I picked up this miniature bottle of OPI's Goldeneye nail polish while I was in the States last week as part of the Skyfall 'Bondettes' miniature polish quartet, and I think it's absolutely perfect for the upcoming festive season.
Gold nails can be tricky to perfect, but this seems to be somewhat of a hybrid finish - somewhere between a traditional glitter and a gold-leaf effect.I love the miniature OPI polishes. They are perfect for more unusual colours as I rarely use up a whole bottle, and they're cheaper too! I picked up the set for $12.50 (approx £8).
The application of this is opaque in two coats. The wear time is about average on me (4-5 Days) and removal is slightly easier than with your traditional, chunkier glitter polishes.
What do you think? Have any of you picked up any colours from the OPI Skyfall collection?
I bought this one thinking how great it looked in the bottle but sadly on my skin its a bit too Orange:(

I really love these finer glitter polishes. Like you say, they're a lot easier to remove and you can' beat a bit of sparkle a this time of year <3 Probably going to treat myself to this now that I've seen it on.

It's gorgeous, i love that the glitters are quite subtle and not too chunky! definitely a lovely shade to wear around Christmas.
ReplyDeletehttp://bravebrunette.blogspot.com
That's a great price for OPI nail polishes!
ReplyDeleteI love that gold polish! I have a gold one from OPI's Kardashian collection. I think it's called Disco Dolls. It's gold glitter with slightly larger flecks of green and read. I'd like to find something similar to this shade of gold though. I think I'd get more use out of it.

OMG this is such a gorgeous color ! and no i haven't ... YET .. haha :)

Hi Fleur!
ReplyDeleteThe polish looks amazing! Do you know where I can get it online?
I live in Dublin and there is no OPI here :(
Cheers! xx
This looks so gorgeous! I have The World Is Not Enough and I love it, it's basically the gunmetal version of this!
ReplyDeleteEllie @ Ellalogy
Such a vibrant gold! I need to stock up on those miniature polish sets...so much more convenient than the regular sizes.
ReplyDeleteI have this color too! It went on a little thin for me and needed more than two coats. But the name alone makes me love this polish... so many days I spent in my youth playing Goldeneye on N64!
ReplyDeletehttp://cupofashtea.blogspot.com/
so so pretty! it's on my wishlist!
ReplyDeleteI have that and I love it! Try to add the crackel with it its pretty cool (only on one or two fingers)
ReplyDeletehttp://theworkette.blogspot.com/
I just painted by nails with this, and I LOVE it! I had to use 3 coats for opacity, but it's so worth the extra effort/time spent. Gorgeous color!
ReplyDeleteKeep calm and carry lipstick.
I LOVE this nail polish! Gold is such a festive color and it really really suits you! This reminds me off Kate Moss in her recent red carpet appearance here :)

It looks so gorgeous! Wish I could find those in Finland as well.. Or maybe I'll end up buying them online! :-D

ooh it looks great on - sometimes gold colours don't have enough oomph when they get on the nail, but this looks great!

LOVE this! I'm an OPI addict and have so far managed to keep myself away from the Skyfall collection as it's on my Christmas list but it's getting harder and harder, this one is just beautiful! XO

I don't usually like gold shades but this is really nice. There's a few shades I want from the Skyfall collection but I've managed to stay strong and not order any, yet. ;)

OMGOSH!!! I have been looking for this colour everywhere. Thanks for this awesome post. One of the girls at my nail salon had it on months ago and i didn't get a chance to ask her what shade it was. Love it. I'm going to buy it asap!

Loved this review, but GoldenEye wasn't my fave! I preferred The Spy Who Loved Me, because it's such a lovely Christmassy red :)

ReplyDeleteHi Fleur, I'm Sara from Italy! I always watch your videos on youtube and I like them :)
ReplyDeleteI have a beauty blog too, which is named "Le Divagazioni di una fatina ARANCIONE" ("An orange coloured little fairy's digressions", I hope I translated it well!). Since I don't own Goldeneye, and I'm writing a post about gold nail polishes, I hope you don't mind if I take one picture of yours to show to my readers how this polish looks like. In case that bothers you, please tell me and I'll remove the picture!
