Hello lovelies,

 

Today I want to share with you a gold leaf manicure which I've created over the new Barry M Midnight Gelly Black Pistachio (reviewed here). I didn't have high hopes in the beginning but I ended up loving the result!

I think that the gold beautifully contrasts with the dark green and the whole look just screams autumn to me. I have started with two coats of Barry M Black Pistachio and then I've stuck gold leaf pieces on the nails with topcoat. The ring and little fingers are stamped with Pueen 108 stamping plate from the 24M - Make Your Day set and Hit The Bottle To have and to Gold stamping polish (also available at Nail Artisan Shop).

Living In Luxury - Cool-toned bronze shade with foil finish. Living In Luxury is elegant pale bronze that I found really flattering. It looks quite understated and will be office friendly yet interesting. I've applied two coats for perfect coverage. The polish is we'll pigmented and it applied easily leaving no brush strokes.

Fit For Royals - pale gold with light coppery flakes and foil finish. This is undisputedly the most festive shade of all four for me and it fits perfectly with any Christmas or New Year's manicure. I'm wearing two coats which were fully opaque. The polish dried fast and with no brush strokes.

Adorned In Rubies - raspberry red foil with burnt orange flakes. This is a beautiful and rich colour which I can closest describe as raspberry shade. The fact that is has burnt orange flakes in it makes it a bit more interesting and it adds more depth. The formula was just perfect. Opaque in two coats, flawless application and no brush strokes. Adorned In Rubies is identical match to Gelish A Sunrise In The City.

Opportunity Knocks - mermaid blue foil with green flakes. This will be a perfect colour for summer and it reminds me of mermaids of course and of tropical seas. The colour is very vivid and sparkly and looks gorgeous. Two coats were fully opaque and again I had no problem with brush strokes. It applied well and dried fast but it can stain nails a bit so double up on base coat. Opportunity Knocks is identical match to Gelish Oocha Coocha.

All four shades had the same formula which was opaque in two coats and applied easily. They also dried fast without leaving visible brush strokes. I love each and every shade for different reasons so I really have no favourite in this case. I think this collection came out beautifully and if you love shiny foil finish polishes then you shouldn't skip on these.

 

All That Jazz Indulge Me Collection is available at All That Jazz UK website and at Nail Harmony UK website. I have previously swatched Spotlight Affair collection full of sultry creme shades, you can see it HERE.

 

Have a lovely day! Lucie x
