THE NEW LIGHTNING FOIL GEL Rapid has arrived!
Create custom-looking nails with patterned transfer foils. A special effect that your guests will love! You can use the foils as decor only when glued in detail, built-in or even on the entire surface of the nail.
How to use it?
- Matte the surface of the finished artificial nail / gel varnish with a buffer.
- Apply the foil gel according to the pattern (this can be just a decoration or even the entire nail surface) and then knit (according to your lamp for 5-30 seconds). DO NOT FIX ANYWHERE AFTER BINDING! This is when Foil Gel leaves a super immovable, sticky layer.
- Cut a piece of the transfer foil and place it on the bound foil gel, press it firmly (eg with your finger, a silicone pen , an orange stick or even a lint-free cloth , stroking it everywhere), and then remove / pull it off with a quick, firm motion. layer.
- You can then close the surface with a light gel.
EXTRA TIPS / HELP
- How long does it take to set the foil gel?
The setting time varies in each lamp, so the first time you use it, you should experiment with a suitable setting time for your lamp on a 1-1 sample, which can be 5-30 seconds depending on the strength of your lamp.
(eg 10pm in EVO-X LED UV lamp, 30s in NL-36 UV lamp)
- How do I know that the foil gel has set?
If the foil no longer flows / slips on it (and when you take it back the gel does not stretch but sticks to it), do not continue to bind. If you over-bind, the foil gel will no longer adhere properly.
- Wrinkled or rubbery surface remains soft:
Apply very thinly, otherwise the surface may remain soft or wrinkled.
- Does not stick to the entire surface:
The material is too bonded, it takes less time in the lamp.
- The foil is too hard, I can’t press it on the entire surface:
You don’t have to push it everywhere right away, try to push / “scrape” it from one corner / edge, and as you go, the foil will come off the substrate. If necessary, you can also cut the film a little during the bends.
- The film does not stick to it at all
You may have put the wrong side on the sticky layer. Make sure that the glossy half of the foil is always on top, put the matte on your nails. Not sure which half to print on the transfer foil gel? If you scratch the surface a bit, you will immediately see which side is the “color”.
Tip: Before use, wipe the back of the transfer film with a lint-free paper towel soaked in Cleanser to remove greasy and other contaminants.
Tip: You can even use our transfer foil built into your nails, so you can get unique and special decorations with it!
