Goldstrike nail art tutorial

I haven't done a nail art tutorial in a while ^^! In this blogpost I will show you how to create goldstrike nails. Goldstrike is actually a cinnamon liqueur containing gold snippets. YES, GOLD FLAKES! It contains 50% alcohol and on their website it says that the gold flakes are 24 carat. I've created a nail art with golden flakes/glitters which made me think of Goldstrike, hence the name. Read more to see how you can create this nail art...

Step 1: Apply a base coat and let it dry.
Step 2: Apply a black nail polish on all of your nails and wait till this is dry.
Step 3: Create the effect as seen below with a make up sponge. Just put some nail polish on your sponge and dap it on each nail.
Step 4: Apply a glitter nail polish at the top of each nail.
Step 5: Apply a top coat to create a lovely smooth finish. And voila, you've created some gold strike nails  ^___^!
What did I use? 
- Base & Top coat from a dutch store, HEMA
- Black nail polish from Dr. 'Lee
- Golden nail polish from Catrice - sand franciso #450 (swatch)
- Glittery nail polish from an unknown brand
- The ring is from Bornprettystore.com

  1. I loooove it! You're amazing at nail tutorials, Elisa!
    Anyway I wonder how are liquers with golden flakies (I mean, for example, if the gold can bother when you drink...) , I've seen at a stand a sake with gold floating in it but after I've choosen normal sake....
    mmmhhh I love sake (out of topic ehehe) :-P

  5. I love how this turned out, it looks great! Kinda high-fashion like! :D I'm not so surae about the alcohol though, I imagine alcohol together with golden flakes kinda.. unhealthy? Like... metallic? I guess I wouldn't really wanna drink that I rather stay with good Caribbean rum! :< :D
