Good afternoon, everyone. I was snooping around on Pinterest and found a cute idea, using green and gold polish to create a gold leaf top coat effect. They used a base coat of green and then applied the gold with a ball of tape to have it go on randomly. I however searched for tape and came up empty. I used plastic wrap. 

So for my mani today I started with Orly Bonder base coat, then applied two coats of China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint, which I adore. Then I applied Sally Hansen Golden-I with the ball of plastic wrap. Then I wanted to add some glitter so I repeated the 'sponging' process with Sally Hansen Strobe Light. Then topped it off with Orly Won't Chip topcoat.

I like the mint and gold together, and I should have left well enough alone. In the end it looks like I got sand on my wet polish. Oh well live and learn.

Sorry for the terrible clean up job. My brain clearly thought the hands did a better job.
Not sure what colors to use next. This weekend will hopefully bring a polish shopping haul. Till then,
