Hey everybody! Look! I managed to take off my beloved Ruby Refined. It was hard, considering how lovely it was...and it didn't even match my outfit today, so that's really saying a lot. :) So, as promised, I have for your enjoyment my other purchase from the Maybelline Color Show Brocades collection: Gilded Rose.
I just fell in love with this little number when I saw it...even my hubby chose this as his 2nd favorite (after Ruby Refined). It's girly and ethereal and fairytale princess-esque.
Gilded Rose is, as you can see, quite gilded. It's a very reflective metallic gold loaded with pale pink glitter.
The combination of pale pink and gold feels almost antique...but it's so GOLD that I don't think the Victorians were quite this ostentatious. :D
I applied three coats of Gilded Rose because I could see some visible nail line with two, and I wanted you all to experience that fancy wrapping paper effect these Brocades have! I only used one coat of top coat...but I'm thinking I'll slap on another before I head to the office tomorrow...
So...do you agree with me that the Maybelline Color Show Brocades are pretty special? I thought so!! I purchased my Brocades at Rite Aid, but I'm not sure where else they are available. Maybe Princesses-R-Us? :P
Thanks for stopping by, and have a lovely day! :)
Haha, you just had to end on a funny note! :D Love this one too! Gosh, I don't think there's one in the collection that I don't like. That will make it hard to figure out which ones to buy. :)

I know...that's why I want ALLLL of them! :D I'm really fascinated with Amethyst Couture. It's highly unusual in person. These only run $3.99 too, which helps. :D
DeleteI need to find these! Love!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! They are so beautiful! <3
DeleteThis collection has been the only one that's got me this excited in awhile! Unfortunately, no Princesses-R-Us in my neck of the woods :^\
ReplyDeleteGood...we need fewer princess things around. :P Try Rite Aid instead!! I'm with you...it seems extra special when a collection comes out that's actually memorable.
DeleteAnother beaut! I can see why you're fascinated with these. I can't choose between the two you've shown-- I adore red and I've been really loving rise gold lately. Brian has good taste ;) Both are stunning on you.
ReplyDeleteI wish the photos would have captured just how much these polishes gleam. Gilded Rose looks like gold lame on the nail. :) And thank you dear. <3
DeleteThis is really pretty! I love the pink and the gold.
ReplyDeleteMe too!! The lilac one is similar to this one and just as pretty!
DeleteI keep hearing that these chip badly, but now I'm encouraged to try for myself :)
ReplyDeleteI wore this mani for 2 full days without chips...and things tend to chip badly on me. Maybe it's my body chemistry?
