Tips for Making Nude and Gold Nails Last
Gold foil, glitter and gems sit on top of the nail, so they need a good seal — a layer of glossy top coat over embellished nails, refreshed every few days, stops foil edges from lifting. Nude polish can show staining from dark colours and tanning products, so always start with a quality base coat, and keep cuticle oil handy to keep the whole set looking polished.
From a single gold line to a full set of crystals, nude and gold nails work for the office, weddings and everything in between. Choose your favourite, book the appointment, and enjoy a manicure that never goes out of style.
