GOSH Polishes - Holographic 549, Rainbow 546, Vanilla Ice 539

L-R: Rainbow, Vanilla Ice, Holographic


Just thought I'd show you some GOSH sparkly polishes I bought when they were on 3 for 2 a few weeks ago (making it £10 for these 3 polishes in total). All of these are pictured without basecoat or topcoat, just call me a rebel!

GOSH Holographic 549
  • Application takes a bit of practice - it has a tendency to drag pretty badly. The bottle suggests for best results to use GOSH 565 Fix Base Coat but I don't own this so I didn't!
  • 3 coats got rid of any baldy spots
  • As with most holos, this badboy dries quickly
  • Chiptastic and the surface almost scratches away after a few days....I still love it though, and even though it's high maintenance (like the best of us) it looks so nice!

GOSH Rainbow 546
  • Yellow toned clear polish with light red/pink flakies - reminds me a little of Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure
  • In the pic below it's shown over Leighton Denny Monroe - it was hard to tell the flakieness without a base colour, it's a good layering polish but a bit wishywashy on it's own
  • Doesn't feel too bumpy
  • Application is straightforward enough - two coats over a base colour gives good impact

GOSH Vanilla Ice 539

Not much to say about this, it's a sheer (check out my nail staining, lovely!) frost with very fine glitter and it looks as it should. Probably another layering polish I think. No application issues.

I am obsessed with....

Montagne Jeunesse Fudge Sauna Face Mask. It costs 98p, so whilst I'm saving up for my hols (and coming to terms with the public sector pay freeze, d'oh) this is the perfect treat, it smells yummy, feels warm and comforting on the skin and makes your skin feel lovely afterwards. The Honey & Cream one is amazing too but seems to be a bit harder to find.

However, this doesn't mean I'm not coveting other stuff (see my wishlist!). It just means I'll wait until after my holiday to buy it (plus my birthday's in September so I'm hoping a few heavy hints dropped in August will lead to good things!)
