Gold Nail Polish

OnSugar blogger Lesleykat always has the cutest nail art ideas, like this one, inspired by Indian textiles.

To achieve this fade-to-gold manicure, Lesleykat began by applying two coats of Zoya's Areej, a creamy fuchsia pink, as a base. Next, she added two sheer layers of Petites by Scherer nail polish in Universe, a sheer gold shimmer with gold flakes. To deepen the gold near the cuticle, she then applied Gosh's Gold nail polish, followed by a couple of layers of Sally Girl's Gold Glitter (which has both small and large hexagon-shaped glitters) to the entire nail. A swipe of Seche Vite topcoat provided hold and shine.

What's the most you'd pay for nail polish? Five dollars? $30? How about $132,000? That's about what this Models Own Gold Rush bottle costs. The shimmering metallic shade doesn't have actual gold in the formula, but the outside is dripping with the real thing — along with 1,118 inlaid diamonds, too. Depending on your preferences, you'll find it either gorgeous or gaudy.

But, back to the cost. The £83,000 bottle is available at British jeweler Frost of London, but a £5 "ready to wear" version of the polish launches in December. We're betting this particular bottle will go unsold, but you can't put a price on the buzz it'll generate.

Here's an excerpt of a post by OnSugar blog LesleyKat on getting a sparkly holiday manicure:

May I present to you a holiday nail suggestion: glitter-tipped gold. To create this look, I used Sephora by OPI Charge It! ($9) as my base color. Two coats give a nice opaque, metallic finish. After letting them dry for a few minutes, I then applied a dab of clear (glitter polish would work well too) and dipped the tips of the nails right into the glitter. The glitter I used was LA Splash Lady Luck ($7). This glitter is especially cool because it has small glitter pieces as well as larger ones, and it reflects golds, pinks, and greens.
