Maybelline Limited Edition: Boho Gold

I received this amazing multi-chrome polish from the amazing Liz (Beauty Reductionista) a few months ago and it certainly is a treasure.

Boho Gold is a limited edition polish from Maybelline's US Fall 2012 collection so I don't imagine there's an Australian release on the way which is really a shame - fingers crossed I'm wrong!  The beautiful metallic Boho Gold has a distinct warmth to it and it is predominantly warm vintage gold which flashes bronze and green as the light hits at different angles.  It reminds me a little of Chanel's iconic Peridot but Boho Gold seems warmer to me.  Peridot is one of the few Chanel polishes I own so I'll dig it out for a definitive comparison sometime soon!

What do you think of Peridot's warmer cousin?
 
 That's all for now!

  2. This does remind me a lot of Peridot! Why does the Northern Hemisphere get all the good Maybelline LE releases? :)

    1. My thoughts exactly :(

      When I googled the 2012 fall collection I sighed in disappointment because it was a good one - up there with OPI and China Glaze releases. Oh well, at least we got the recent glitters :p

    1. Absolutely Kaki. See my comment above.

      Sometimes we miss out down here unfortunately so I'm grateful to receive this shade from the collection - I think it was the standout too!

  6. It clearly was meant to be because it looks fabulous on you! It's more gold and less green than Chanel Peridot but close enough. :) Yay!
