Welcome to Manicure Monday, which is actually on time for once! It usually gets published early Tuesday because Mondays are dumb and I never have time for everything, but today I do! This week’s was done with MAC’s Neptune and GOSH’s Greed.
It’s gold and it’s shiny, and both of these polishes are souvenirs from my trip to New York a couple of years ago. I miss New York. Neptune came from the Macy’s flagship store, and Greed came from a Duane Reade in Penn Station. I’m a little ashamed that I can still tell you where I bought everything; I can remember this, but I can’t ever remember to put olive oil on the shopping list.
The red is a reflection from my red sweater.
So the polishes are really similar, and that’s why I paired them together. They both have this burnished gold look to them; Greed is a little lighter, and Neptune has a green shift when the light hits it just right, so even though they blend into each other some, there’s enough there to set them apart from each other. At the very least, it’s cohesive and easy.
In the sunlight, these glitters really sparkle. It’s easy to forget those silver holo ones are in there because the big gold ones steal the show. These photos were taken in direct sunlight.
Neptune was a MAC limited edition and has since sold out; other MAC polishes are available at MAC and in some department stores. I’m not sure where to tell you to get GOSH polishes in the US, other than Penn Station Duane Reade.
This is a fun polish! Perfect for the holidays with all it’s glittery gold!
I’ve gone to the grocery store three times the past 2 weeks with 3 items on my list, each time needing to buy sour cream. I STILL had to go a 4th time to make that happen….but I can tell you about my polish buys 99% of the time. I totally get it! Hahaha!
This happens to me all the time!
Pretty combo! Very festive.
This is such a gorgeous combo. So perfect and festive!
I love anything gold. This is gorgeous!
Perfect pairing! I do love mixed metallics.
Much sparkle, so gold!
I love almost-ugly shades like this. It’s pretty on you!
Perfect holiday mani!
Such a great Holiday gold!
the glitters make me think of a moonscape, but in gold. I am digging that.
I remember when NYC got the GOSH polishes and I went and bought a ton!
I only got this one and another one, a frosty textured purple. I did end up buying like thirty bottles of polish in total on the trip though!
Loving the detail and the color, so rich!
I love this, so sparkly and fun! x
This is such a gorgeous color!
It’s so glittery!
I really like the mix of gold and silver together. Perfect for when I mix my jewelry metals too!
I do love a good mixed metals look!
I had never seen this Gosh before! And wow, it rocks!
Oh wow, that is so pretty!
