Ruby Wing Eclipse and Sephora by OPI It's Real 18k Gold Top Coat

I may have put pictures of this into one of my Photo Dumps before... But I kinda like this polish. I really want to get Ruby Wing Moonstone (I havent gotten around to it), but Eclipse is nice and understated.
For Christmas, Boyfriend got me the 18k topcoat because I refused to buy OPI The Man With the Golden Gun (too rich for my blood). I like how the flakes are super small in this one... it makes for a nice accent.


Pretty, right?






This is before and after sunlight... the after usually gets a bit darker, but it is super cold outside and I cheated and used indirect light from the window. But you can tell there's a difference (just remember its usually a much bigger difference)







Eclipse is a bit streaky but evens out mostly after the second coat and this is two generous coats. Its nice, but no one would ever notice it but yourself. The top coat on the other hand is beautiful!!! I love the little flecks of gold. It goes on really smooth (this is one coat), it dries quickly but a bit rubbery, and it lays flat...

Do you have any solar color changing polishes? Maybe a better one (dont hold out on me)!

  1. I love blue polishes like this and love the blue/gold combo! I didn't get any of the gold leaf/flake polishes but the SOPI one was tempting since it's been on sale. I almost got it with the VIB gift card but ended up getting something else. I have a few color changing polishes and only tried the blue one. I thought they were interesting but once the novelty wore off, I wasn't too interested in them. Anyway--this is a beautiful mani!

    1. I saw Man with the Golden Gun on sale too, at Ulta. It was only 20 bucks! I have no idea what the SOPI one costs... I think I want the one from Cirque or Zoya if I get another.

  2. I LOOOOVE this type of blue with the gold flakes over it! It looks just like lapis lazuli (a stone) and it makes me happy because I love that stone haha. Great mani!

  3. OH and I have a couple of Del Sol polishes, and I love them! I have two glitter ones and one shimmery one. The color change is very drastic and obvious.

    1. I may have to look into Del Sol! It does kinda look like lapis, eh? I never really noticed that!
