In my last set of reviews I actually thought I picked this item, but this time I made sure I did.
I absolutely love the look of the foil, and so far, foil glue left lots to be desired.
This time I used Born Pretty - Transfer Printing Gel, Item #46080.
This was my first time using this kind of product, so I was not quite sure what to expect, so I started with the grey gel polish I purchased myself couple of years ago.
I applied one coat of Transfer Printing Gel, and cured under my lamp. This gel was slightly thicker than I am used to, but you don't have to worry about hurting the gel underneath, so take your time. I discovered that having more gel on the brush made it easier to apply. You don't have to worry about the color as this gel is clear, so whichever color you picked as your base, will be unchanged except for the part covered with foil.
This was the sticky coat that foil supposed to stick on. I picked two different foils. One is with the Strawberry Shortcake images, and I had this foil for a several years, but never had much luck with it. Second one is swirly holographic pattern I purchased in last year or so.
I pressed the foil over the nail, and voila! Everything was transferred like a magic!
Pretty impressive, even the old foil transferred without any problem. I tried this one with the glue, and holographic part would transfer but plain color would not, at least not cleanly or completely.
All that I needed here was one coat of No Wipe Top Coat, and I was done!
Easy-peasy!
Totally recommending this product, and while there, remember to use my discount code SHGK31 to save additional 10%.
Have an amazing day!
Cheers!
