2 coats Sally Hansen (Complete Salon Manicure) Gilty Pleasure
1 coat Poshe
This is a VERY nice shade of gold. It's very "real" looking. Instead of being an "artificial" yellow gold, it's more of a brassy gold. Like an old brass, not with a ton of luster or shininess, but an aged, antiqued brass while still holding true to it being gold. It's metallic as opposed to a shimmery or glitter gold. I don't know how it'd be on different skin tones, but I imagine it won't clash too badly with anyone.
The formula was lovely. It does show some brush strokes, but only when you look closely and concentrate. This was a very forgiving polish. It stayed where I put it despite my numerous brush strokes I used on each nail. No streaking, was opaque in 2 coats. Very nice to work with.
Yes, the name is weird. I can only hope they meant Gild-y Pleasure or something weird like that as gild means to cover with a thin layer of gold. They mucked it all up! I've got this polish, too, but I can't say I've used it much.
ReplyDeleteI looked up gilt, and one of the definitions is golden. So maybe that's what they were thinking. :)
ReplyDeleteWhen you put a thin layer of gold leaf on something, like wood or metal, it is called gilt.
ReplyDeleteNice polish.
