Butter Red as Fire

Hello, Fireflies!

If you liked yesterday's post with the Double Take Ice Duo, you might also like today's post because I'm showing you the Double Take Fire Duo.

It starts with a wine-red called Rebel Fox.  I loved the gold shimmer in the bottle, but it's pretty shy on the nail.

It's a nice red for me, though.  I prefer darker reds.  This one isn't too vampy, but it isn't a traditional bright holiday red, either.

The topcoat in this duo is called Brass Monkey. (that funky monkey! Brass Monkey Junkie, that funky monkey! - points if you know what song that's from and who sang it.)

Brass Monkey is described as a copper opal fleck.  It's the same texture as Leccy from the Ice Duo - very chunky shards, like bits of foil.

And the bottle shot:  Butter London Rebel Fox and Brass Monkey.

I also recently picked up a newer Butter London called Brown Sugar.

This is an amazingly beautiful coppery-wine opaque glitter with gold shimmer.  I think this polish just skyrocketed into my top 10 faves.  Photos do not do it justice.

I wanted to see what Brass Monkey would look like on top.  It blended in more because of the gold shimmer.  Those chunky flakes do catch the light, though!

Are you loving the holiday trend of reddish brown/wine reds and glitter toppers?  I think I could wear Brown Sugar for a while and still love it.  Way to go, Butter London!
