Ho, Ho, Ho, Baby! Holiday Nail Foil Tutorial

Quick Answer

The Ho, Ho, Ho, Baby! nail foil from Colour Flash gives you a festive Christmas manicure in minutes. Follow these steps to apply it smoothly and make it last.

Step-by-Step Application Guide

1. Prepare Your Nails: Start with clean, dry nails. Push back cuticles and gently buff the nail surface to remove shine. Wipe with alcohol or nail polish remover to remove any oil or dust. Skipping the buffing step can cause the foil to lift early.
2. Choose the Right Size Foil: Select a nail foil that matches the width of your nail. If it's too wide, trim it with scissors to fit just inside the edges. Avoid overlapping onto the cuticle or skin. A foil that is too large will wrinkle and not adhere properly.
3. Apply the Foil: Peel the foil from the backing and press it onto your nail starting at the cuticle. Smooth it outward toward the tip to remove air bubbles. Use a cuticle pusher or your fingertip to press firmly. Press from the center outward to avoid trapping air bubbles.
4. File the Excess: Use a fine-grit file or buffer to gently file the tip of the nail at a 45-degree angle. File in one direction only to avoid lifting the foil. Wipe away any dust. Filing back and forth can tear the foil and shorten its wear time.
5. Seal with Top Coat: Apply a thin layer of clear top coat over the entire nail, including the tip. Let it dry completely. This protects the design and adds shine. A top coat is essential for lasting wear, especially on the nail tips.
