If you’re anything like us, you love a monochromatic nail moment. All that really means is the nails are in the same color palette. The different textures (matte and glitter) is what spices up the manicure.

There’s just something about gold touches on nails that never gets old. Gold flakes, like this picture shows, gives a slightly ‘undone’ or effortless look using gold touches. If you want something that has a bit more texture, this is a great addition.
