Nail Polish Collection: Metallic Swatches

I have accumulated quite a few metallic nail polish shades. I find that they are great for accent nails, and also for layering with glitter colors.  I do find in general that metallic shades can be difficult to work with, as they can show up streaky, but I really like the effect that they provide. 

My favorite is absolutely Orly Rage, its a beautiful rose gold shade with great reflection. I do find this shade to be a bit grainy. I also really enjoy Revlon Smoldering, it has a grey/silver/purple/green duochrome. The pictures are not doing it justice.
