Zoya Gilty Gradient
“Say what?” says my hubby when I tell him this is an 18K real gold gradient mani. He obviously appreciates the finer things (and the fact that this look was not easy). I knew I wanted to use my Zoya Gilty Gold Flake topcoat over a purple. And wouldn’t you know it? The Zoya Ornate Collection came on the very same day and Aurora was dazzling me. I’ll post more on the Ornate Collection later…but suffice it to say, it is my favorite Zoya collection ever. This mani is two coats of Zoya Aurora and a gradient of Gilty. How did I do it? I used a small flat nail art brush to collect the flakes off the polish brush and then placed and patted them on each nail…one by one…exactly where I wanted them. It was so worth it though!
This look was so unusual that I wanted to show you a whole bunch of pictures. Don’t forget! You can win your own Zoya Gilty (and Raven and Purity) by entering my current giveaway. Enter before 10/31!

WOW!
What are we doing up so late surfing manis? LOL
So, so GORGEOUS!!
Thanks! Can you believe that’s real gold? Crazy, huh?
Oh wow, so gorgeous!!! I would LOVE to have a bottle of that! :D
OMG! That is gorgeous! What a awesome combination. I bet putting the flakes in place has cost lots of work. That’s totally worth it :D
Wow that’s excellent
Wow… that’s all I can come up with. Wow! (a good Wow :) Verrrry nice!
This makes me so excited to get my Zoya’s! I agree, I think the holiday collection is my favorite!
I can’t believe how big those gold flakes are in this topcoat! They are huge!
Yes, your tedious work was well worth it! Fab nails!!
Gorgeous! I think it would look good over almost any color! <3 it!
this looks… AMAZING over that purple!!!!
The Ornate collection is by far my favorite, too. I think Gilty would look amazing as a gradient over Logan. Green and gold at Christmas time? What could be better? :)
SOOOOO COOOL. :)
Beautiful! What are you going to do with the gold when you take it off though…
Time intensive or not, this looks fabulous. I love the colors you picked and the end result is wonderful. Thanks for sharing!
