Carol, I am doing exactly what you are describing only I have packets made up ahead of time with 10 foil sheets and 10 cotton pads, ready to go, just grab a set and apply. I am using the cotton squares that you can get cheap at Sallys that are for makeup. I use cheap highlighting foil from Sallys as well. I take five sheets of foil, cut in half on the long side so it makes approx a 6X6 square. I then take five of the square cotton pads and cut them in half to make 10. fold the foils in half and add the cotton into the fold and they will neatly store in a basket for when you need them.
To use, I first take my sanding band and remove all of the shine from the Magic Manicure. I take the cotton pad, soak it with acetone (It was a 2 x 2 cut in half andd you fold that half in half to make a small square) and apply it to the nail. I then put the foil under the finger, fold the top over the front of the finger, fold the right sides to the left, then take the left sides and fold over to the right and wrap around finger. This holds it tight. After getting all 10 wrapped, I pull down my table light for extra heat. If you are having trouble, my guess is that either you are not using enough acetone or you aren't applying foil tight enough. Also, when I remove the foil, I remove one at a time and push the product off with my cuticle pusher. I will do maybe two nails and then prep the nail, lightly with my sanding band. That gives you time to let the other nails process long enough because sometimes we work too fast and some nails aren't fully soaked off yet. Hope that helps!
