Fingernail Sunshine!

Here is an Elle Elle nail polish, #432, that is a golden yellow shimmer. It feels metallic. It also is a frost. Hmmm. Maybe a brushstrokey shimmer? A metallic frost? BZZZzzt! You have no clue! Do you?

Nope!

Anyhoo...

I like yellows in the summer, and in particular  gold, so when this came in a nine pack from Ross, I figured it's a workable color! 

I also had the Sally Hansen "money" frosts, this one is Fil-a-Greed Frost. A sheer warm golden peachy gold. Though, so sheer, it's just not altogether much of a presence.

Here they are:

Here's a little more detail on the names.

Put them together:

Wow! Sunshine on my nails!

The glitter is the actual pay off, the rest of the Fil-a-Greed appears to be lost. I can find no irridescence (seen alone when I swatched) or anything else. But hey, what the heck else am I going to do with those pesky Sally Hansen "money" frosts? I have a carload! I should have just calmed down, bought one or two, then swatched them. No. I go NUTS. I've redeemed one as a topcoat, but really, they are my albatross! When I see them for $4.99 on eBay I want to laugh madly, because I see the sad betrayal by anyone who buys these! *muahahahaha* ...ahem!

Whatever you want to call the finish, it's a unique yellow, perfect for summer sunny days. Elle Elle dried well and wore nicely. Sally Hansen kind of took a bit longer to dry once applied. However, with patience, drying drops and some more drying drops, I like the glitter payoff that ensued. Happy ending!

Thanks for reading my pesky little nail polish journal!
