| China Glaze - Celtic Sun |
Celtic Sun -I'm shocked but I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what took me so long to fall in love with neons, but I did and it is a love like no other. I started with neons that I thought were more "normal" (pink, coral, aqua). Then I finally jumped in the deep end with highlighter yellow....fun. As I have mentioned before, the other CG bright yellow I own is awful in comparison to this awesomeness. As with all other neons, I started with a coat of an opaque white. Not so typically with neons, I decided to use Seche Vote as a top coat and, like I expected, it did darken the color making the highlighter yellow have a neat greenish cast that I really ended up liking.
I have been lusting after a couple of Butter London polishes for quite some time. Every time I passed them in Ulta I would always pick them up and debate whether they were worth the $14 and each time I would put them back, not quite being able to justify adding at least $28 to my already ridiculously high Ulta bill (I think I could single-handedly keep an Ulta open in Southwest Michigan). But thankfully the Boy pays attention and got me my two most wanted for my bday: Henley Regatta and Disco Biscuit. While I do like the colors, I don't feel like the quality is as high as I would have expected for a polish that is more expensive for less product than other "salon" quality polishes ($14 for 11ml vs $8 for 15ml).

| Ooooooo Glitter!!!!!!!!!!! |
Henley Regatta - I wanted to show a couple different facets of this polish. The first picture makes the polish look grainy, which it isn't, although it is very glittery. That's what the second photo is for, I wanted to show the multi-colored glitters. What I loved about this polish was the main aqua glitter with all the turquoise/teal/royal blue/silver glitter dispersed throughout. What I didn't love was the application, the problem was that this polish is really just multi-glitter in a clear base so each layer is fairly sheer. When I wear this again I will definitely start with a layer of an aqua polish (prob one mentioned in a previous post) and then layer this glitter over top. The pictures above are 3 layers with a top coat, and then I wasn't satisfied so I did another layer, again with a top coat. I really did love looking at this shimmer in the sun, I'll just have to work with the polish differently next time.

| Butter London - Disco Biscuit |
Disco Biscuit - For so long I only wore pink and red nail polishes, then I would only wear anything but. Now, with all the great summer neon and polishes like this, I'm slowly starting to get back into pinks. I love the subtle blue glitters/shimmer. I have to say this is a really pretty color, but I hate that it was so sheer. I think the above pic is 3 coats and you can still see my nail lines. And another strike against DB is that it chipped super fast. Sad :(
Based on my Butter London experience I don't know that I will be purchasing many more, unless there happens to be another color that I just can't stop picking up.
