Gilded tips

I've been really into yellow gold lately. It seems this metallic tone is once again back in full force in the jewelry world, and taking front and center.

I had shellac on my nails for a few weeks now, and after a soak off and regular mani last week, my nails have felt brittle.  I decided to trim them down and apply my favorite nail strengthener  [I love it because it has s light sheen to it and dries superfast].  After one coat I thought my natural tips needed a little boost- so I opted for a pop of gold!

I cut arc shapes out of scotch tape strips and placed them over my dried-strengthener coated nails just leaving a thin exposed tip. I applied 3 coats of OPI "Glitzerland" polish waiting about 45 seconds in between coats, then removed the tape strips before the polish dried.  Top with another coat of strengthener and voila!
