GOSH Galaxy - Imagination In Colour

GOSH Galaxy

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:

The photos do not do this polish justice. It is one of those colours with an ever changing face – in some lights it appears a dark charcoal colour with a silvery watery covering, like a deep murky lake, and in others you will see pink, green, gold or even purple reflects. It’s something else, and I absolutely love it.
Application:
Galaxy (how apt the name seems) was opaque at 2 coats, although there were some of those invisible bald patches that seem inevitable with this type of foily finish. All evened out by 3 coats though. The polish dried quickly, and you won’t need a topcoat. The silvery shimmer takes care of the shininess element. As ever, GOSH have created the perfect formula for the finish.
Definitely unique and definitely incredible. GOSH has hit gold with Galaxy.    I really love this and it’s perfect for A/W 2012, but looks amazing in the sun too. So classy and it will look perfect as a pedicure for summer toes. What do you think? For me, Galaxy is definitely worth it’s £4.99 price tag. I get the feeling this one will fly off the shelves so look out for it next time you’re in Superdrug!
