Gold flames manicure - with photo and video tutorial!

Hi everybody!

So many of you have asked me for a tutorial for this manicure and here it is!

I've used OPI Base coat, 2 coats of OPI Wooden Shoe Like To Know? from Holland collection, Best Glue Ever, regular gold mylar foil and Seche Vite top coat.

I wanted to create effect of gold flames on OPI Wooden Shoe Like To Know? Did I succeed?

I've decided to do a video tutorial as well so hope you'll like it :)

Whieee I&#39;ve put my foils in a dark corner because they didn&#39;t do what I told them to. After seeing this tutorial I think I&#39;m gonna grab them again and give it a chance :)<br />Great tutorial!

aww thank you very much hun! Love how rounded & neat the edge of your maniis, I&#39;m forever going on to the cuticles & it just didn&#39;t occur to me to use a small brush with acetone to clean up! *slaps forehead* Oooh will def be doing an Ebay haul soon then! Thanks again!<br /><br />Love Aysh xoxo

That&#39;s a great idea. I&#39;ve never used foils before, now I want to try it. I love that brown polish with the gold foil. Nice job!

Love it! I&#39;m not someone who typically likes brown polishes but I am mesmerized by how this looks both like flames and like antique furniture. It&#39;s definitely a stunner.

this is stunning! I was not very excited about wooden shoe first, but the gold gives it that extra kick it needed for me :)

This reminds me less of flames ad more of kinda like... golden leaf peeling away from very old furniture? Kinda like a very old, antique kinda look. This is very very cool 0_0
