butterLONDON Tart with a Heart - Dressing Table Set

The first I'm going to show you from the Dressing Table set from butterLONDON is Tart with a Heart. It's a lovely and amazing pinky gold chunky glitter. It has an amazing amount of stuff going on in it.

Yeah, OK, it's sheer. I know, I don't like sheers, but really this should be over something else. I am not sure it really matters what for you won't be looking at it. Just in this swatch alone you can see pink, blue, purple, gold, green, teal...I bet if you keep looking at it, you'll see even more.
This is one coat. It would work very well as a top coat.

You can see here how dense the glitter is and that it's all different shapes and probably sizes, actually. It's hard to tell because there is so much of it.

This is a weird shot, I know but I wanted you to be able to see how dense the glitter is. It's blurry, which shows the sparkle, but you can see what I'm trying to show you. This is basically a bunch of really pretty tiny glitter held together with some clear pinkish lacquer.

OK, two coats. You could do this alone if you wanted. Probably three coats would get you a fairly opaque cover. I like this, though. Even though it's sheer. It's so pretty. It's like fireworks!

I think the camera was blinded by the bling.

Ehhhhh, I'd like a base coat under this, I think. I don't like nail lines. This is pretty and you could do it, but I think I'd prefer this as a top coat.

Lots of glitter!
This was easy to apply too, for a glitter. It's chunky, you have to pay attention, and this won't dry smooth. That would be almost too much to hope for. It needs a good top coat over it to make it smooth.

I'm so glad I got this shot. It is showing the crystal quality of this. It looks like I dipped my finger in some kind of decorator sugar. I love this. It's like a stained glass window or something.

OK, last one. This is just another shot at how gorgeous this is. You can't see much pink in this and there really isn't much to be had. Just a hint is all. That's really all you need. You wouldn't be looking at the pink anyways.

How can you not have Happy Talons with something like this in the world?

Ozotic 528

I only bought two of the Ozotics. They're on the pricey side and I've spent too much lately so, as you guys always hear, I'm on a buying hiatus!!! Strict No Buy! Well, one exception for the Rescue Beauty Lounge pre-sale of Bring it Backs, but that is IT!
But I digress yet again.

528 is a green and blue sparkle machine. It is really incredible to look at and more fun to wear!

Here's a preview of what you're in for. Swatch heavy again. This time I have some from the best swatch lighting in the world: my desk.

These come, incidentally, in these great rectangular bottles, which are easy to store, easy to hold and give you lots of bottle area to admire the color. Like.

See how this almost ombres down in color? It does that on the nail as well. You can see it here. You might want to click on this swatch to enlarge it.

The label shot. Kind of have to respect a company that doesn't feel the need to try for your attention with catchy and goofy names. As fun as the names are, it's kind of nice they let the polishes speak for themselves.

Another shot to let you see the bottle, but if you look at the middle finger here, you can see what this does quite well. It starts with a pinky fuschia, goes to blues, then a hint of purple and then green. Cool..

This shows it pretty well again. Even though the pose is different the color order is somehow the same. These play in the light.

Blurry shot to show the sparkle.

I loved this one, in case you can't tell.

These are all taken in sort of normal lighting. Just a lamp.

You can see here that the sparkle does cause some texture on the nail, but it's nothing you can't cure with a top coat. I don't think these had top coat on at the time the swatches were taken.

And now the desk shots!!! See how this lights up? Imagine the sun! I would have liked to have got you a sunlight swatch but that would have required the sun and I haven't seen it in days.

The only problem is that the flash only shows the green, but as the green wasn't all that cooperative before, is that really so bad?

Just to show another angle.

Last one!


This was over BB Couture Cash Black. The recommendation is to put these Ozotics over black because you'd never achieve a real density with doing so. I do wonder how this would do over say, Rescue Beauty Lounge Recycle. Maybe I will have to try that one day!

I believe this manicure was 2 coats of Ozotic, which is where that heavy density of sparkle comes from but I would not swear to it. It's been a little while since I wore this.

Oh wait. There is another swatch!

OOO, the best for last!

Happy Talons!
