I spotted a lone bottle of this beautiful rose gold glitter at my local Meijer while casually passing by the beauty aisle, and I just couldn’t resist buying it, because I have never seen a glitter quite like this one, and because I feel like my collection is seriously lacking glitters.
Gilded Rose [which also goes by Knitted Gold in the UK] came out as part of Gilded in Gold Brocades Limited Edition Collection, and can best be described as a duochrome glitter topper, featuring smalled gold particles that create a base for mugger hexagonal rose gold pieces.
Thick formula is jam-packed with glitter of various sizes, and the opacity is achieved after just two coats. In these swatches I will be wearing three, just because my nails are normally thin, so I always try to add an extra layer of polish to help with my bending problem.
After I took the initial batch of pictures, I thought I’d play around with my freshly painted nails a bit longer and see what I can do to spice up this already fantastic shade. I don’t know if this can be called Nail Art per se, just because all I did was put some more glitter on top of that glitter [glitterception!!], but I believe the final result came out pretty festive 🙂
It was very easy to do, too: I basically added a few strokes of Zoya Chyna on my middle and ring fingers, then topped them with random SOPI gold glitter, and swiped another coat of Seche Vite to seal it all. Simple, isn’t it?
Now, if you’re wondering if this glitter is one of those that would be a pain to remove – no worries, because it pretty much removes itself 🙂 Unfortunately, this gorgeous color has its drawbacks – crazy chipping – because the rose gold pieces catch on everything, like clothes, sheets, and towels.
