I’m having one of those days where my brain doesn’t want to form sentences and my body is like “Nope were not doing stuff, try again tomorrow”. Does that ever happen to you? Ugh the worst. I did manage to drag myself out for a little while because I ran out of my Serum from The Body Shop. I didn’t replace it for like two weeks because I was feeling super cheap, but now I see a big (negative) difference in my skin so I finally sucked it up and got some today. While I was there I happened to notice that the sales girl had THE COOLEST gold nail designs, well I guess it was more of a layered effect than a design but you get what I mean.

It was layered and flakey and so so sooo metallic. Normally I would have just asked her what she used but like I said, my derp derp brain wasn’t working today.

Being the obsessive person that I am I kept thinking about her nails (seriously wtf kinda freak am I?) and I went through my polish collection to find a combination that might give me the same effect. I think I nailed it. . .that was not a pun.

WHAT I USED:

• One coat of Butter London “The Old Bill”
• Two Coats of OPI “Goldeneye”
• One Coat of OPI “Gaining Mole-Mentum”

To be honest it looks much better in person when it’s moving and stuff, so I’ll embed an instagram video I did of it so you can get the full effect. I’m pretty happy with how it came out.

So just goes to show if you get a little creative you can kinda figure out a way to create it, even though your brain isn’t functioning properly that day! I’m gonna go nap and watch something mindless on Netflix until I feel normal again, at least now I can do it with fun nails!
