NOTD GOSH Purple Heart

Today's NOTD is Gosh Purple heart. It's a purple polish with a green duochrome.  The colour of this changes from purple to a kind of brownish colour when the duochrome flashes. I loved this,  but the duochrome was quite subtle and really hard to photograph. 


First up, a bottle picture,

You can see a bit of the green flash on the left of the bottle, I've included a zoomed up portion of the bottle to try and make the duo-chromeness easier to see.

From this picture you can also see the shimmer in the polish. 

I tried really, really to get a picture which showed both colours on the nails, I took over 100 pictures in various lighting but couldn't get one. So, I have two pictures, the first shows the purple.

and the second shows the browner colour it changes to, (apologies for the state of my cuticles in these pictures!)

On the nail the duochrome was much more subtle than in the bottle, I still like the polish but definitely not my favourite. The application was fine, the pictures show two coats. I've worn this for 3 days now and I'm starting to see a little tipwear. 


Gosh polishes retail at €8.50 in Ireland.


Have you tried this? What do you think? 

NOTD Gosh Holographic

Oh, how I love thee Gosh Holographic. Today is my current favourite polish. I easily get distracted by shiny pretty things and while I was wearing this I was distracted by my nails alot! Gosh Holographic is one of the Gosh polishes, I picked up recently. First up a close up of the bottle.

So far nothing too special, right? Maybe there's a hint of rainbow-ness in it, but it looks like silvery glitter.


 When I got it home, I noticed this

Of course, I hadn't picked up the base coat. After a bit of a mosey around, I started reading about it's bad application. So the general consensus was no base coat.  So, I went ahead with no base coat. Look at it's bootyfulness! 

A lot of the time, it just looks like the picture above just a hint of rainbow-ness, and somethings it looks more rainbow-y like below. 

and a blurry picture, to show a bit more of the rainbow-y goodness! 

After the searching about the base coat, I had read a lot of people complain about the application of this, but this was two lovely coats, I had no issues. Not only did I use no base coat, I also used no topcoat in case it dulled the holo. I actually put Seche on two fingers and I could only notice a really slight dulling (I forgot to take a photo, sorry!).  I can tell you nothing about the wear time of this because I literally wore it for a day, I had meetings and teaching the next day and decided it wasn't a good idea to wear it to work.  I'll definitely wear this soon and report back on the wear, I believe the wear on this isn't great but it's still bootyful! 

My first Gosh polishes.

I was wandering round the shops during the week, when I spied a lonely fully stocked Gosh stand (except for Rainbow) with the polishes on offer 2 for €12, they normally retail at €8.50 each. So it would have been rude not to pick up two!


I got Purple Heart and Holographic,

Swatches coming up!
