes a lot of time. And anyone can glue a ready-made drawing. Sliders are used both as an independent element and in addition to the main pattern.

Nails with foil in other colors are less common. This design is mainly used in the summer or to create a festive look.

But don’t forget that stripes can either embellish your nails or ruin the beauty of the designer’s work. To do this, it is important to select a design that matches the shape and length of the nail plate. For long nails, any shape, width and arrangement of strips is suitable. You can layer wide and narrow stripes, and even combine them together. It will be beautiful to complement the drawing with an elegant diagonal narrow line.
Important! For short nails, you cannot use wide and transverse stripes, as this will shorten them even more. 1-2 narrow longitudinal lines along the entire length of the nail look best.

- one or more lines along the nail;
- diagonal arrangement of stripes;
- cross-shaped pattern along and across the nail plate;
