China Glaze Swanky Silk

I can't believe the Olympics is already over. I waited four years for this, and it's over in the blink of an eye. I was super excited to see the Spice Girls reuniting to play at the Closing Ceremony! For a moment, I felt like a teeny bopper again. Lol. :D

Today, I have Swanky Silk from the China Glaze Bohemian Collection to show you. It is a pink/gold duochrome with a metallic finish.

The base color of Swanky Silk is champagne gold, and its shimmers are pink. What you see on the nails when you look at it from straight on is that the center color is pink, while the edges of the nails are gold. The more you tilt your hand, the more gold you will see. Gold and pink are two colors that I love, so I am very happy that the duochrome is strong enough in this polish that both colors are visible.

What you see in the swatches is two coats, and it is still a little bit sheer. That is how I prefer to wear this, but you will need a third coat if you want total opacity. The formula is thin and easy to work with. Remember that with metallics, thin coats are a must if you don't want to end up with a streaky mess.

You can find Swanky Silk for a limited time at your local nail salons and at beauty stores such as Ulta and Sally Beauty for a retail price of $6.99 for 0.5 fl oz.
