Love, Love, LOVE this color! Pretty sure this is going to be my new "go to" polish when I can't decide what to wear. It looks stunning against my skin tone. I am strongly considering buying a back-up bottle.

In the bottle the polish looks like a neutral dusty pink that leans towards orange with a subtle gold micro shimmer, but on the nail the pink hues are pulled out more (due to my skin tone) creating more of a dusty rose pink. The micro shimmer is really only noticeable under direct sunlight, which is what I would prefer with this color. I like that it is subtle and leans more towards a rich creamy look.

The formula was very creamy and easy to apply. Two coats was sufficient. It wears quite well, I wore it a little over a week before any noticeable chipping occurred.

I would definitely buy this polish again! It is neutral enough that it could be worn in any season, but not so typical that it would be considered boring.

Love this colour. It is nude with pink/brown, almost like a dusty pink and looks great and matches all outfits!

My absolute favourite nail polish! I usually do three coats to get it really shiny but two would probably do. Not too thick or too thin. Most gorgeous colour which is literally always appropriate - work, evening things, parties, whatever.

LOVE LOVE LOVE. Product goes on smoothly. Smells great and looks so good on. Suits almost any skin tone and is a great neutral base for work.

Def buy again.

Excellent excellent solid neutral pinkish/peachish color! I am a fan of neutrals that do not have glitters or frostiness. This color is great for any season or time of day.

The most gorgeous neutral mauvey/salmon dusky rose with just enough gold shimmer to give it some dimension. I believe this may not suit cool toned skin tones hence the "old lady" comments. I am very pale but yellow/olive toned and this looks gorgeous the most beautiful smoked pink which is totally flattering. Very similar to Sally Hansens 'so much fawn' but I like this better. Smooth to apply and good coverage dries relatively fast. This is a good substitute for my old fave Revlon Topspeed in dusk which got discontinued some years ago - this is just a tad darker.

Medium-dark rosy peach with hidden microshimmer. It's definitely a spring color, dark enough to transition cleanly out of darker, winter colors and microshimmer-y enough to transition into brighter, summer colors.

Formula was excellent. Application was super easy.

Unfortunately, it looks kind of "blah" with my medium-dark, warm skin tone. I would not buy again as I am not in love with it.

I abs love this colour....its the most perfect dusky rose with as subtle gold shimmer running through it....it looks expensive and its also a very good neutral colour if you wear a lot of taupes/greys on your nails this makes a lovely change...it reminds me of organza and would make a perfect wedding manicure colour ...I had a very similar colour back in the 90's by Estee Lauder and got through several bottles of it,but sadly they discontinued it ..but now I have found this & I'm very happy...I'm fair skinned but tanned so it makes my hands look more tanned ...Im def buying a back up of this as its so lovely....

I felt like i had to write this review to save this nail polish!!! this is beautiful, totally not a grandma shade!?!?!?!!?. Its a beautiful neutral pink, In New Zealand (where i am) its currently autumn and this is a new release, despite it being released for spring i think this is a very good autumn shade. I also found that this nail color matches alot of neutral/pink lip colors i have, It really is basically the shade of you're average nude pink lipgloss, i hope no one who thinks that a neutral pink is tacky? it never goes out of fashion. I think this nail polish is a winner, definately in my top five.

I personally love this color, although the first day I wore it, I got many "grandma" comments. On my nails it's a dusty rose with a strong brown undertone with slight gold shimmer. This color really reminds me of my favorite MAC lipstick "taupe". The reason for the low rating is because of the formula. This was def a big MISS. Formula was goopy and I got a lot of bubbles which is one of my pet peeves. Such a shame because I personally like this color but I wouldn't repurchase this.

Wah, I really want this polish to be like the perfect pair of khaki pants, just a great all around neutral. Instead it looks like I took my grandma's nail polish. Something about the color in my bottle is too dusty or brown. I might have to donate this one to the local senior citizen home.

This color really looks like the rind of gouda cheese. The color is exactly as described below. I think it looks a bit prettier in the bottle than on the nails, but still a beautiful spring neutral.

I'd call this a rose with a rusty overtone. Like so many polishes right now, it has the basically invisible micro shimmer that just lfts the color above "cream". It's a fairly intense rose for being what some might call an "old lady" color. It's very pretty and very flattering.

Like the previous reviewers have said, it's a dusty rose with brown tones. You can see a hint of green but with one coat and in direct sunlight only! It gets lost in the shade. It's a nice transition color from winter to spring or you just want color on your fingers that doesn't scream.

This is a dusty rose. Maybe leans a little orange in the bottle, but looks like a true dusty rose on the nail.. It was fully opaque after 2 coats. I loved the swatches I saw online of the Holland collection because I thought the shimmer in the polishes looked amazing, however, the shimmer is really lack luster in this polish. I have a few other from the collection, the shimmer in those polishes really stands out even with out any light shining on the nail. But with Gouda Gouda Two Shoes, I can only really see the shimmer in the sun light.

Formula is great, I wore it for 5 days and had minimal tip wear.

Gouda Gouda Two Shoes is from OPI Holland 2012. This color is a dusty desert rose color with a hint of brown undertone. The color itself isn't something remarkable but OPI adds some really fine golden glitter to make this color alive. The color tone leans more to a warm tone and it's quite flattering for spring and even fall.
I put two coats to make it opaque and under certain lights, you can find the golden reflection. It's quite flattering but doesn't really stands out like the rest of the collection. I like it but not enough to buy another one as I don't think I'll reach this color often. But if you like subtle rosy color, this might be a good choice.
