‘Tis the season for gold and glitzy nails!! I figured I would play on a big trend of 2012- gold capped shoes! Here is my inspiration:

For my NYE nails I used some Color Secrets Pro nail stickers and my black China Glaze polish to create a gold tipped french manicure.
First I painted my nails completely black:

Then I used the french tip parts of the Color Secrets Pro nail appliques. The set comes with enough appliques that you can do 2 manicures, maybe 3 if you are smart about it!
I have never used nail appliques before. They aren’t true lacquer but they were easy to work with. They didn’t have a feeling of stickers– they seemed to be in the middle of a sticker and lacquer. I used a top coat over the manicure to seal it and it came out great! Was a big fan of these… they truly were metallic and looked amazing. Buy them here. Very fresh and festive manicure to have for New Years Eve!

We hope you had a very nice New Years with your family and friends! Cheers to 2013!
