Orly Rage. I've been trying to find a bottle for months after seeing swatches and being convinced I needed it in my life. I tried to find a dupe or something very similar, from Chi Chi Go Go Girl to Ulta3 Envy, but they've all ended up too brown and/or frosty. I couldn't seem to find a rose gold foil polish, no matter where I looked. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled across the teeniest bottle of Rage at some random chemist one Friday afternoon. It was pure coincidence that I even stepped foot into that store. They didn't sell a full bottle, but 5.3mL was better than nothing, so I quickly took it to the counter.
The colour is noticeably more of a rose gold than the usual taupe/old gold/bronze foil polishes out there, but to be perfectly honest, the rose gold quality wasn't as pronounced as I'd hoped. Yes, there is definitely a bit of a pink tone, but overall the polish to my eyes is still very bronzy. Having said that, when I compared Rage side-by-side to Go Go Girl and Envy, the two didn't even come close. Next to Rage, Envy appeared more like a pale gold and Go Go Girl a frosty pewter. I like that the finish of Rage isn't overwhelmingly silvery like so many foil polishes. I'm now considering experimenting with mixing my own nail polish, perhaps a light pink metallic or a copper with Envy. If I can't find the perfect rose gold, I may just have to make it.
What a pretty color! I think I'll have to buy my first Orly nail polish now. :)

This looks so lovely! Now that I think about it, I really haven't got any polishes like this in my (somewhat small) collection, but then again rarely do I get the opportunity to wear polishes anyway. Never mind, I loved drooling over this pretty polish!

yes, this has the tinge of rose. and I thought it is similar to a China Glaze in Passion that I have. But I went to search my blog and see that China Glaze Passion is straight gold instead.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty colour. I just did a nail art post if you would like to check it out :)

Gees! This is so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's a gorgeous colour :) x
ReplyDeleteLovely polish - but it would have been so much nicer if it did turn out to be a rose gold! I'm infatuated with rose gold accessories these days.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and elegant colour. And I also couldn't stop noticing what lovely fingers you have too! You must have done a great job keeping your cuticles at bay and looking after them. Mine are just a total disaster from excessive washing, which I really need to learn to reduce...
ReplyDeletegorgeous colour! this one is nice because sometimes some metallic/ glittery / shimmery nail polishes could be too 'in your face'. But this one stays subtle and wearable.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color!

ReplyDeleteoooooooooooo i really like the light sheen to this color!!!!

This color reminds me of Chanel Delight. This may have a bit more rose gold tone, I am really into color similar to this lately:)
ReplyDeleteRight now I've got a DIY rose gold manicure on :) I used a gold foil polish and a sheer pinky purple polish. Actually I've got a post with a pic in my drafts, I just haven't published it yet.. should do that tonight actually!!
ReplyDeleteHappy you managed to find a bottle. It's lovely. Perhaps you could use a pink coat of polish underneath to bring out the rose? Regardless, let us know how you go on the mixing nail polish front!
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, love the finish of it :) x
