The color gold, the brighter sister to sunshine yellow, is, if anything, even more joyous and fun. Symbolizing wealth and prosperity, decadent luxury and success, gold, be it sparkling with glitter, or matte, has a warming glow that’s unreplicated across the color wheel.
Linked to strength and power, the precious metal is valued the world over, and has been for centuries. It’s also associated with wisdom, enlightenment and knowledge, and if gold is your favorite color, it suggests you’re generous, compassionate and kind. And that’s why it’s my go-to choice of polish, obviously!
1) ILNP Holographic Nail Polish – Empire
What Makes it Great
Intensely sparkling, this awesome holographic polish catches every glint and twinkle, reflecting it threefold. Eye catching just doesn’t cover the effect this has when you walk into a room. Jaw dropping shine and mirror effects, this polish has it all – glamor, glitz and gorgeousness, and what’s more, it lasts over two weeks!
Where it Could be Improved
This polish sure does hang on! It took some time and patience to remove.

2) Saviland Glitter Nail Polish Set
What Makes it Great
This set of the most glorious golds and glittered pinks is awesome. The colors are intensely shiny, mirrored to perfection and stunningly beautiful. Perfect for day or evening wear, they’re frivolous when necessary, but can turn serious and powerful in an instant, and they lasts. I kept mine on for nearly two weeks, and loved every moment.
Where it Could be Improved
With the darker, richer golds, I did use three coats to achieve the intensity I wanted.
Saviland Chrome Nail Powder - Holographic Gold Nail Powder 6 Colors Mirror and Bubble Effect Nail Art Decoration Manicure Pigment...
- Package Includes -- 6 jars of nail powder, each jar with 1 sponge stick.
- Mirror and Bubble Effect -- Mirror effect will differ from different base color (kindly reminder: black base color can create better mirror effect). And bubble effect is also a good choice to create unique nails.
3) OPI Nail Polish – Glitter All the Way
What Makes it Great
Unlike glitter or holographic polishes, imagine molten gold poured across your nails (without all the burning pain, obviously) forming a sheet of purest precious metal. That’s what this superb polish looks like. It doesn’t need glitter to shine, it possesses an inner beauty that radiates out. A gentle buff just increases the mirror glow, and like gold, it lasts a long time. I almost couldn’t bear to remove these after they developed a chip on day 18.
Where it Could be Improved
There’s no denying it – removing this liquid gold takes time and effort. It’s like it was begging to stay on my nails! So, never one to refuse, I reapplied!
