Ribbons and Lace

My last nail art design was pretty bland, so I tried to do one that was a little more complex this time around.

The darker pink layer is Milani's Cappuccino.  It's hard to see in the photos, but it has a subtle gold shimmer, which was what made me want to buy it in the first place.

What looks like lighter a lighter pink is actually a thin coating of Jade's Elegant Mode silvery color.

For black, I used China Glaze's Liquid Leather.

Gold is Jade's Gold Flakes.
White is Sally Hansen's White On.

I don't always use top coat, but I wanted this design to stay on for a while, so I enlisted the help of Rimmel's Faster 60 seconds top coat.  The very first time I used this, it smeared a pretty difficult design that had been dried on my nails for an entire day, but since then, it's behaved.
