Blixz Nail Foils

My mum's bought me some of these for Christmas and I was just wondering if anyone's tried them (or nail foils by a different brand) and if they are difficult to apply?

the ones you do with heat? yeah they are difficult to apply by yourself i'd get someone else to do it, once they're on they're on for good so you gotta be accurate aswell lol mine lasted a good 2 weeks

I had no idea you had to apply them with heat lol how does that work?

Well, I found this:



Apply a thin layer of the adhesive which will go on cloudy and wait until it becomes clear - if you try to use the foil whilst it's still cloudy it won't stick

Making sure the foil is the right way up (backing on top) press on to the nail, I use my finger to smooth it out making sure there are no creases/bubbles etc.

Then pull off the backing - I used to cut out squares the size of the nails, some people work off the whole roll - do whatever you find comfortable.

Apply a layer of top coat and you're done


Hope it helps!

My mum got mine from an eyebrow styling stand thing in my local shopping centre in Brighton...but I reckon you could probably get them online. Mine cost about a tenner.
