"Gold Shimmer" is a pale gold color with slightly dull metallic finish. I was really disappointed by the shade as soon as I opened my package. It was looking beautiful gold color online but when it arrived it was a dull shade. Dull and light shades make my hands look dull and dark!

Though “one stroke” was written on the bottle but it takes at least 2-3 coats to get true color. There are fine golden shimmers that glisten when the light falls! The nail polish stays put on my nails for a good 3-4 days with a top coat. Make sure you remove it with a good nail polish remover else it will leave a lot of shimmers behind! I did a nail art using this nail polish HERE.

PROS:

• Good consistency.

• Applies easily without streaking. The bristles are soft and very easy to use!

• Metallic finish.

• Dries up quickly.

• Good staying power.

• Reasonably priced.

• Looks great on very fair skin tone.

• Elegant packaging.

• Wide range of shades available.

CONS:

• The shade is dull (though it is personal choice!).

• Needs at least 2-3 coats to get the actual color.

Overall Thoughts:

There are rare chances that I dislike my purchases but this is one purchase that disappointed me. I must have checked the swatches online before ordering it. If you love dull and light shades or have fair hands then I would definitely recommend it to you.

Rating: 3.5/5

My Tips:

• Apply a top coat to make the nail polish last long.

• Store in a cool, dry place.

• DO NOT apply nail polish under a fan!

Stay pretty!
