party nails: black and gold

hellooooo Monday! i have a nail art post for ya today, that probably should have gone up when i actually painted them (whoops!), and that was right before new years! even though the hubby and i didn't go out for New Years Eve, i still wanted to feel glamorous, and for me that happens when i paint my nails.

i decided on black as a base color because 1. i NEVER use it and 2. i wanted to feel edgy and different (oh my gosh, is this how i "live on the edge" nowadays?! haha). i chose to add some gold flecks because i think gold looks good with black, and it gave it some "bling". they looked so sleek after i was done(thank you Orly polish) that i dubbed them my "party nails".

the colors:
• wet n wild: Fergie
• orly:  Goth (#40637 - LOVE this black, and LOVE orly polish!)
• new york color: long wearing nail enamel, Extra Shiny Top Coat (#271)


*what polish is on your nails right now?
