That means these gilded nails will easily dress up a simple black outfit, but they won&#8217;t steal the show from a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lulus.com\/blog\/fashion\/sequin-clothes\/\">sequin<\/a> dress, either.

I used three coats for this look and let each coat dry for about three minutes after applying.<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;ll want to apply your gold foil on a semi-wet, sticky nail, so do not immediately apply the foil&#8211;but also do not wait more than two minutes after applying your last sheer polish shade to move onto Step 3.<\/li>\n<li>Apply small pieces of loose gold foil (found at most craft stores or online) with a wooden stick or tweezers. Sometimes getting the application tool a little bit wet will help the loose foil stick to the tool. Add as much or as little foil as you want to achieve the desired effect in the look as shown. The loose gold foil will wrinkle a bit as it settles onto the semi-wet nail&#8211; that is expected!<\/li>\n<li>For an ultra-chic effect, apply a matte top coat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div><strong>Did you try these gold nail designs?
