FAQs

Can I use regular nail polish instead of gel?

While possible, gel polish provides a longer-lasting and more durable finish, especially for detailed designs like this. The foil also adheres better to gel.

How long will this design last?

With proper application and care, this design can last up to two weeks.

Is it difficult to remove the foil?

Removing the foil is similar to removing gel polish. Soaking in acetone or using gel polish remover wraps will effectively remove the design.

Can I do this design on short nails?

Yes, this design can be adapted to short nails. Adjust the size and placement of the gold foil accordingly.

What if I don't have nail foil adhesive?

Some people use a thin layer of top coat and apply the foil when it's tacky. But nail foil adhesive is recommended for best results.

Will this design clash with the bride's nails?

Usually not. White and gold are classic and subtle, complementing the bride's nails without overshadowing them.
