Flakes & Foils

Transfer foils use a dedicated foil transfer gel adhesive: apply a thin even layer to your cured color, cure 60 seconds under LED (2 minutes UV), press the foil shiny-side-up onto the tacky adhesive, rub firmly with a finger or foil tool, then peel away. The foil pattern transfers to the adhesive. Don't handle the foil too much with bare fingertips — skin oils interfere with transfer. Seal with no-wipe top coat.

Loose flakes (mylar, sequins, iridescent pieces) apply onto an uncured color gel or onto a clear gel anchor dot: pick up the flake with tweezers, place it in position, flash cure to lock, then encapsulate with builder gel or thick top coat for a smooth flush finish. Best for: winter holiday menus, glass-skin chrome looks, statement accent nails. Wholesale to US salons. Free ship $100+.
