I applied two coats of Essie's "Boom Boom Room" and let that dry completely. (Had to re-do a few nails since I didn't let the pink shade dry totally so do take my advice and let it dry - patience is key haha...)

I then stuck a piece of scotch tape onto each nail, positioning it where I wanted the gold part to start. Press the pieces of scotch tape onto your skin a few times to make them less sticky, so that they don't ruin your base color.

I then applied a good coat of OPI's "Up Front and Personal" to the lower half of each nail, overlapping the tape. Then I peeled off the pieces of tape, right away. It's important that the nail polish doesn't dry with the tape still on, otherwise the tape will pull the polish.

To top it off, I added one coat of the Seche Vite top coat for a fast dry finish.

Have a great day/evening!
