Birthday Penguins with Zoya Audrina and OPI 18K Gold Top Coats

My mom's birthday was a week ago and it was a milestone! So to celebrate, I decided I needed some gold on my nails. I saw a Christmas ornament at Pier One with a penguin in a gift, so I took inspiration from that and painted on some birthday penguins!

I started with Zoya Audrina which Zoya describes as a "very bright funky mix of medium pink and purple with a milky creme finish." I used two easy coats. It was bright but dark enough to allow the gold to pop. Then I did one coat of SOPI 18K top coat. Because I wanted more gold with larger flakes, I then used OPI The Man with the Golden Gun, which is especially amazing because a dear friend RAOK'ed (Random Act of Kindness) it to me when I couldn't find it! Thank you, polish fairy!

We threw my mom a surprise party and I insisted doing her nails that day. She chose Essie Wild Thing which was also topped with gold flakes. Again, you'll want to enlarge these to see the details.
