OPI The Man with the Golden Gun - swatches and review

I got this amazing 18 K gold flake polish as a birthday gift from my dear friend Goldie! :D I feel so lucky to own it!! :D The bottle is so beautiful that I can't bear to put it in a drawer... So I have it on a shelf were I can admire it every day! :)
In these pics I wear it over H&M's Spending Cash with Carl which I wore the other day. I think the effect is stunning! To me it looks like a clear sky at night when you can see all the stars! :D
All pics but one have one coat of The Man with the Golden Gun.
Ok, time for picture spam!! :D

GOOD TO KNOW:

Type of polish: Flakes.

Colour: A clear base filled with real 18 K gold  flakes! :D

Collection: OPI Skyfall Holiday 2012.

Opacity: Not really applicable. This is a top coat. Could possible get opaque with many coats, but what a waste!

Drying time: Normal.

Formula: Good! Maybe a bit thick, but still easy to work with. If you are a perfectionist, like me ;) you have to help the flakes a bit to distribute them evenly on the nails ;) But they don't come out in a big lump either!

Brush: Excellent! Very thick and very easy to apply with. :D

Shine: Very shiny on its own! This is a top coat so you don't need another top coat on top of this! ;) Leaves your nails smooth too. You don't feel the flakes at all, i.e no rough sufaces on the nails.

Accurate colour, photo vs IRL: Accurate. What you see is what you get! It's really sparkly and shiny  IRL! ;)

Grade: 5/5 :D

You just have to love this effect polish! Real 18 K gold! I feel like a million dollars wearing it! ;)

What do you think of this polish?
Is one coat enough or should you wear two coats?
Have you tried any of the other gold flake polishes?

  2. Wow, so pretty! Wearing gold on the nails must be one of the most exclusive manicure one can wear!

    1. Yes, almost! ;)
      There is a polish with real diamonds in it actually! It looks like a black holo but the holo is real diamonds!!! It costs like 160 000 dollars or something :/ I'll probably not get a copy of that ;)
