Review: Rio Nail Foils

Hey guys, This is my final opinion on the Rio nail foils kit and, I really REALLY hate it! Seriously. I've had them for about a year now and I can't get them to look nice no matter what I do!
This is a picture of the kit (which I got from Google Images) it has very clear instructions on how to use the product too. I've tried them on fake nails, natural nails, with a base coat, without a base coat, a base colour, no base colour, I've tried all the foils, I've played around with timing, colours, application, tools, EVERYTHING! And all they end up looking like is this:
The one on the left is the gold foil, It applied okayish after much trial and error but still had patches. Then, as soon as I applied the top coat that was supplied in the kit it looked like this. The one on the right is usually how they end up looking, I apply the foil, rub it down and this is how much transfers. And it leaves a horrible residue too. I don't understand, is it the adhesive? Is it the time? Is it the foil? Base coat? Application? I wouldn't suggest buying this kit considering it was £25. If you want to try foiling I would suggest getting a cheaper kit so that if it doesn't work you won't have wasted that much money.
