press sample
Today I have two polishes from the Butter LONDON Summer Holiday 2013 Collection. I was intrigued when I first saw the press release. Initially, the colors didn't seem like a summer bunch to me (no neon or primary colors like we've seen from most summer collections). But now I think the range is perfect…tan, turquoise, precious metals. It may not be backyard barbecues and Florida beaches…but it’s definitely Saint-Tropez.
Next is Bit Faker, a dense, full coverage bronze. Wow. This is really gorgeous. It was absolutely opaque in two coats. My camera freaked out a little. Isn't it amazing?
Because the fine glitter is so dense, I had to give the bottle a good shake mid-mani to prevent globbing. But the result is smooth and a topcoat makes it super sparkly and brings some gold out of the bronze.
Finally, these two polishes are perfect together, so I had to try some easy nail art. I taped off my Sunbaker mani in a triangle at the tip and used one coat of Bit Faker. I added topcoat and a small Essence gold bead at each point.
