Now, I've been wanting to try this polish for a long time, but I couldn't justify spending the full price ($15!) on a bottle of nail polish. So, of course I jumped at the chance to try it for free.
The polish I got was a pretty silver metallic called Diamond Geezer. That weekend I painted my nails with it and was quite surprised with how long the polish lasted. I am a teacher and work with my hands, so nail polish usually only lasts 1 or 2 days without chipping. This polish lasted a solid three days without chipping. I was thrilled.
butter LONDON was on sale this Friday (3/15) at Ulta, so I took the plunge and purchased two more bottles: No More Waity, Katie (a pretty grey with purple sparkles) and Artful Dodger (a pretty teal green). While I was there I spoke with a butter LONDON representative who talked me into the Top and Tails kit that contains a base coat and quick drying topcoat.
This weekend I painted my nails using the base and top coat along with No More Waity, Katie. I was incredibly disappointed to see how fast this coat chipped. The first full day I had it on it chipped on many nails. I wondered, was it the formula of the sparkle polish? Was it the base coat or top coat?
So, I decided to try an experiment. I painted my nails tonight with Artful Dodger and Diamond Geezer. On my left had I didn't use the base coat and on my right hand I did. I will post my results here in a few days. Will one hand last longer than the other? It will be interesting to see!
