PRODUCT INFO
This kit is a TWO STEP design with a Nail Foil base and a Nail Transfer Tattoo on top.
To achieve a flawless transfer, our Nail Foils require a UV cured foil gel layer to adhere to. Take them to your favourite nail tech to apply.
Our Nail Transfer Tattoos are printed onto special transparent film using the latest print technology. This thin, flexible film is water activated, which enables it to wrap snugly over the nail surface for fast, easy nail art application.
