DIY: GOLD LEAF MANICURE

What you need:

Manicure tools

Nail Polish

1/4 of a sheet of imitation gold or silver leaf

A good top coat

Instruction:

Start by snipping your gold leaf into several small pieces.  Try not to let it crinkle as you cut.

Then, paint on one coat of nail polish.

Once polish is tacky (read:  not wet, but sticky,) apply a strip of gold leaf to your nails or toes.

Carefully press it to your nail, to ensure that the leaf bonds with the polish.  Smooth out any wrinkles with your finger.

Continue on each nail.

Seal it with top coat, and you’re done.  Seriously.
