Golden Rose 68 and 141

Hello lovelies! How are you today? I must say that this week is not going easy on me and it's only Wednesday. Friday couldn't come quicker! I was planning to post some pink today but my photos were not accurate at all. I need to figure out what to do with them because I'm so not good at editing pink. So instead I'm showing you 2 Golden Rose polishes I got last month. They are from the regular Paris line and so they are from the affordable category. But I do like them a lot. Let's start with the first one. 

Golden Rose Paris 141 indoors, artificial light
141 is a purple creme with very strong blue undertones. If you put it next to a blue it looks purple, but next to a true purple it looks blue. So you can call it a blurple if you prefer the term. I was looking for some purples to add to my collection lately and this one is perfect.

Formula-wise it is more of a crelly, which means that it's opaque like a creme but squishy like a jelly. It applies smoothly and was opaque in 2 coats. A thing I like about the Golden Rose polishes is the thin brush. I personally like these kind of brushes because they give precision. I barely needed any cleanup after I applied these polishes. Drying time is not too bad for these either. They dry fast and to a shiny finish. The photos are without any top coat.

I've been looking for 68 for a long time and I finally found it. I'm only sorry I haven't found it earlier so I could wear it in the fall. This polish totally cures my lemming for a silver/charcoal shimmer like Chanel Graphite. Of course they are very different, but for me it doesn't matter too much since I only wear polishes like these every once in a while.

68 has a very thin and sheer formula, consisting of a dark grey base with silver shimmer. It needed 3 generous coats to be opaque and it dried fast and shiny. There was a bit of shrinkage with Seche Vite, which I didn't like too much. All in all, I think these polishes are great value for the price and they come in tons of shades. They are great for experimenting and nail art, especially water marbling where you waste a lot of polish and don't wanna use your more expensive ones.

  6. They are mostly sold in Eastern Europe. I don't think they are that special but they have a lot of shades and they are very affordable. Kinda like Sinful Colors for the US.
