This is what happened View attachment 53848
So the foil stuck to some of the black shadow pattern but also to the base too :-/ xx

This is driving me bloody crazy I can't get it right either I am having the same problem! Was gonna start a thread on it then saw u were having this problem too. I'm using gelish and doing the same as I saw on the you tube vid posted on this page but that was with shellac. It's not sticking to the bit I want it to but sticking patchy all over the nail! What is going wrong? dying to get the knack of this cos it looks gorgeous xxx

Maybe this technique doesn't work with gelish? Try using additives over the colour and then paint your design, cure then foil?

Did u use Blackpool for the design? These are lovely. I found you need a good amount for the design to get good adhesion.

No I used Tinted Love as went with my pink theme lol. Seems the darker foils stuck better than the lighter ones which I have found in previous designs too. If I'd remembered I'd have used matching colours under the foils so when it misses a bit it's not so noticeable x

My nails ready for my holiday shellac desert poppy with orange glitter and gold foil, they remind me of the sunset!

I had a go at the embossing - it was great fun to do, and I look forward to doing more designs.
This is Pink Bikini with red additives to give a very subtle gradient. Ring finger design done with Blackpool and Gold Confetti foil. Little Swarovski crystal embedded in there too but you can't see it too well in this photo x
