Glitter Gradient, Navy and Pink!

I don't really have much of an introduction for this- I wanted to use my new Butter London glitter, but I didn't want to paint the whole nail.  This is what I came up with!

Fall Leaves on Cheeky Chops

Since I felt kinda weird wearing around these yellow nails, and I'm too cheap to take it off immediately, I decided to go forth with some fall inspired stamping!

I used Butter London's Cheeky Chops as a base since I'd swatched it previously, and stamped on top with a Bundle Monster design in red, orange and brown.  I like it, but I thought it was missing something- so I topped it with my matte topcoat, and I like it.

Swatch: Butter London Cheeky Chops

Well, this is definitely a yellow, and the brand/cost didn't change much about that.  The color is pretty, but very very similar to Sally Hansen's Lightening (which you can see here), though Lightening is a little bit more warm I think.  And Cheeky Chops still needed three coats (or maybe a 4th for good measure would've been nice) to go on opaque and you can still see all my gross nail ridges.  The good news is that, same as with Scoundrel, Cheeky Chops dried SO quickly- seriously, SO fast!  And I like yellows and I only have two or three in my collection, so I think this was a necessary purchase- I just think that I wouldn't buy it if it weren't on sale.  You can get similar yellows for a third of the price.

I'm sorry you had to see this

Purple and Orange Glitter Subtle-y Halloween Nails

Yesterday I showed off my new Butter London color, Scoundrel.  In celebration of my favorite holiday, I layered over Scoundrel with some Love & Beauty polish for a purple and orange Halloween color combo!  I love black and orange as traditional Halloween colors, but I love purple and orange together better, I think.

My First Butter London: Scoundrel

Last month I got an Ulta haul in the mail!  They were having some pretty sweet sales and I ended up getting three Butter London, three China Glaze and two of Ulta's polishes.  I just swatched my first one today.

Now I want you to reread that and tell me what's wrong with that statement.... I got my order a MONTH ago and am just now checking out my first one!  Ugh!  Internship is so time consuming (go figure, right?!)

Anyway, on with the color!




Pretty, right?!
