Going for Gold

 

For my first paint job of the year I was inspired by the beautiful costumes worn by ice skaters (I couldn't tell you why though, I cant ice skate to save my life and live no where near an ice rink!) Anyway, I turned to the good ol' google images and searched and searched until my fingers were sore. Finally I found one that "spoke" to me [I promise I'm not insane] and here it is:

This is a bodysuit available online and I had to talk myself out of buying it, reminding myself what I a spaz I am in skates!







So I went to work trying to find the perfect colors to match my inspiration. I had just gotten 13 or so new polishes for Christmas and I was excited when I realized when two of those polishes would work perfectly for my nails this week! 


I Chose Essie's Butler Please:

   



And Nicole by O.P.I. Disco Dolls:

So after applying my base coat, I applied Butler Please. Then I debated between doing a gradient style glitter or a french mani style stripe.  This was my first time using Disco Dolls and I was surprised (and super excited) that it was a thicker glitter that is gold polish based rather than a traditional clear polish base. So I started to paint the french line at the tip and then applied a base coat! Here is the final product: { also, please excuse my crappy cuticles! This was before I discovered the miracle in a bottle that is Solar Oil.}
