Its been a busy couple of days! I actually had these nails done on Friday, but just haven't had a chance to sit down and get them posted. I used another Butter London color, called Disco Biscuit. Its a bright pink jelly, with really pretty iridescent blue shimmer.Its super pretty in the bottle . . . unfortunately, I don't think it translated too well at least onto my nails. I did 3 (or 4, I can't remember exactly) coats for this manicure. The first picture was without a top coat . . . dried pretty matte, and didn't come close to the bottle color.
This is with a top coat of Seche Vite - much prettier, but some visible nail line. I loved the concept of the color, but the jelliness of this polish probably will lead me to layer it over another bright pink the next time I wear it.
I apologize for my picture taking skills. I obviously need some more practice . . or a different camera . . . or different lighting . . . or something. Its pretty close to real life, but while you can see the shimmer, you can't really tell that its honestly a blue shimmer. The formula on this one wasn't as good, I didn't think, as the formula on Tea and Toast - it wasn't terrible, just didn't flow onto the nail nearly as smoothly. It probably has something to do with the amount of shimmer in the bottle - there's a ton. I will say, if I can find the right layering pink for this, this will be STUNNING in the sunlight.
