GOSH Golden Dragon
GOSH Golden Dragon is the color I want my pet dragon to have but with holo edging. This is a a green with golden shimmer and touches of blue. It's vibrant and fresh without being too much.

Smackdown: Flakes
I've been going through my stash and I was suprised when I discovered I owned so many flake polishes. I was even more suprised to discover that a few were dupes for each other. Ahh the life of an addict.They are from left to right (or top to bottom) Sally Hansen Hidden Treasure, Nubar 2010, Nfu-Oh 38 and GOSH Rainbow. As always, photos can be clicked for a larger image.
My conclusions - they are alike. So much alike that I suggest you pick one you can easily get your hands on and call it a day. Unless you are like me and like the hunt. I will say that the formula on the Nubar is better. It's thinner and you can put a few coats on without it building up and looking thick.
GOSH Metallic Green
I received GOSH Metallic Green in a swap from Michelle over at The Lacquer Files. She also sent me my first Models Own and P2. I'm was so giddy! It's like getting a present each time I get a swap.First I should warn you. I smacked my hand against my coffee cup and took a chunk of the first layer of one of my nails off. So that little dent you see on my middle finger is that. Oh, and when wearing metallic polishes - wear a ridge filler. I didn't and should have.
This is such an odd color and I love it! It's a soft green, along the lines of a mint, that is metallic. Two coats with very little brush strokes.
I finally had some sun to take photos. FINALLY!!
GOSH Gasoline
I fell in love with this color from seeing photos of it online. I was glad to get it in a swap. It's a grape purple with pink and purple shimmer. This was a bit difficult to photograph because the sparkles are more pronounced in low light as opposed to sunlight. Which is odd because usually sparkly polishes really shine in the sun. This one was shy!Also, it was cloudy and close to raining when I took these.
This one is color accurate.
In the sun where you don't see much sparkle.

I know not everyone has access to GOSH so I attempted to find/make a dupe. I thought Pure Ice Rio was a close match to the sparkle and I just needed to find a purple base that matched Gasoline. I use China Glaze Grape Pop and China Glaze Grape Juice and layered Pure Ice Rio over each one. Not a match but Grape Juice with Rio is a close match - just a bit lighter.

Smackdown: Duochromes
Warning: Photo heavy post. Click for a larger photo.It's raining and dreary today so I thought I would pull out some duochromes that look like they may be dupish and have a smackdown. It's my version of a pretend tea party. The contenders are GOSH Purple Heart, Nubar Peacock Feathers, Chelsea Kaleidoscope and Nubar Purple Beach. All these photos are using my Ott light but color is accurate.
Here they are in their bottles. Left to right they are GOSH Purple Heart, Nubar Peacock Feathers, Chelsea Kaleidoscope and Nubar Purple Beach.
GOSH Purple Heart.
Nubar Peacock Feathers.
Chelsea Kaleidoscope.
Nubar Purple Beach. Don't mind the bump - I smudged it before it was dry. Opps!
Here they are on the hand. Left to right (top to bottom) they are GOSH Purple Heart, Nubar Peacock Feathers, Chelsea Kaleidoscope and Nubar Purple Beach.
Here you can see the base color better. The order is revered here so left to right they are Nubar Purple Beach, Chelsea Kaleidoscope, Nubar Peacock Feather and GOSH Purple Heart.
So who wins?
GOSH Rainbow Makes an Opal

I'm really loving GOSH Rainbow! I may need an extra bottle. I've worn it over black and other dark colors but I wanted to see what it looked like over a white. I don't own a white but I do have Color Club Who Are You Wearing? which is a light grey almost white. It looks like an opal. Really very pretty. It's subtle but not too subtle. You can still see the flash of colors really well. I cut my nails and it looks great on my nubs.
Who Can Take a Rainbow...GOSH Can!
I received GOSH Rainbow in a swap (I love swapping with folks outside the US!) and I decided to put it over Finger Paints Tough Art to Follow (a dark green). I wanted to see what it looked like and I was feeling lazy and didn't feel like taking off what I had on.GOSH Rainbow is flakey goodness. It reminds me of Nfu-Oh 60 but in a clear base as opposed to a black base. I like the clear base since that means I can wear it over anything. It went on thick but didn't seem to add thickness to my nails. It dried really fast too.
Pretty!
Pretend you don't see this manicure as worn and with tip wear!
I wonder what this would look like over white?
