Panning for Gold



This paint job was inspired by another polish job I saw on another nail blog (http://www.nailnerd.com/purple-glitter-snazzle-nails/).  I liked the purple of that polish but wanted to try something with black and gold.  The black is not a solid black but it has tiny tiny silver dust in it.  Then one accent nail just has some loose glitter and hex glitter (just a few dust nuggets of gold).  The other accent nail is a full on huge nugget of gold.  This was thick.  Yellow base, glitter, hex glitter, multiple rhinestones, clear coat with some more glitter.  Then the fine seal coat.  It is a strange thing to actually be able to feel the wait of your nail (or rather the crazy amount of polish on it).  The feeling doesn't last long because you get used to it, but it is there.  I have never worn fake nails but I am guessing it was something like this.

Even with an accent nail all blinged out, it is a very subtle polish job.  My grandmother thinks I am crazy and asked if I ran out of polish.  One of these days I will turn her on to accent nails.

Do you name your polish jobs?  Is it too much to theme it out like this?
