Disco Biscuit

As is well known by many, the quality of polishes varies by brand. A majority of my collection consists of Milani, Kleancolor, and Sally Hansen which are lovely brands in their own rights. Each have some unique and beautiful colors that many people yearn for. Then you have brands like Essie, OPI, and China Glaze that run you a few dollars more a bottle and are likely the most polish popular brands. However, once you leave the $8/bottle range, I tend to tap out and wait for a miracle of a sale to happen so that I can purchase the highest end brands. One such brand is Butter London. I was lucky enough to have someone purchase this for me and when I opened the box yesterday to look at the color, it was love at first sight.

Meet Disco Biscuit, "a tropical hot-pink nail lacquer with an undercurrent of tiny iridescent glitter particles." Can we please talk about how great a name that is? I have no clue what it means but I think it's perfect. It's very possible that because the brand is in fact based out of London, my American self has yet to encounter the situation where that name would make any sense. Possibly a drug tripping reference in which seeing this color would be all the more exciting. Regardless the name, the color speaks for itself.
The formula of this is really great. This is about 2 coats with Seche Vite on top. 
The best way to describe this polish? Is magical bubblegum fairies dancing on my fingertips sufficient? :D

Happy Polishing.

It's Wednesday!...I mean Monday

Well, I don't know how to just let things be...so! I've added a fun new touch to the Storm polish I did earlier. I slapped on some Zoya Wednesday and covered it in the lovely China Glaze Luxe and Lush and voila! MAGIC. PRINCESS. MERMAID. HAPPINESS.




Happy Polishing.

Zoya, you have Stormed into my heart...

I had fully intended and planned on doing some new fun design tonight or starting on one of the challenge chains...however...Zoya Storm happened.


Oh. My. Goodness-gracious. After Hurricane Sandy, Zoya ran a promotion where you would get Storm from their new 2012 Ornate Collection for free with purchase of any other item (aside from their spoons). I ended up getting Wednesday and Natalie to add to my collection, but I was most excited for Storm. And boy oh boy, was I right to be excited! I WISH my camera had the capabilities of capturing the amazeballsness of this amazeballs polish. But here's my try!



Such sparkly goodness all wrapped up in one bottle. The concentration of diamond holographic glitter is absolutely perfect.


This is roughly two coats of Storm with a coat of Seche Vite to pull it all together (though this is already a fairly smooth and shiny polish on it's own). 


Zoya describes this polish as "elegant, powerful and versatile" and I could NOT agree more!!

Happy Polishing.
