. . . despite recently picking up summery shades of crisp white & palest sunset pink, and exclusively wearing gold on fingers & toes for the past few weeks, have been falling for the CND ruffian matte moon manicure for its decidedly nautical pairing of gold & navy, created by painting pre-made gold tips with a coat of navy polish and a mattifier, perfect for summer afternoons and oceanside dreams . . .
......................................................................................................
{p.s.} a similar look can also be achieved without chrome tips, using a gold base {try gold chrome #548}, then coats of navy {try inkwell #539}, finished with super matte top coat

Very alluring, R. But, must say that I am still loving the pearly toe pedicure peeking out of your strappy sandals! So glamorous - so French Riviera chic! ;) Happy Weekend. M
Wonderful, I'm going to give this a try...thanks for sharing..
I never paint my nails but that's so exquisitely Deco in style.
Ohhhhhh, I like this. I love the idea with a soft pink or neutral shade and the gold. Very pretty. =)
Great idea.. I will definately try this with various colours. I always like when one takes a classic and put a spin to it.
this is stunning!
