Swatch! O.P.I. - bling dynasty!

sorry i haven't posted in a while, i've been trying to give my nails and nose a little break!

Here is my 2nd (EVER) swatch... O.P.I. - bling dynasty. Yes this is the color i used for one of my New Years manicures and sadly.. bling just ain't bling without all those diamonds! 
At first i was actually really put off by the color, i thought it was kind of ugly with my skin tone. However since blinging it out i've come to appreciate it more.
It's a sort of orange-brown/gold more than anything, especially in indirect or dim lighting as you can see in the 2nd picture.
To get this gilded nail i applied about 3-4 coats maybe 5? and then applied 1 coat of Seche Vite - quick dry top coat.



i'm curious to know which gold other people like most? i personally think i would rather a gold that is more on the metallic side and brighter, but as i said this has also grown on me.

thanx for stopping by.
