Nail Art: White 'n Blue

 Today I've got Daring Digit's Snowed In along with Butter London's Sprog! Snowed In is a white crelly with varying shades and sizes of blue glitters. Sprog is a gorgeous periwinkle creme. Sprog is used on the ring finger, topped with three different sized rhinestones.

BL Bumster vs. SOPI Neutral Beauty

To follow on from yesterday's post of Neutral Beauty, today I have a comparison against Butter London's Bumster! Two coats of each, both fantastic formula.

See what I mean about having just the little bit more contrast? While both colours are beautiful on their own, I much prefer Bumster against my skintone.

Butter London Bumster

I did it. I finally found a Butter London I wanted to spend money on. Butter Londons cost $31 or thereabouts in New Zealand. I've looked at their stand a few times but never found anything super special. Then I saw Bumster. I have been looking for a muted mustard yellow for so long!

Before committing to such a large purchase, I googled reviews on my Mums phone and found that it was a good polish formula wise, most people were just thrown off by the colour. Calling it baby poo etc. But when you are actively looking for a muted mustard, it's a different story.

Butter Londons and Chanel seem to have the same brush and formula goin' on. It was incredibly smooth and gave close to 100% coverage on the first coat. I love Bumster to pieces.

This was my manicure over Christmas, not very festive but I thoroughly enjoyed wearing it! I used OPI Samoan Sand for the moons. I also used Liquid Palisade to create the moon shapes.

Just a little bit of history to Bumster, it was released in a Alexander McQueen themed collection and was named after the place Alex wore his pants I think. Something like that.
