How to create a Shellac gold like Ice Vapor?

[ClaireP]

That's ok Hun I must admit I actually prefer tinsel toast to ruby ritz 😁. But I love golds. I've always hated red as a colour must be cos I'm a closet ginger loooool x

He he that made me chuckle. Fingers crossed my client will like one of the variations I've made lol xxx

I know it's not Shellac, but I use OPI Goldeneye gel polish from the skyfall range...maybe a little more yellow gold than TT but any post in a storm lol... I found this pic to show you

Ah thanks. I'm not sure if I could cure this correctly in my CND lamp, do OPI have a lamp specific to their system? Plus I don't have their base/top coat so I'm sure I would need that too? Xx

I use my CND lamp and I had sandwiched it between my shellac top and base on myself before I bought the opi ones but yes they have their own and everyone will always recommend to use the one for the range being used... Though I bought the gel in Sally I don't think they do the lamps...I've never noticed anyway.

Thanks for that, how did you find the longevity of the OPI? Xx

have you got Brisa Lite Smoothing Gel ? you could mix a tiny bit of gold glitter into smoothing gel and paint it on, so there is a tiny bit of glitter and it looks a bit suspended in the gel so its not too over the top like a rockstar

Ooh I have, that's a good idea. Thanks. I take it I just add up to 30% glitter mix and apply? Xxx

yup thats right and you could add pigment with glitter too like one of the gold ones

something else to play around with I'm having so much fun doing this lately
