Butter London: Fiddlesticks

Butter London: Fiddlesticks

Described as a full coverage, semi-matte magenta glitter nail lacquer suspended in a raspberry base

Let me tell you right away: Today's polish is gorgeous! It's a beautiful colour with a really lovely glitter added. The formula is really good and so is the coverage. I used two easy coats for my nails today and the drying time was good.

I added a few floral nail stickers onto my nails.

Here's the final result, including a layer of topcoat.

Isn't this just lovely?

Butter London: Fiddlesticks

This is "Fiddlesticks" alone; two coats and a layer of topcoat. I am not a huge fan of semi matte nails on myself, so I almost always add topcoat to make it sparkle more.

This is the two things I used today. I love these simple floral nail stickers.

Butter London: Jack The Lad

Butter London: Jack The Lad

Moss green shimmer nail lacquer with golden, turquoise and green microglitter

"Jack The Lad" has been sitting in the infamous box of untrieds for quite some time now. Not because it's not beautiful, because it is. But because I buy more nail polish than I have time to wear. What a shame!

The formula is good. I used two coats for my manicure and the drying time was good.

I was in the mood for flowers! I had some pretty floral stickers that I thought would look good on this pretty and very sparkly moss green polish from Butter London. I also dapped a bit of glitter onto the nails; I used W7's glitter topper "White Wedding".

This is my final result, including a layer of topcoat to seal it all up.

There's a bit of blue iridescent glitter in the W7 glitter, and that fits "Jack The Lad" perfectly, since that contains turquoise microglitter itself.

Here's "Jack The Lad" alone; two coats and no topcoat. Look how shiny it is by itself. I know it's not a Spring/Summer colour, but that doesn't make it less pretty, does it?!

Here are the things I used today.

"Jack The Lad" is super pretty and sparkly and I love the mix of microglitters in it.

Number of coats: 2
Drying time: Good

Finish: Shimmer with microglitter
Overall impression: Really sparkly and pretty mix of microglitter

Butter London: No More Waity Katie

Butter London: No More Waity Katie

Grey jelly with lavender microglitter

I'm trying to work my way through the stash of polishes that I consider rehoming. "No More Waity Katie" is actually quite pretty. I like the lavender microglitters a lot. The grey base is a jelly though and jellies aren't my favourites - you probably know that by now :D

Today I'm wearing it for the first and probably last time. I used three coats for full opacity. I tried to get away with two but it didn't look amazing. The third coat made a huge difference. The drying time is good.

I decided to perk it up a bit with some colour. I stamped on it with Colour Alike's stamping polish "Tainted love". I found my design on Chez Delaney's stamping plate "Water Marble". I topped it all with Orly's holo glitter topper "Shine On Crazy Diamond".

Here's the final design:

I think this is quite pretty!

Here's "No More Waity Katie" alone; three coats and no topcoat.

Butter London: No More Waity Katie

This is the stuff I used today.

"No More Waity Katie" has been sitting in my box of untrieds for quite a lot of years. It's quite funny now that I think of it: Today it's no more waity for "No More Waity Katie" :D 

This polish will be rehomed.

Number of coats: 3

Drying time: Good

Finish: Jelly with microglitter
Overall impression: I like the cute microglitter. I'm not fond of the jelly finish.

Layla ~ Ceramic Effect CE78 Sparkle Pink and CE95 Walking on the Ocean

Layla ~ Ceramic Effect CE78 Sparkle Pink and CE95 Walking on the Ocean

Pink packed with silver glitter and Blue with purple shimmer

Today I’m using two of my new Layla polishes that I bought in Italy recently. Ceramic Effect CE78 Sparkle Pink is exactly what the name suggests: Sparkly pink. There is so much silver microglitter in this! CE95 Walking on the Ocean is oceanic blue with a purple shimmer that almost makes it look duochromatic.

I used both polishes in this kitchen sink mani. This first picture is taken in ordinary daylight, no sun.

Pinkie: Two layers of the blue and a stripe of the pink down the middle. I also made an ultra thin line of Revlon’s Holographic Pearls down the middle of the pink.

Ring finger: Two layers of the blue and a lip sticker bought in Germany.

Middle finger: Two layers of Butter London’s Dodgy Barnett. I made the stripes with the blue and the pink alternately. 

Pointer: Two layers of the pink, topped with a skull bought on Aliexpress.

They are all topped with a layer of topcoat.

This picture is taken in the lightbox.

Here are all the polishes I used.

I really like kitchen sink manis, where all the nails are different as long as the colour scheme makes it all come together.

  

Number of coats: 2

Drying time: Good

Finish: Microglitter / Shimmer

Overall impression: I like both polishes. The blue is sheer on the first coats but builds up in two coats. The pink is delicious.
