Butter London Sprog

Self-purchased


Butter London Sprog is a dusty periwinkle - "serenity" if you will - creme. 2 coats. Since it was a Butter London polish, I expected a lot from the formula. Sadly, I found it thick and a bit stringy. Time to break out the nail polish thinner! Other than that, it dried shiny, though I still used top coat.

Thanks for looking!

Butter London Two Fingered Salute

Self-purchased





Butter London Two Fingered Salute is a greyed jade creme with copper microglitter and pink and gold shimmer. It's a marvelous polish and it reminds me of a certain kind of stone whenever I look at it! The formula was creamy and easy to control, but it had dragging and leveling-out issues. A bummer, but I think it's worth the hassle! It dried in an average period of time and had a nice gloss. I used top coat to try to smooth it out, but you can see it didn't really work.

Two Fingered Salute is a Nordstrom exclusive, but I was able to purchase it from Butter London's website.

Butter London Disco Biscuit

Self-purchased






Butter London Disco Biscuit is a bright magenta jelly with blue/purple microglitter. I really adore it! I used 4 coats. This isn't really atypical of jellies as they are known to be sheer on the first coat or so. But if you like, you could use Disco Biscuit as a layering polish for a more opaque look. It had a great formula as it applied well and flowed easily. Since I had to apply so many layers, the dry time was slow. It also dried sort of flat so I used 1 coat of top coat. It was still a little gritty to touch. Though you can see my nail line in the pictures, it's not at all evident in real life.

What do you guys think of Disco Biscuit? I'd love to know!

See you guys on the other side of the day!

Butter London The Black Knight




Butter London The Black Knight

The Black Knight contains magenta, blue, red, gold, and silver microglitter in a black jelly base. It's gorgeous in real life, and a lemming my friend helped me fulfill! :D (She totally trolled me when she gave it to me though...) I used 3 coats to build up the jelly base and glitter. I was expecting The Black Knight to be clumpy and sheer, but was happily surprised at how easily it built up and applied. Even some stray brush hairs couldn't hinder the smooth application! The dry time wasn't that bad, but make sure to wait a couple of minutes in between coats or you'll get some dragging. It dried a bit dull and gritty so topcoat is a must! I used two coats of topcoat because it was still a little gritty and not as sparkly with one. 

Don't you guys love it when your lemmings are fulfilled?

See you guys on the other side of the day!
