Pinky-gold shimmery nail varnish...the Holy Grail?

57 replies

Idontjetwashthefucker · 16/06/2026 22:03

I'm looking for a pinky gold shimmery nail varnish (not gel), I've searched everywhere and bought quite a few but the shimmer is always silver toned rather than gold. I've bought gold glittery polish to mix with pink but again, there seems to be more silvery tones or multi coloured glitter in them than just gold.

I know the pic below is of a lipstick but this is the colour I want, does anyone have anything similar that they can personally recommend...price no object

I like this one, pink and sparkly. It’s more a glitter than a sheen though, but looks really cute on. I wear it on its own and as a top coat.

Try Pink Malta from Next. It’s a rose gold.

This might fit the bill?

A warning though: the gold makes my pale skin look rather jaundiced (or like my toenails are developing a fungal infection). I am sticking to silvery tones these days!

Essie astral aura might work for you. Technically it has pink glitter but there's a warm gold shimmer to it especially in the light.

I just googled it and photos don't do it justice, you can't see any of the warmer gold shimmer.

Try Essie Gel Couture in Treat Yourself

So this one looked nice in the bottle but looks completely different on

And another that looks nice until you put it on your nails! Lovely and pinky gold in the bottle but hardly any pink when on

I’m sure I saw one in Primark, I think it was Catrice

It wasn’t Catrice, it was Essence!

I'm wearing the Nailberry Stargazer one now but finding it hard to take a good photo. It's pink in some lights and gold in other lights, or a mix. It's quite shimmery. I love it as a fancy neutral.

Looks lovely in the bottle but quite bronze on the nail...nice though

Edited

Thank you but is another that has more if a pearlescent/silvery sheen than gold

I’m wearing a nails inc one right now that’s very like that. It’s from the unicorn duo.

I was about to say exactly the same!

Idontjetwashthefucker · 17/06/2026 11:32

I think the unicorn is the winner so far, a lot of the others look great until you see them on the nail. The latest OPI one looks the business but in sunlight looks a lit lighter...hardly surprising though. Will try the unicorn one I think.

Thanks again everyone, it's much appreciated ❤️
