A couple of weeks ago I told you about my accidental encounter with a new display for Essie's Mirror Metallics during my search for Stroke of Brilliance. This week I want to show you two that purchased from the collection - Blue Rhapsody and Good As Gold.
Blue Rhapsody
Polish notes:
Color description: "a jazzy blue metallic"Base coat: Zoya Get Even
Coats of polish used: 2
Comments about application: Metallics are kind of funny to work with. They can easily become streaky, and I don't think these play well with Zoya's Get Even. I experienced some "pull" on the polish after allowing a sufficient amount of time for the first coat to dry, and had to re-do the nails to avoid unwanted clumping in my finish.
Top coat: CND Shiney
I really liked Blue Rhapsody. It kind of made me feel like my nails were wrapped in foil, only without the skin crawling effect.
This will make a great color for pedicures!
Good As Gold
Color description: "a guaranteed gold metallic"
Base coat: Zoya Get EvenCoats of polish used: 2
Comments about application: same as the notes for Blue Rhapsody
Top coat: CND Shiney
If Essie had named this "Oscar," I wouldn't have thought twice. Wearing Good As Gold was like wearing a lacquer version of the coveted statue. Pretty.
I love that good as gold.
