How To Recreate It

FAQs
Can I use regular gold leaf instead of nail foil?
Nail foil is specifically designed to be thin and flexible. Gold leaf can be used, but it's more delicate and may be harder to apply smoothly.
How long does this design last?
With proper application and maintenance, this design can last up to 1-2 weeks.
What's the best way to clean up the edges?
Use a small brush dipped in nail polish remover to clean up any polish or foil around the cuticles.
Can I do this design with acrylic nails?
Yes, this design works well with acrylic nails. Just ensure the acrylic surface is smooth before applying the polish and foil.
What if I don't have gold foil?
You can substitute with gold glitter or gold chrome powder for a similar effect.
Is gel polish better for this design?
Gel polish is more durable and will likely last longer than regular polish, making it a great choice for this nail art. Remember to cure each layer properly.
