GOSH Galaxy

August 4, 2012 17 Comments

After seeing the GOSH press release posted on Liloo’s lovely blog, I dashed out to my Superdrug on the off chance they were already stocking the beautiful looking new polishes. I was in luck – they already had four of the six new polishes – Galaxy, Spot On! Pink, Lazy Green and With A Twist. I picked up the first two – khaki greens and taupes don’t often grab me.

Liloo speculated that maybe Galaxy could be another holographic polish, since GOSH are re-releasing the fabled GOSH Holographic (now billed as a one-night-wear polish). The press release photo did promise a rainbow effect, but sadly it is not a holo. But, it is GORGEOUS! Think Barry M Copper but much darker, charcoal in undertone. Behold:

GOSH Limited Edition Spring 2011 – 001 Lavender Love + Spring Nail Art

April 14, 2011 3 Comments

Just a quick forewarning this post is a tad pic-heavy as I just couldn’t capture the colour right.
This is pretty much the colour of the polish, or as close as my camera could get.
Against a bright blue to show you how much more purpley it is.
And some nail art just for kicks 🙂
First of all, this polish and 3 other colours (purple, pink and greige) along with the GOSH Matte Top Coat are all Limited Edition so if you like them, get them asap! The other ones you will find swatches of on google.
I want to say that my first experience with this polish was a bad one, it dragged and took forever to dry and was just generally a nightmare. The second time, it applied like an absolute dream, dried in a reasonable amount of time and didn’t dent at all. It was opaque in ONE COAT! I don’t know what caused my previous bad experience, I suspect I may not have let my base coat dry fully and probably applied too thickly too, so just a word to the wise if you are in the habit of this 😀
The polish is close to Essie’s Lapis of Luxury but has a more purple undertone, making it a true cornflower blue. (I will be doing a swatch comparison which should appear in the next post).
The polish itself, as I mentioned, is not only a one-coat-wonder, but also dried with a beautiful glossy finish, eliminating the need for top coat. I’ve worn it for two days now and I have barely any tip-wear and no chips whatsoever. I am very happy with this polish now, can’t say I was the first time round! I think the key is in the application.
The polish retails at £4.99 in Superdrug so I’d grab them while you can 😉 I’m sorely tempted by the neon pink but I felt that Lavender Love was the most unique highstreet polish of the lot so went for that one.
The nail art (which I cocked up on the ring finger, oops) is just dotting with my white Rio Nail Art pen (and letting the dots merge to make the ‘petals’ connect)
Hope you are all doing okay, drop me a line guys 😀 I have some lovely Lemon Earle Grey tea to hand, which I have to say is my lifeline at the mo following my second traumatic blood test experience this month, I’ve come home with 8 holes in my arms and hands, bruised to high heaven and generally feeling a bit shakey. They tried several times in each hole as well! Argh. Anyways enough of my moaning, I was lucky enough to win the Models Own Twitter competition and have the black and the silver Smash Up crackle polishes somewhere in the post! Thank you Models Own!
Let me know your thoughts on this polish.
