Golden Moss





Brown and gold are today’s colors.




I started with Contrary Polish Creeping Moss, a gorgeous, muted and slightly grey-ish chocolate brown with a strong pink shimmer. The shimmer was very camera-shy, I had to flash it out in order to make it really visible. It’s pretty obvious IRL, though. As beautiful as this polish is, I wasn’t too happy with it. Application was easy, the formula is a little on the thick side, but easily managable, after the second coat it was completely opaque. But after less than a day I had some minor chipping. My nails are pretty hard, so my polishes hardly ever chip (at least not after one or two days), but this one did.




With Flash

On my ring finger I dabbed one thick coat of ILoveNailpolish All Gold Everything, a clear base filled with yellow toned gold glitters in various shapes and sizes, shards, hexes, circles, and some holographic gold hexes, too. I added one coat of Nail Pattern Boldness Glitter Food on my ring finger and topped the mani with one coat of Cult Nails Wicked Fast.

    1. Toll aussehen tun sie wirklich. Leider war ich zumindest bei diesem mit der Haltbarkeit nicht zufrieden. Da dies bisher der einzige ist, den ich getragen habe (ich habe noch zwei in meiner Untried-Abteilung), kann ich aber nicht sagen, ob das durchgehend so ist, oder nur bei dem.

  3. I am a big Contrary Polish fan and love their shimmery and just slightly off the edge color combinations. I think your combination adds just the right amount of sparkle to the muted color of Creeping Moss. Hmmm bummer regard to the chipping, have yet to experience this with CP but then I don't own Creeping Moss...

    1. I'm glad you like it. Maybe I just had a "bad polish day" (like bad hair day) and the next time I wear it it won't chip as fast (hey, never lose hope, right?) :-)
