British Racing Buttah

It's amazing how quickly I went from limiting myself to polish under $5 to ..well, more expensive.  At $14.50 a pop, Butter London is one of the most expensive polishes I've purchased.  When Ulta has a coupon, it usually excludes Butter London.  So when Beauty.com had a friends and family 20% off sale, and it included EVERYTHING on the site, I took advantage to buy a few BL lemmings.

I couldn't wait to try this one on - BL British Racing Green.  I love these emerald green colors.

I had a little trouble getting a smooth cuticle line with this polish.  The first coat was a little stubborn with me, but the second coat was much easier.  This is two coats, no topcoat.

I can't remember which blog asked this, but they wanted to know what kind of polish you would create if you could, and I realized that I would like a dark green holo.  So, I tried to create my own version by layering China Glaze Fairy Dust over the BL.  Not a linear effect, for sure, but the holo micro glitter in the  ChG does give the mani depth and a beautiful sparkle.

I couldn't stop looking at my nails.  Driving in car was the worst - my hands on the steering wheel kept distracting me from the road!  This polish needs a warning label.
