Easy Peasy Dipped into Gold Nail Art
A few days ago, during a boring afternoon, I decided to do my manicure. I opted for a very dark nail polish, I choose an intense plum from the First Lady line, it’s the number 24 and it isn’t in the Italian market yet. So, yes it’s a sneak peek!

Again I let the nail polish to air dry and then I applied two coats of a super cheap glitter top coat I have…
