Nails of the Week: Brushed Gold

I’ve been a terrible blogger this week – forgive me! I have a ton of posts lined up and photographed, but I just haven’t been able to find the time to edit the photos & write them this week. It’s been a busy one! 

Anyway, this week’s manicure featured a gorgeous gold shade by L’Oreal, called “Because You’re Worth It” (#580). It’s quite a unique color, because it’s a cooler, more muted gold (not very yellow-based) and has the slightest hint of lavender/silver reflects in it. This is more noticeable in the polish bottle than on your actual nails, though.

One coat lends a subtle pearly sheen, while a few coats gives a more obvious gold effect, like what I’ve done here.

Another perk of this color? When it chips, you can barely tell, because it’s a more subtle polish. Despite being a metallic, it almost blends into my skin tone at first glance! (Okay: from afar, with your eyes squinted.)

I love manicures that you don’t have to touch up often. Makes life so much easier, doesn’t it? xx
