This is my first tutorial so I hope you like it. It was inspired by an amazing artist from Russia. Anyhow here goes:

Here are the products I used

Use Citrine, Gold, and Candy Corn wet and place next to each other on the form. Drag the tip of your brush through the colors however you want and then press out your free edge. Don't try to make it blend perfect.

Use the light golden beige to create a reverse smile line and fade back up the nail bed.

place a bead of Cocktail Time at the cuticle and fade toward the smile line

Using gold pigment mix create diagonal lines across the free edge.

Connect the diagonal lines to create a random shape

Use a very small wet bead of Truly White and place in the upper corners of the shapes and fade down

Use a black stripe rite and accent the lower corners of the shapes

Cap in clear and finish file

Finish with 2 coats of UV 30 and viola! Enjoy
