I have a bit of a crush on rose gold. I recently bought myself a rose gold Mimco pouch and a pair of rose gold heart earrings. So when Laura showed me a picture of Essie Penny Talk, I fell in love.

That's not my swatch because 1. my swatch pictures aren't that smashing, and 2. I don't own Penny Talk yet. I came across Australis Rose Tattoo on one of my many visits to Priceline, and at $4.95, I had to buy it. Don't look to closely at my cuticles, my hands get pretty beat up at work. They were actually a lot worse a few days ago, but I've started massaging rose hip oil into them. That stuff is magical!

Australis Rose Tattoo is a shimmery metallic. The colour is definitely more of a bronzey rose gold than Penny Talk, which looks more pink in the countless swatch pictures I've seen. The finish of this one reminds me OPI Goldeneye. It's a shimmery, glittery metallic, and streak-free! I was skeptical when I read 'streak free' on the bottle, because I think we all know that cheap metallic polish can look awful when it dries. In this case, the bottle is not lying.
So is this a dupe for Essie Penny Talk? I don't think it's an exact dupe, but it's pretty close. It's a gorgeous colour on it's own, and great value.

So gorgeous :) I have the Australis Foil Spoil and I really like the formula. I may pick this one up too :)
ReplyDeleteGuys, you need to stop giving me lemmings. I went to Kmart on my lunch break today and they didn't have either the Rose Tattoo OR the Foil Spoil. I think I might have to venture further out to find the two... I'll keep you posted.
