LA Girl Metal: Antique Gold

Today's mani is the one I've been sporting this week.

Antique Gold is one of a few LA Girl Metal polishes I bought some time ago - I think it was last year? - from Groove store in Melbourne Central which sadly is no more.  Antique Gold is THE perfect name for this polish.  When I picked it up to wear it was unlabelled and I decided it looked just like antique gold to me.  One Google search later and I find out it's called just that, LOL!  So, to describe this polish in a little more detail, it's a mix of antique gold flecks in a dark, almost black base.  It applied beautifully in two coats and also removed rather more easily than I'd expected.  I thought I was going to be in for a scrubbing session and this just wiped cleanly off.  Gotta love that!

So what do you think about this "ugly but interesting" polish?

Have a happy Friday!

    1. I love these colours too! They're interesting without being too attention grabbing and yep, seasonally appropriate, although I'm hankering for spring to come knocking now...

  2. I like colors like this on other people - I think on me it tends to bring out my yellow undertones a little too much.

  3. Love this shade! I wore something similar this week: Sally Hansen Insta-Dry in Bronze Ablaze. I don't like pale gold very much but the darker olive/brown leaning golds are just amazing.

    1. Thanks Liz :) I picked up a bottle of L'Oreal Owls Night which also looks similar. I must do a swatch comparison when I've got some spare time.

    2. It also looks a little bit like Butter London Wallis which I adore. Night Owl was great but I didn't pick it up.

    3. I never did get Wallis despite lusting after it. Nice to know I have something in the ballpark!

  4. I'm actually IN LOVE with this color! I don't find it ugly at all. :) It seems very army-esque to me, and I'm totally into army inspired fashion, and army greens. Really, really pretty on you Vita!

    1. Wow thanks Vintage! I wore it to work and loved how it didn't compete or clash with my clothes :)

  5. I like this one! And any glittery polish that is easy to remove gets a BIG tick in my books! :P
