Gold Leaf Manicure


Hi Everyone,
I put together this really quick and easy mani/pedi tutorial for you of my holiday nails! I went to Seville in Spain for a week and it was amazing!
My nails are really weak and brittle from weeks of acrylics at college so I decided to do a gel manicure with my at home Sensationail kit, but this could just as easily be done with regular Nail Varnishes! 


My Product Picks:

Gold Leaf- 99p Get it here // Nurture Oil- £9.50 Get it here // Sensationail Kit Get it here // Colours I used: Midnight Rendezvous- £10 Island Oasis- £10

1. Tidy up cuticles and nails in preparation for your nail design


2. Apply Base coat to fingers and toes and allow to dry (or cure for 30 secs if you're using gel)



3. Choose your desired colour and apply first coat to nails (allow varnish to dry or cure gel     60 seconds)



4. Apply second coat and while still tacky use tweezers to tear off pieces of gold leaf and place them on nail in desired effect. Pat down the gold leaf lightly to ensure it is smooth (dry or cure for 60 seconds)


5. Seal the gold leaf in place with a top coat and allow to dry, or if using gel cure and remove the sticky top layer of the gel

6. Apply some cuticle oil and massage in to finish!
