Cult Nails Quench with gold leaf

Here's another one I found that I had not posted yet! You can tell it's obviously old because my nails are short and square. If you follow me on instagram (prettylittlebottles) then this will probably look familiar to you since I posted it there right after I did them!
 
 
I used Cult Nails Quench and the gold flakes that Cult Nails sells for this mani. Quench was opaque in two coats.

I added top coat to each nail and then took the gold leaf and placed it on my ring finger the way I liked. After I kind of patted in the flakes to make sure they all stuck, I added another coat of top coat over the flakes.

Here is what the flakes look like. They are loose and they come in lots of different sizes, some of the flakes are large, while others are very tiny.
 

I really loved how this turned out, I need to do something like this again, but maybe with a royal blue or something!
 
 
 
The gold flakes are available on the Cult Nails website and they retail for $5 each. Quench retails for $10.
