OK, so hands up if you don’t like this. Nope, no hands? Thought not. GOSH is a Danish brand and I don’t know where they are available I’m afraid, as they are in every Superdrug on your average UK high street.
Golden Dragon is one hell of a beautiful polish. A green jelly, it isn’t quite duochrome but it has a great amount of gold shimmer running all the way through it, and a slight blue tinge. I can’t think of a more apt name for it as it is exactly as I would imagine dragon scales to look like.
Application was great. It was a little bit sheer so this is three coats, but you can live with that when the colour payoff is so good.
I’ve got to stop showing you pre-clean up photos. You’ll all be thinking I’ve become all slovenly and sloppy of late. I promise I haven’t, but the light has been quite bad recently, what with all the rain we’ve been having, so I’ve been snapping away when and where I can.
Drying time wasn’t the fastest and this would definitely benefit from some fast-dry topcoat. I changed this after two days but it was still looking pretty good by then.
Feast your eyes on the close-up. It sparkles, but not in a glittery way, more shimmer and shine. Glorious!
GOSH retails for about £5.00 from Superdrug and other chemists. I don’t think you can buy it from them directly online though. There is a rumour going around that GOSH is actually made by MAC. I have no idea if there is any truth in this but I know that I love their products. I have a few of their eyeshadows (see here) and they are brilliant.
So there we have it. What do you think? Nixxy – this one’s for you! Literally!
I want this one too. Love the name of it, as well as the colour.
I like their eyeliners too – the velvet touch ones are excellent.
this is a for sure “my preeeesssciousssssss” polish if I have ever seen one!!
Oooh! I don’t think I’ve a more beautiful color. Just lovely. Don’t worry about the pre clean up photos. We still love you anyway…lol! We can’t always present perfection. Last time I checked, we were all human. Lol…I sound like I’m working for the new Misa fall collection.
OMG I am sooooooooooo in love with that I will be looking for that next week. Oddly up here GOSH polishes were dead cheap when i got into them 18 months ago but now Superdrug charges £7.00 for them up here.
Ah Helen, I bought this a few weeks ago so you’ve saved me doing a blog!
Ahhhh! *hops from one foot to the other* Can’t wait! 😀
I can even see the fire from the dragon. This is a gorgeous shade. It does lok like dragon scales. I can barely see anything wrong with your application. Love this one on you.
I like this one.. im thinkig for my toes! It would look hot with flip flops
I’ll admit it, I’m a bit of a make up snob, I never use high street brands. Most of my polishes are OPI, with a few Zoya, Essie, Leighton Denny, Nails Inc, Chanel, CND etc thrown in. How do cheaper brands like this really compare with regard to application, wear, brush etc?
I love this green! It’s gorgeous! I went and looked at Gosh online, I think you can buy on line but I have to look into it further. I’ve gone on one European biz trip a year and that’s the one thing I love – hitting up the local drug store and buying makeup that I can’t in the US. I am only sad that I am not going on that trip this year 🙁 Have a great weekend!!!
It has a jelly finish and is nearly duochrome? I never would have thought that possible! It’s such a stunning green. I adore the name! I hope GOSH comes out with an entire collection of mythic beasts.
Andrea I am wearing GOSH Ocean It has now been on my nails 6 days and all I have is tiny bit of tip wear no chips. This bottle is a bit gloopy now (had it 9 months and used it a lot) and i usually apply 3 thin coats of it. I have 3 other GOSH ones and get just as good wear from them although I am dissapointed that they retails around the £7.00 mark up here.
Weee your a bad influence Helen I went out and bought this and Gasoline a glittery purple
Maybe we should do a spot of shopping before the Illamasqua session on the 3rd!
Well….. good things come to those who wait for me to send out their parcels…;)
LOL I think you would be a great Misa spokesperson!
I KNEW you’d love it!! Glad I wasn’t proven wrong.
Ahhhh you’re welcome! ha! Glad you have it – it’s fab.
Yayyy. You’ll love it.
Ha, thankyou Lucy, you flatterer!
I’ve never tried green on my toes – can you believe that? I think you are absolutely right though.
Wear was fine, as was application. The only thing that was noticeably different was drying time as it did take a while. Good thing is that GOSH is formaldehyde free though.
I may do a bit more research on online availabilty next week. It’s nice just to be able to walk down the road and grab some. Once again though I wish we had some of the brands that you guys can get.
Where in Europe do you usually go?
Could you imagine? I’d love to see Minotaur Brown, or Phoenix Golden Red. Oooh.
Oooh I’m intrigued by Gasoline – may have to check it out.
The jury is out on Gasoline. It’s not what I expected not sure if I like it yet or if it is a bit cheap and tacky looking. 10 yrs ago it would have been my fave colour but now not so sure.
Nope, I’m not going to raise my hand, either. Love the color, and love the name, too 🙂
All I know about GOSH (having not tried their stuff yet because it took a while to establish the first fact) is that they don’t test on animals and their nail varnish is supposed to be hard-wearing to a point that rivals Barry M. So yeah it could be MAC since they have those traits in common! 🙂
