Nail foil: a new way to do manicures and pedicures – for those who can’t use gel polish

The durable gel polish has taken manicure and pedicure to a new level, making it more convenient and affordable. But now some masters are beginning to abandon varnishes – and offer their clients to cover their nails with a film that already has a certain color or even a certain design.

Manicure and pedicure with gel polish are not only beautiful, but also very practical. This coating can be worn for at least a few weeks. And some keep the same nails for more than a month!

However, gel polishes are not for everyone. It happens that they simply do not stick to the nails – or cause allergies. Also, a durable coating cannot be achieved during visits to a podiatrist – for example, when you need to treat a fungus or onycholysis. It was for such situations that nail foils were invented.

Films for manicure and pedicure appeared on the nail market just a few years ago and have become popular only in the last few months. Due to their thinness and flexibility, they easily adapt to the nails and are even suitable for home use. At the same time, they are also part of the arsenal of some nail masters, especially for those clients who are not suitable for varnishes.

In addition, such films are very inexpensive: in the markets, sets sufficient for at least 2 applications (that is, for 2 months of wear) cost about 400-500 rubles. Gel polish will cost several times more!

Nail films can be used independently, covered with ordinary clear varnish. And if you want to be as confident as possible in durability, it is better to combine them with a base for gel polish and drying under a UV lamp – if the condition of the nails allows.

In general, such nail foils are no different from stamping, which is used to create nail designs with intricate patterns and inscriptions. And yet, to say that they are a full-fledged replacement for gel polish is quite difficult: such a manicure and pedicure is a little different. With their application, you will also have to tinker a little: cut the right size, suitable for the individual shape of the nails, and apply carefully so that the film does not bulge in some places.

However, the small disadvantages of such films are fully outweighed by the significant advantages for many. Judging by the reviews in the markets, the Russians are delighted with the new way of doing manicures and pedicures – which lasts no less than gel polish, allows you to experiment with designs, but at the same time to save a lot.
