Burberry's new Golden Light collection for the holidays features a few limited edition products for lips and nails in festive gold packaging. The Nail polish in Light Gold No.107 ($21; burberry.com), is a gorgeous metallic yellow gold.
I do prefer bronzy golds to yellow golds, but this one is much more of a dull gold and definitely unlike any other gold polish I own. Burberry's idea of the gold packaging is beautiful - its not the super shiny, gaudy gold. Its done just right to make it look sophisticated, yet quite festive. Light Gold, is the perfect description for this color - no chunky shimmer or glitter, just a nice wearable gold in a smooth, creamy base. I'm super clumsy when it comes to applying metallic polishes and end up with the worst case of very visible brush strokes, but the formula of this polish was super easy to work with. I needed two coats for complete opacity and the consistency is just right for a metallic polish. It does dry pretty fast and dries to a slightly dull finish, so be sure to use a glossy topcoat.
I can't comment too much on the wear time - I've had this on only for a couple of days now and haven't seen any chips or tipwear, which is quite good, considering most polishes start to chip within a couple of days on me. The brush is quite wide for my small nails, which is my only qualm. That apart, I love everything else about this polish. If you do like gold polishes, Light Gold is a must have! As of today, this seems to be back in stock on the Burberry Website. I'm not sure if it will be released elsewhere like Nordstrom, so be sure to grab one if you like the color!
