Butter London ~ Disco Biscuit

Hey there, hi there, ho there!!  Stopping in with a quick swatch for ya... It's certainly one I've had my eye on for a little while.  Had myself a nice little shopping trip in Ulta - with my obsession with nail polish the Hubs bought me some nail polishes for Mother's Day as part of my present :) This was one of 'em.  I was so excited about it, I even went outside to let the sun do it's work!  It's pretty, it's juicy, it's bright, sparkly & fun it's Disco Biscuit!!

Love the pink against the green grass LOL
I'd love to know how this name came up for Butter London.  It's weird, but after looking at it; I think it suits it really well.  Disco Biscuit is a hot pink jelly, packed to the rim with a fine blue micro glitter... upon my first wear of it I saw the blue micro glitter ONLY.  My second wear, under much closer inspection I realized that it actually has other colors of micro glitter, including red & green.  But like I said, the most obvious is the blue... it's so pretty & refreshing.  Application was easy, glitter went everywhere without an issue.  Not too thick or runny, I did have a bit of balding in some spots... perhaps it was just me.  This is as as opaque as I could get it after 4 coats.  Even with 4 you can still see a visible nail line.  But it isn't crazy obvious, so it's fine with me ;) Perhaps I'll try it was a white or nude base next time.  This was Day 2 of wear.  It's a little bit of a pain to remove (not as easy as a flat color, but not as much of a pain in the ass as full on glitter is).  As I mentioned I picked this baby up at Ulta for $14... problem is I saw a whole lot more colors that tickled my fancy... this is gonna be a problem... hope you enjoyed it. Ciao for now...

Pretty in Purple - Butter London ~ No More Waity, Katie

Good Evening!  Hope all is well in your neck of the woods... my neck of the woods has been disgustingly hot, hot, hot.  I'm really not a fan of the Summer. Even when you're naked you're hot - at least when you're cold you can make yourself warm.  Having to take the subway to & from work does not help my tolerance level for heat.  Yuck!  But ya gotta love NY!  Anywho, this is a quick swatch of Butter London's ~ No More Waity, Katie.  Apologies for not being able to clean up some of my fingers, this was done before a mad dash to pack my bags & pick up my Son from daycare.  But there's always time for a little swatch right? :)

Pretty Color - messy finger
This was done with 4 coats of No More Waity, Katie, over a Seche Base coat, topped with 1 coat of Gelous & 1 coat of Poshe.  NMWK is a really beautiful color, it's a grey lavender, with some beautiful light lavender glitter suspended in it.  I didn't have any issues with glitter moving as I applied the coats (AWESOME), they went on very smoothly & evenly & dried fairly quickly.  I used 4 coats to get to the opacity I desired.  I'm really drawn to Purples & this is certainly a shade of purple I had not possessed - until now... MUAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!  I scooped this Little Miss up at Ulta for $14.00 as part of my "Mini-Haul" a week or 2 ago & I'm so glad to call it mine.
