Butter London Manis

Hey guys! Sorry it's been so long again.... since my last post, I've done two more butter London manis! The first I did was using Disco Biscuit... this polish is very sheer and is probably best for layering. However, if you apply around four coats ( kind of like with Knackered) it looks good. The only thing with this polish that I didn't like is how it dried.... it was fairly rough and not a shiny finish at all.... in fact, I felt like it was almost more matte really.

It probably doesn't come across in this picture really.... but it definitely wasn't a smooth finish. I liked the polish, but wasn't super happy with the finish. I know it's glitter and those usually aren't smooth, but this one seemed different. You'd probably have to try it to see what I'm talking about. lol But I do love the color. It's very bright and fun! 

The one I have on now (and will be taking off tomorrow to try something new) is Slapper. And this is the one that I was pleasantly surprised with. I normally don't care for bright blues or greens on my nails, but this one is different. 


Anyway, I love this shade.... it's kind of turquoisey. haha Highly recommend this one! Not sure what I'm going to try next... I have Trout Pout still to try, but I'm thinking I might save that for spring.... I also still have a couple of Sally Hansen's to use.... I'll figure it out tomorrow. haha Oh and I also got a set of thin brush polishes... like the nail art ones that salons use.... so should be easier to try manis from The Beauty Department! And I'll try, once again, to not wait so long before my next post. Til then, glam it up!

New Mani & An Ulta Mini-Haul

Hey y'all!! Ok I promised I wouldn't wait as long between posts and I'm keeping it! haha Last week I did some shopping at Ulta and had a mini haul! (I'm not really sure what constitutes a full haul... haha) Anyway! They FINALLY have butter London's Spring Collection!! YEAH! I got all but one color. I actually got one that I hadn't planned on! Well, from butter anyway. I also got a color from OPI's Nicki Minaj collection that I wasn't planning on either! Ok, so here they are!



This is Save Me from OPI's Nicki Minaj collection... I couldn't resist the unique glitters in this!! So fun!


This is Disco Biscuit... fun color! Bright pink with bluish glitters.


Trout Pout... gorgeous salmon shade! This will be perfect for spring!


Knackered... gorgeous oyster kind of shade... very sheer! If you put on about 3 or 4 coats it looks super pretty! 


This one is the surprise butter shade, Slapper..... usually I can't stand brighter blues on my nails... but this shade is sooo pretty! I was pleasantly surprised by this one. =) 

Ok, so my newest mani......



I tried to get different lighting on this... with flash and without. Anyway.... the base is Knackered and I put Save Me on top. I love it!! I almost left it just with Knackered because it was really pretty on it's own (again, with 3 or 4 coats), but I really wanted some of that awesome glitter on. haha Anyway....... highly recommend these shades!! I'll be back soon with another mani! Til then, glam it up!
