Remember when real gold leaf nail polish was all the rage, and every brand plus their moms came out with a variation? Then the craze seemed to rapidly die off, perhaps because the materials are difficult to get a hold of? This nail art was created during that time. That's right, it's time for another edition of: Spring Cleaning Out My Drafts!
I am 80% sure that this manicure used:
China Glaze Surreal Appeal
China Glaze Creative Fantasy
The gold leaf topcoat is Cirque Au.
Did you get into the gold leaf trend?
This is really pretty!! The colours go great together, I really wanted to get into the trend, it looked so fancy!! But alas I felt the gold leaf topcoats were too pricey for me :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colours.
ReplyDeleteLovely!!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous and reminds me of a fall sunrise!! Isn't it great when you go cleaning through swatches and you find one you have yet to post!! Easy peasy!! I love the gold toppers, I have I Can See Your Holo from Wingdust and even though it's the only gold flake I own, I cherish it!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteso cute !!! I love the gradient used
ReplyDeleteI think the coral is just the perfect color for this gradient! It really looked like a bonfire! That's cool!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I didn't get into this trend (gold leaf).. I thought it was too pricey for something I put on my nails :P
80% sure. LOL. If I don't write my polishes down that day, the next week I'd probably only be 50% sure. That's because I suffer from mom brain. I've never owned any gold leaf polish, and I still want some!
ReplyDeleteI still love gold leaf topcoats! One is sufficient though for me ;) Love the gradient!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I really like the goldleaf on top :)
ReplyDeleteI love the contrasting colour combo with the gold leaf
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous manicure! Absolutely loving it!
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I am still really into gold topcoats. I use them all the time - I think any glitter or special topcoat helps to even out gradients :)
ReplyDeleteThe gradient looks just like a sunset, so pretty.

I love the gold leaf, I think its good to be a little ritzy sometimes!
ReplyDeleteI love the way the gold flakes bring these shades together. Very sunset over the ocean, and I absolutely see the bonfire embers! Hah, I was so looking forward to platinum/silver flake being the next thing after the gold thing, but it didn't really get here...unless you count the crazyexpensive Mariah Carey ones, which I neglected to spend my money on. :(
ReplyDeleteSo artistic, so dynamic, I love it !
