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.

China Glaze Trendsetter

I hope you are having a wonderful weekend so far! My family is hosting the annual Summer Driveway BBQ so we have been doing a lot of cleaning and cooking today. But today I have China Glaze's Trendsetter to show you!

This seems to be a shade that you either love or hate. I was interested in Trendsetter from the word go. I really love wearing it. I don't know if it suits my skin tone all that well but I appreciate the weirdness Trendsetter has to offer.

Trendsetter, when applied looks a little more khaki and turns slightly more yellowy when it dries. I really like the golden shimmer too, so fine. The formula is nice, mine tends to run on the thicker side of things but nothing a little bit of thinner can't fix! Great coverage.

I've read a lot of what people associate Trendsetter, mostly being poo or fungus. But I mean, if you think about it, you could associate just about any nail polish with a negative connotation. You can change that connotation with something more desirable and positive, something that you like. 

Just now thinking about why I like Trendsetter, it's might be because I am a huge lover of mustard and that's what comes to my mind first. I asked my sister what she thinks of it and she says it reminds her of clay. She loves to make things out of clay. Mum says it reminds her of curry powder, my Mum loves making different curries.

How do you feel about Trendsetter? What do you associate with this colour?
