I ran into a few problems, after placing each of the gold balls (yes, one by one!) I used top coat which made the gold bleed onto the white french tip, so I had to go back with a white nail art pen and try to cover up the yellow stains. This made for a sloppy look and it just seemed way to thick around the gold balls.
So after all that I knew I would have to spend at least a good hour to hour and half to do the rest of my nails, so I stopped at just doing the three nails I had done.
Either way, enjoy!
*the blue color I used was a franken I made, Spark in the Dark

That is SO cool!! I think it looks great. But, you placed all those little tiny gold balls by hand?! Are you crazy?! LOL I dont think it looks messy at all.
Looks amazing! Wow that is a lot of work
I agree with Megan! This is just awesome! Not messy-looking at all. But really, you are crazy to put those small beads all on there one by one! =] Then again, you do have a blog entirely dedicated to nails so...and me too so...I guess that makes us all a little tetched in the head! =]
I think it looks awesome!
they still look fantastic ! must of taken a LONG time.
Wow! Gorgeous!!!
This is a fantastic look for the fourth of July. Shame you could only do three nails. I still appreciate the effort. Have a wonderful holiday weekend.
This looks very pretty and somehow royal! Thanks for the heads up on top coat making the little gold balls bleed - makes me wonder if the top coat dissolved the balls. I just bought some at Sally Beauty, so it's good to know before I start using them.
DESERTNAILS* - Mine came from Japan off Ebay, so I'm sure that mine are made really cheaply which could be a factor in the bleeding. The ones from Sally's I would think would hold up better. I don't they the balls desolved just the gold coating. I also think it stood out so much since it was on white polish, I couldn't see it on the blue, so I'm sure they are safe for darker nail polish colors.
That blue is amazing!!!!
Pretty fancy mani ... I think it's cool.
These are sick - awesome job!

I tagged you for an award too :D http://polishondigitalpaper.blogspot.com/2010/07/award-time.html
I see where you were going with this but I think I would have given up after three nails too! That is a major design undertaking you had there! :) Those gold balls aren't as bad as I thought they would be though. I used them in my SATC2 inspired mani.
