Name: Gouda Gouda Two Shoes
Collection: Holland 2012
Colour: Rusty, Brownish Pink with a hint of gold shimmer
Coats: 3-4
Pros: This is a great neutral pink that isn’t the typical super girly hot pink. Don’t get me wrong, I love those pinks but sometimes you want something low key without going nude. I don’t know if it was the formula or the hint of shimmer but this polish has a really nice shine.
Cons: I had problems with patches and streaks, especially at the nail bed, so I had to do 3 coats and 4 on some nails! The hint of gold shimmer that looks so good in the bottle didn’t really show up on my nails and since I have the polishes from similar shades (below) I wouldn’t choose colour one due to its difficult application.
Similar Shades: Instead try one of these: “Java Mauve-a” and “Chocolate Moose” are almost identical except they are a bit lighter than “Gouda Gouda Two Shoes” and they are crèmes without shimmer.

hmm it sounds like the formula isn't quite right on this one, not what I have come to expect from OPI! it definitely looks more shimmery in the bottle compared to your nails, as well. however, it still looks lovely!!
ReplyDeleteI like this shade :) I much prefer it to Chocolate Moose!
ReplyDeleteIt's such an unusual colour - shame about the formula though :(

Ya i'm disappointed by the formula too, but if you like the colour then I would definitely suggest you try Java Mauve-a!
