I was wandering through Sephora the other day and came across their Ciaté mini paint pots selections. I had been looking for some gold stud embellishments for a while now and there they were right in front of me, and for only $8. Of course I couldn't pass it up, so I got the studs and used them as inspiration for this design. 

Per usual, I started with one coat of butter LONDON's Nail Foundation Flawless Basecoat. Next I painted two coats of the neutral, Cuppa, on the pointer and pinky fingers, union jack black on the thumb and ring finger, and the gorgeous golden glitter The 444 on the middle finger. 

Next, I painted some small crosses in pattern on the pointer finger using union jack black. After painting a coat of SV Topcoat on each nail, I laid the studs on the thumb, accent and pinky finger in the desired patterns. I loved the overall look and the black and gold combination. What do you think?
