DIOR GOLD LEAF TOP COAT

I couldn't resist giving this beautiful Gold Leaf Topcoat a try at the Dior counter in 

Edgars Gateway today. 

This forms part of their just launched 

Limited Edition,

 Golden Shock Christmas 2014 collection.

It can be used over any colour polish,on its own, but over a red it looks stunning and will certainly give your nails that festive party look. 

Whilst the gold leaf looks quite plentiful in the bottle it did require two or three applications in order to deposit a noticeable covering of gold flecks.
It does require a little care when applying as you need to press down the gold leaves onto the nails with the brush otherwise the leaves curl at the edges.

Don't expect a nice uniform look either, as each nail will have a a covering of various sizes and amounts of glistening golden leaves, resulting in your gold topped "mani" having a

 different and unique look every time. 

The top coat can be applied on all nails or an application to just one accent nail on each hand.

What was great about this product was the sticking power of the leaves, 
(I was concerned that they would peel or drop off) , but once applied they stay!

The packaging is stunning and reminds me of a Christmas ornament, so I really don't mind finding one of these beauties under my tree this Christmas...
