China Glaze Fast Track && butter LONDON Tart With A Hart

Hi!

Today I have a manicure using two different colors, Fast Track by China Glaze and Tart With A Hart by butter London.

Fast Track is a part of the Hunger Games collection. It's a beige filled with tons of gold microglitter! It was surprisingly opaque in two coats and application was amazing. It was much better than others in the collection, but then again... it wasn't one of the metallic ones. None the less, it was still a great neutral color!

Tart With A Hart was part of the 2011 holiday collection. It's a semi-clear base filled with tons and tons of gold microglitter. Also, it has bigger glitters that shine a bunch of different colors when they hit the light. ALSO, if you look super close, there's even black microglitter in it! This one is a stunner for sure. When we saw it at Nordstroms, we weren't sure if it would be opaque or not, so my sister sacrificed her manicure and we tested it out. By three coats, Tart With A Hart worked great alone! It's a very nice glitter! Application was good for a glitter and it was a little gritty, but it was nothing a top coat can't fix.

Take a look!

Next, I used some scotch tape to put little triangles of Tart With A Hart on the nails with Fast Track.

Next time I do something with Tart With A Hart, I'll probably pair it with a different color. Maybe pink? But nonetheless the overall look was good enough for me and I got a lot of compliments on it!

What do you guys think?

Hello!

Today's post isn't super long, it's butter London Knackered over black.

We used two coats of China Glaze's Liquid Leather, one coat of Knackered, and then a coat of seche vite.

Over a dark base, Knackered's pinker hues are really noticeable! It was extremely beautiful in person and the pictures are good, but they could be better. I won't describe Knackered in detail here, but you can see my thoughts on it here!

Take a look at Knackered over Liquid Leather!

These pictures were all in sunlight. What do you think? Any Knackered fans yet? I'm one!!

Hello hello!
I know I kind of suck at posting regularly. I really am sorry! I do have a busy life and this week was pretty hectic. I've been working A LOT. I had a closing shift yesterday and I was planning on coming home and making a post... but that didn't happen. Not only was I called into work three and a half hours early... I didn't get off of work until 3 AM. Yes. THREE IN THE MORNING. So I had a thirteen hour shift... I was miserable. Today they ended up letting me off early because I was zombie like and talking to myself. I may have over exaggerated a bit on acting like a zombie ;) but I'm home and happy and blogging now!

So. I. ABSOLUTELY. LOVE. THIS. POLISH.
butter LONDON Knackered.

Love. LOVE. love. LoVe. lOvE. LOOOOOOVE. 

I don't even know how to describe this polish ... butter LONDON described it as "a sheer, twinkling oyster shade flecked with micro glitter particles." Yeah. I can see that, but I feel like it's so much more! This is definitely a duochrome polish and it flashes many different colors in different lighting including blue-greens, pink, purple, silver, and blue. Also, the littler glitters in the polish all twinkle like a rainbow! Every time I look at my nails I'm like ooooOOoooOoooOoOoO *drool*. 

Oh and, I have a watch with a black mother of pearl face, this polish reminds me of it!

Take a look!

These are all inside with artificial lighting. Excuse my poor cuticles. See the green on the sides of my nails? And look at the little sparkles making a rainbow!

Look at all that green!

Can y'all see that pink a little bit? It shows up the best in lower lighting.

Application for this was great. It went on like butter (dohoho). It was super sheer and I used three coats.

Now here are some pictures in the sun!

This picture shows the silver and blue really well!

Here you can see the purple! Purple is my favorite color <3

Mmm I see a lot of blue/purple here!

Lovely, right?

This polish was a must have the minute I saw it. I got it at Nordstroms for $14 and it was part of butter LONDON's new spring/summer collection. What do you guys think? Next I'm going to try this polish over black. I saw that combination and it looks dreamy!
