Swatched: Butter London Wellies, Cotton Buds, and Giddy Kipped (Colour Clash Collection)

Today on the blog, we have a few colours from the recent butter London collection, Colour Clash. We picked our faves, and gave them a quick swatch. Butter London has consistently represented great quality polish for us, and what we've seen of this line does not disappoint! 

First up, we have Cotton Buds - a pure, creme white. Every nail artist knows that a good white is essential. The worst possible thing that can happen when trying to do a white base is streaking.  Luckily, this polish did not disappoint and gave a perfect creme white finish in two coats. This swatch is without topcoat, and as you can see the finish is still quite shiny. This will definitely make it in to some nail art in the future!


Next up we have Wellies, a dusty lime green that edges on the yellow side. Wellies (or rain boots) are essentials in London and we actually love how unique this colour is! Unfortunately, it was a bit on the patchy side for our taste even with three thin coats. However, we do like this colour and will work with it for some fun designs.


Finally, our last pick was Giddy Kipper. This polish is indigo-blue with a silver shimmer. We love this for fall. Can't. Get. Enough. The formula on this is perfection, and it definitely pulls for our favourite wear-alone shade. Two coats are really all you need with this polish - the formula is up to butter London standards! 


There are three other colours in this collection, Pimms (sunflower yellow creme), Cake Hole (bright pink creme), and Silly Billy (orange creme). We love this fun collection, and hope that Cotton Buds stays in the permanent line up. For an easy nail art look using these polishes, cheek out our instagram, @knailart!

Swatched: Rainbow Honey 199X Collection (Mint Flavor, Magic Cake, Tessie)

Today we have three polishes from the Rainbow Honey Summer of 199X (Part II) Collection! This two-part collection is half glitter bombs, and half pastel shimmers. We can't say no!

First up is Tessie, this is a lilac-y purple polish with blue shimmer. This swatch is two coats, and can we just say that this polish has the perfect formula for a shimmer! We love how this sparkles in the light.





Next up is this beautiful mint polish with silver shimmer, appropriately named Mint Flavor. If you have followed us for any length of time, you may know that Mint is perhaps our favourite pastel, The base colour for this polish is very similar to an ATF (all time fave) of ours, Essie's Mint Candy Apple. The shimmer gives this a nice summery feel in 2 coats and we definitely recommend.

Finally we have this neon glitter topper, Magic Cake. This glitter topper is a mix of pink, neon green, and bright blue glitter in hexagons and small squares. We are definitely going to be trying this out over black and white - the best part? This swatch is one coat. There is tons of glitter in this polish which is perfect for glitter addicts like us!
