Precious Metals and Pearly Whites

I think after this little selection here I have maybe two more definitive colour groups and then the rest just go to complete randomness.

So here are the gold, silver, bronze and shimmery whites...


  • H&M - Stay Golden
  • OPI - The Man with the Golden Gun
  • Topshop - Hidden Treasures
  • OPI - Goldeneye
  • Primark
  • Ciate - Ladlike Luxe
  • M&S - Gold


  • Ciate - Twilight
  • 17 - Crackle Top Coat
  • Primark
  • OPI - The World Is Not Enough
  • OPI - Lucerne-tainly Look Marvellous
  • H&M - Come Rain
  • Ciate - Halo
  • Ciate - Angel Wings
I have been quite liking metallic colours just recently, either full on gold or to add a splash of interest to plainly painted nails.

My favourite gold above has got to be OPI Goldeneye. It looks like gold leaf and I haven't seen another polish like it. It's so easy to apply and really long wearing too.

OPI's The Man with the Golden Gun contains 18k gold flecks and creates a beautiful look over plain black nails. As this retails at a whopping £30 I would never have actually purchased this myself (honestly!) but I received this as a wonderful surprise present and I'm so impressed with it. However I have seen cheaper replicas that I am sure do the job just as well.


I'm probably over the 'crackle effect' nails but when they first came out this 17 polish was fantastic.

My other top picks are H&M Stay Golden, Ciate Ladylike Luxe and Topshop Hidden Treasure, a beautiful two tone polish.



What is your favourite metallic colour? Have you tried any of the above?
