Black with Gold Accents

After 5 months backpacking with no nail polish at all, I caved and bought myself the basics from a well place Sephora at the Rome train station. One of the great things I picked up was a set of three gold nail decoration pots - with gems, caviar and gold leaf! Immediately I knew I wanted to pair it with black and this is what I came up with!

When I first wanted to do this design, I planned on having the accent nails as being fully covered with the gold foil. However, it was just way to fragile to even try shape it to my nail and apply it without ripping! Instead, I used two sets of tweezers and very carefully ripped it into small shards and then placed them on my nail with a wet top coat. I actually think in the end this look is much better! I used Sephora Black Lace for the polish.

I always forget to take photos of my thumb but it has the same design as my pinky and index finger. I love this design, feels good to be doing nail art again!
