Step by step: milky white gold foil nails

  1. Prep: push back cuticles, buff the shine off the nail plate and wipe with alcohol so the base coat grips.
  2. Shape: File the sides in a straight line toward the center and round the tip softly, like the top of an almond.
  3. Apply base coat and two coats of milky white.
  4. While the last coat (or a sticky gel layer) is still tacky, press on small flakes of gold foil with tweezers.
  5. Smooth them down and seal with one or two layers of top coat.
  6. A drop of cuticle oil at the end makes the photo-ready difference.

Pro tip: Use two coats of top coat over foil so the flakes don’t catch on hair or sweaters.

Milky white gold foil nails: FAQ

How do you apply nail foil flakes?

Press the flakes onto a tacky layer (gel or nearly dry polish) with tweezers or a silicone tool, then seal with top coat.

Are almond nails strong?

They are stronger than stiletto because the tip is rounded, but the narrow tip is more fragile than square. Medium length with gel or builder gel is the sweet spot.

Does milky white nail polish suit my skin tone?

Milky whites look fresh on every skin tone; on deeper skin they create a striking, clean contrast.
