The nail polish is a gold shade with tiny, little bronze glitter particles in it. It goes on incredibly smoothly and the little brush makes the application very easy. I like the shape of the handle of the brush because it's so easy to grip which helps one achieve consistent coverage. An application of 2 coats lasts me a good 5 days with no chipping or cracking - on the one day I even spent 5 hours in the garden planting plants and the nail polish stood up to all of that without any chips or scratches. Another thing I really love about this nail polish, is that it dries incredibly fast which is perfect for someone who is most impatient when it comes to waiting for each layer to dry.
