Nails of the Week: Mint & Gold

image

I’m on the brink of diving headfirst into fall polish colors (how I love my deep reds and jewel tones), but while the weather is still relatively warm and autumn hasn’t fully come to town, I thought I’d do one final summer manicure, as a “last hurrah” of sorts.

Boy, was that a long sentence! Anyway, this manicure was inspired by a photo I came across on Pinterest.

I first painted my nails with a mint polish – Revlon “Minted” – then let that dry and added gold polka dots using Sephora by OPI’s “Charge It!”.

I added the dots by dipping the tip of a pencil into the gold polish, then dabbing it lightly on my nails. I found that easier to apply than by using the polish’s brush, since a pencil is sturdier and allows for more control.

Easy as pie! x
