Nail artist Maria Mann of StyleFactory in Dresden, Germany mixed blue and gold for a mani reminiscent of shimmery island waters.
What you’ll need:
* Night blue metallic gel

1. Prep the nails as usual.
3. Carefully place the blue transfer foil over the gold nails.
4. Apply builder gel to the metallic blue nails in the areas where you will later place the gold glitter.
