Every now and then I get the urge to revisit a metallic nail polish. It took me FOREVER to find a polish that actually looks like a metal, lol! Of course Essie came through for the win with their mirror metallic line. I picked up the color Penny Talk which looks more like a cooper gold and I love it! The coverage is great in one coat and can stand alone without a clear top coat. However, for this manicure I wanted to add a glittery accent nail so I reached for Sally Hansen's Gem Crush polish in the color Big Money. Like Penny Talk this polish also has great coverage as it is not just a clear polish with a little glitter sprinkled in therefore you wouldn't need to pile on 100 coats!
Overall, I'm pretty happy with how this manicure turned out and I'll definitely be adding these colors to my nail rotation. Maybe you'll try this look!
Here's how I did it:
Step 1: You will need gold metallic polish, glitter polish, and top coat.
Step 2: A great manicure starts with clean nails that are buffed and filed to your desired shape.
Step 3: Paint one to two thin coats of gold polish. If using two coats, make sure to dry in between coats.
Step 4: Pick an accent nail and apply two coats of glitter polish. In my case, I applied three coats making sure that each coat dried completely.
Step 5: Repeat steps 3 & 4 to the other hand and seal all of your great polish work with a top coat. Wait until your nails dry and admire your good looking manicure! Fin!
