The most popular are the combined, nude, patterned and “French style” versions with a matte finish.
Combination with rubbing
A version of this design appeared not so long ago, but has already managed to win the attention and love of many girls. Thanks to rubbing, you can create various coatings: mirror, chrome, pearl, holographic, chameleon or prism.
Designs with rubbing and stripes are quite rare, but you can still see girls who prefer this manicure. It looks unusual, bright and memorable.
Attention! If you work on a computer or spend a lot of time on it, then there is a chance that a chip will form.
Drawings + foil
Foil is a fairly independent design element that does not require any other additional decor. But there is one exception that can’t ruin a manicure with foil, and that’s original nail art. Masters of the nail industry decorate nails with all sorts of interlacing and chaotic lines, complementing them with pieces of foil. A fashionable manicure with foil and designs can be covered with a matte finish, which will result in a very laconic and sophisticated design on your nails.
How to use nail foil
We will look at how to make such a coating with regular varnish! Let's look at nail art with transfer foil step by step.
- Cover your nails with base polish and dry for 1-2 minutes.
- We take the transfer foil and begin to print - we press it and sharply tear it off. You can perform this procedure several times until you get the desired effect.
- All that remains is to cover your nails with a colorless topcoat.
Important! Foil has two sides and very often girls get confused which side to print on. If you look closely, you will notice that one side is matte. This is the side we apply the foil on!
Also, very often when using this type of foil, you can use special glue. It is applied to the base color of the varnish, dried and then the printing procedure is carried out. If you use glue, you can get a perfect cast of foil for the whole nail.
If you have non-transfer foil, it will be extremely difficult to get a perfect casting. In this case, we recommend using such material to cut out different patterns, and attaching them to the plate using special glue.

Attention! The thickness and color of the strips is always at your discretion. The main feature is that such nails are in harmony with any of your looks, they look very gentle and feminine.

“Unicorn tear”, also known as “liquid metal”, is the undisputed manicure trend for the 2022-2023 season.

Agree that small pieces of foil perfectly complement the thin and subtle lines of marble nail art. Popular new products demonstrate top versions in pastel colors and newfangled nail art in emerald, black and blue-blue shades. A chic option would be a nude manicure with a marble pattern in a “negative space” design, completed with foil.
"Broken glass"
The well-known “broken glass” style manicure is again at the peak of popularity. Nail artists create stunning designs by filling all or part of the nail surface with holographic foil. Delicate and at the same time bright variations will be win-win options for complementing an everyday look or an evening look.
French
A trendy trend in the 2022-2023 season will be a manicure with foil on the tips.
Top artists lay out foil in an arc shape or completely seal the tips of the nails with mica, complementing the delightful designs with dots, watercolor strokes or inscriptions. An extremely delicate manicure is obtained by combining a nude base and golden material in the shape of a “French arch”, and the combination of black varnish and “broken glass” at the tips will show the originality and refined taste of its owner. World nail artists amaze us with the variety of nail design ideas with foil. Therefore, let’s quickly move on to a photo review of trendy new products, where you will undoubtedly choose something to your liking.
Foil and yucca flakes
If you want to be bright or highlight your image, this is what you need. Thanks to the characteristic shine of this manicure, your nails will not go unnoticed. In daily manicure options, such ideas are less common, but there are still girls who always want to shine.
Reference. Combining yucca flakes with stripes complements the manicure idea while adding a little edge.
The disadvantages include the following: if the design is poorly secured, there is a chance that your nails will get caught on clothing and any fabric material. As a rule, such a manicure will not last long.
Whatever the design, always check for defects, and if there are any, be sure to tell the master.
In conclusion, I would like to note that, based on the variety of design ideas, you will definitely choose the most suitable option for yourself, and your nails will be irresistible.
