The DIY Rococo Dupe

I made a dupe of this pricey polish a few years back when I decided I was too poor for the real thing. That and I felt like it was WAAAAY over priced. Basically you just add gold leafing found at any craft store to a clear base. I chose to add it to everyone's favorite fast drying topcoat, Seche Vite (Available at Sally's). By doing so I skipped an entire layering step. :c)

Here's my dupe.

The first three at the left are what I used for my base color and at the far right is my franken. 

Sorry for the crappy pic and unlabled bottles. I took this pic years ago with no intention on sharing it with the world.

    Love it! What a great idea! How did you rip the foil so that the sizes became this random?

    It actually tears by itself when you push the sheet of gold leaf through the neck of the bottle. I'm thinking of posting a small video because I've had a few people ask me this question.

    Thank you for your answer :-). A video would be great, but I think I understand. Will just have to try, I guess...
