Nude & Gold Mani: Brought to you by The Frugalista Diaries

90% of the time I have something bright and intense for my mani’s and pedi’s so every now and then I want to treat myself to something a bit more on the muted side. Since gone are the days of the delicate (and dated) pink and white french manicures, I thought I’d take a stab at a nude and gold tipped french manicure instead. The right amount of neutral looked great with a subtle, almost missed, pop of metallic.

 

Step 1: I started out painting my nails with Julep’s Alyson.

 

Step 2: Let It dry completely…  this color also looks so pretty on its own, right?

 

 Step 3: Grab some tape (unless you prefer using page reinforcements) and cut thin strips to go across the tips of your nails…

 

Step 4:  Paint with your gold, I used Julep’s Felicity. Remove tape & finish it off with top coat. Let dry.

 

Voila!
