Hey there!
A good friend of mine told me
that she wanted to try a gold nail polish on her nails for her summer trip. She
likes to go to the beach and I guess the sand inspired her. She asked if I had
a gold nail polish.
Do I have a gold nail polish?
At last count, I had just over 200 nail polish colors. I know, I know -- that
seems extreme. But, it's not. I've probably worn about half of them at least once
and I've worn a quarter of them more than that (my toes get a lot of polish
action).
Anywho, I rambled through my
collection and oddly enough, I only came up with 4 gold nail polishes. With my
complexion, I don't normally gravitate toward gold polish so I was kind surprised
I had any. To be fair, one of them isn't a true gold and another one is an
overlay color, so technically, I only have 2 gold nail polishes. That's not
bad, right?
The first color is one of my
favorite colors for my toes. It's Sally Hansen Xtreme Nail in Golden-I. No, I
don't have that bottle of polish because that's the one my friend decided to
use and I didn't take a picture of it first. I didn't tell you I was the
smartest cookie in the jar. It's my favorite of the four because Sally Hansen
Xtreme Nail Polish is an awesome formula. It's my go to polish each and every
time. This color is perfect for my toesies.
The next color is a
Maybelline Color Show polish in Gilded Rose. It's actually an overlay color.
I've used it on my party nail several times. You can use it over any color and
it looks beautiful. 1 coat is pretty for a small hint of gold and 2 coats makes
you go ka-bam! I've never used 3 coats.
The third polish is one I've
never used. No real reason. I just haven't. It's A Star Is Born by Color
Secrets. I think I may have found this at a beauty supply store. It was
probably a BOGO or buy-three-for-a-price or something. I don't know the brand
and I've never used anything by them so I don't know how well it works. It
looks pretty though.
And finally I have 1000 Volts
by Revlon. It's a green based gold and looks really pretty as a party nail.
It's also nice on the toes. I tried using it on all the nails once and
immediately took it off. I wasn't impressed. Revlon polishes also wear well so
I like to reach for them as well. This color probably doesn't get as much love
as it should.
And so there you have it. If
you decide that you need to match your toes with the sand, here are 4 really
good choices. I never thought of matching my toes to the sand but I would jump
at the chance to match them to cotton candy or ice cream. Maybe though, just
maybe I'll follow in my friends footsteps and wear gold next week.
What do you think?
