Nail Transfer Foil is a thin shiny holographic sheet that is laid flat over the nail. We have over 90 different variations that may be used as a whole or you may snip the patterns individually. We at iGel Beauty aim to please! Each Nail Foil is of a different variety or color. That way, the Nail Transfer Foil is extremely versatile! Simply place any gel color, cure, add your foil over foil transfer gel, then gently peel nail foil back. The transfer layer will stick onto the gel surface. Top it off with Top Coat, then voila! A Nail Foil Masterpiece.
Make your day beauty-foil with our Nail Transfer Foil!

To begin, place acetone in a small bowl and directly soak your nails inside for 10-15 minutes. If they are still difficult to remove, do not pull or pick them off! Resoak them again. (Pro Tip! If you had used gems or charms that may be damaged by the acetone, you may want to take a cotton bud or q-tip with acetone to safely remove them first.)
Afterward, use Nourish Oil on your natural nails. Then, lightly buff the remains with a light buffer, while avoiding your natural nail.
