Twinsie Tuesday Something Blue

Hey Dolls

 

We are onto Something Blue this week for Twinsie Tuesday.  I chose an unnamed glitter from the mini Sally Girls polishes at Sally's.  I started with a base of China Glaze's For Audrey and then two thin coats of this pretty glitter.

Gold Leaf Topcoat

There are a few swatches going around that have gotten me OBSESSED with gold leaf topcoats!  This one by Ash from Art Evolve, and this one from Polish Amor.

 

I cannot seem to find the OPI Man With the Golden Gun topcoat, so I decided to make my own!  I picked up some gold leaf from Micheals, it cost me $6.00.  Now this is a big pain in the butt to make, but the pay off is pretty great!

 

This beautiful soft teal China Glaze is For Audrey.

 

 

This pretty pink is an un-named Sally-girl polish.

 

So this is how the gold leaf came when I bought it.  The best way I have found to make it, is to use a piece of paper and an exacto knife and just slice the leaf into tiny pieces.  It takes some patience!  When I got the pieces small enough, I added about 10 drops of clear polish and swiped the polish over my nail, I did have to dot a few pieces on here and there to get the look I was hoping for.  A generous coat of Seche Vite made it glassy smooth!
