Summer is still going strong, and this eye-catching design blends the sparkle of gold with a punch of pink to complement the lively spirit of the season. I was inspired by the radiance of gold foil against bronzed skin, and I opted for a graphic element in a brazen shade of pink. This striking look is a fun and unexpected way to play with a hint of glitz. Keep scrolling to see how you can nail the look, too!
The Products
To get this look, I used a blend of gold and hot-pink polishes. From left to right: Essie First Base Base Coat ($9), Laqa & Co. Cagney Gold Fleck Manicure Duo ($16), Laqa & Co. Chubs Nail Polish ($13), Laqa & Co. Bounty Hunter Nail Polish ($13), Essie Good to Go Top Coat ($9), and tape.
Step One
Step Two
Next, to cover the whites of my nails, I painted on the gold metallic polish. This is the base of your look. I recommend waiting at least 30 minutes for the polish to dry, as the next step involves tape.
Applying a topcoat at this point helps to smooth out any of the foils and the layer of gold polish before you get to the next step. Also, using a fast-drying formula can help speed up drying time so you can get to the next step faster.
