Oh my goodness. I have had this polish for months, but only applied it on my tips last night because I was feeling the gold vibe for the fall. I love it!! It looks heavy in the bottle-it is a dense, matte gold glitter-but it looks perfectly natural against my NC45 tone, it is almost a neutral on me, it doesn't stand out garrishly at all! It enhances my hands-very St. Tropez-ish. The glitter is very, very fine, it has the effect of looking more like a rubbed-in shimmer bronzing creme. One coat does it, and it dries very quick because you aren't supposed to apply a topcoat. I did try this on my toes this past summer and it made my toes look dead, but it is gorgeous on the hands. My newest staple! However, this was part of a limited series-Metals, or something like thatwhich also included Iron Butterfly, which is a neat matte charcoal glitter.
