Grammy Girls Get 24 K Gold Nails

Red Carpet Manicures were on-site during the Grammy’s back in February at the Grammy Gift Lounge. The at-home gel manicure company will be providing manicures to celebrities and other women attending the event with a manicure of gorgeous 24 carat gold nail polish. The idea behind Red Carpet Manicure is for your nails to be as flawless as your diamond & gold jewelry—strong and unchipped, of course.

For those of us who were not at the Grammys, Red Carpet Manicure will be available for consumers to purchase and use at home, giving everyone a chance to have unchipped gel manicures at home that are long lasting and affordable.

Gold Cartage

The cartage of gold can be considered its most important and best selling aspect. Carats, sometimes spelled Karats, measure the purity of gold. Gold is one of the world’s most beautiful precious metals, and powerfully resistant to corrosion, but on its own pure gold is very soft and vulnerable. To make jewelry and other commonly consumed gold products, gold is combined with other materials to overcome its soft nature and make it durable enough for everyday use. This is when carats come in, the higher a carat rating on a piece of gold, the higher “percentage” of that piece is pure gold. Here’s a chart published by the World Gold Council detailing the percentages of gold carats:



24 carat gold is understood to be the most pure of all gold, consisting in 99% gold and only 1% other material. This is the minimum carat allowed for jewelry labeled as “pure gold”.

22 carats is considered to be 91.6% gold, and is quite popular in India where a large majority of the world’s gold is consumed.

14 carat can be seen in the US as a common selling gold carat, however anything lower than 10 carats is not allowed to be sold as gold.

New Gold Coin - Sold for Limited Time - Gold Worth Cash

The New York Times ran an article this week entitled “Century Later, Gold Coin Reflects Sculptor’s Vision.

On Monday, the U.S. Mint released a new edition of the Double Eagle gold coins.

The $20 gold coins have been produced for over a century, with the first coin being converted in 1907. The new coin is based on the first 1907 coin that was designed by an American sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Saint-Gaudens was a friend of Teddy Roosevelt and was commissioned to design the coin.

The original Double Eagle coin design has a picture representing Liberty on the obverse with her torch raised and flowing hair with the Capitol dome behind her. The reverse of the coin shows an eagle flying into the sun. In 1908, Congress mandated that “In God We Trust” be added to the coins.

The coins are formed from 60 tons of pressure converting blank gold discs into “ultra-high-relief” coins at the U.S. Mint. The 1907 coins are highly rare and valuable. The Double Eagle is considered the most beautiful of the American coinage.

The new coins contain one ounce of 24-karat gold. They will be sold for only one year.
