Step by step: champagne 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 straight across the top, then soften the two corners with one light stroke so they don’t snag.
  3. Apply base coat and two coats of champagne.
  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. Massage in cuticle oil to make the manicure look salon-fresh.

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

Champagne 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 square nails good for short nails?

Yes — square is the strongest shape for short nails. Softly rounded corners (squoval) keep it from catching on fabric.

Does champagne nail polish suit my skin tone?

Pick a nude or pink one or two shades lighter or darker than your skin for a “your nails but better” look; add a warm hint on olive skin.
