JAPANESE FLORAL FOIL SERIES

Individual foils are approximately 3cm wide and 100cm in length.

For best results we do recommend using a light colour polish for the or gel polish prior to applying the foil.

Nail foils can be applied in full over the natural nail or in smaller amounts to create patterns or random bursts of colour. It can be applied onto coloured nail polish, over gel polish, or over artificial nails.

*For best results please ensure you have TNS Foil Adhesive Gel (UV/LED) OR TNS Foil Adhesive & Water Based Top Coat
