2 coatsMariner is a very interesting color. I don't own anything quite like it. It's almost black, but there's a blue-green tint to it that adds some intrigue. The finish is also ultra shiny. If you're a fan of nearly black shades, this is a great one to...

2 coatsThis is my absolute favorite Butter London, so of course I had to include it in my swatch week. Marrow is a reddish purple with a fine silver shimmer. The application and pigmentation are flawless! The wear on this is great as well. I wore it for 3 days...

2 coatsThe Fully Monty is a gorgeous pale gold foil with extra, larger shimmer pieces to make it even more dazzling. It's a gold that will flatter most people because it isn't that icky, yellow gold that looks great on a total of...two people. The application was great!...

3 coatsMinger is a pumpkin orange, and I don't totally hate it. Orange, like pale blues, and I don't often see eye to eye. Minger is not as ostentatious as some oranges, so I guess that's why it seems more wearable to me. The application was kind of...

2 coatsPrimrose Hill Picnic is the perfect shade of pink for me. It's bright and happy without being obnoxiously so. Unfortunately, the formula makes me a sad panda. It was a little goopy and runny, and I got a couple bald patches with the second coat. It was...

2 coatsSuch a pretty neutral! I love the way it looks with my skin tone. I think it has some secret shimmer, but I don't quit remember. The formula was surprisingly awesome, too! This is one of my go-to palette cleansers. ...

Sag Harbor is one of the few pale blues that looks good on me. I think it's because of the grey tones in it. Plus, adding Today Was a Fairytale over it deepened the color a tiny bit and made it even more flattering. I really wish I...

My NYE giveaway is extended until the end of the month (12/31 at midnight). I just won't have any time to sift through all the entries until after the holidays, so I figured I would just give people more time to enter. Once the giveaway has ended, I'll...

This is the look I wore to see HPDHP1. Once again, super late. :] I thought it looked a little Mcdonald's-esque, so I added MAC Reflects Blackened Red to add a little magic. I had no time to take more photos though. Anyway, here's the look:I can't remember...

1 coat over AA Mount RoyalGalaxy Girl is amazing! I love this so much more than Space Cadet, which does not look good on me at all.  I especially love the pink flash in this. It's just so pretty!  I think I needed 3 coats for opacity when...

2 coatsGolds and I don't often get along, but Looks Like Rain, Dear is actually a shade I would wear out of the house. I think it's because it's not that icky orange shade of gold. Plus, the holo glitter really makes it special. The finish is a...

It's been a while since I've frankened anything, and it's been even longer since I've frankened anything I like. Well, I guess this is special because I want to put it over every polish I own! Of course, you may not love it if you're not a glitter...

3 coatsNot gonna lie, I'm not a huge fan of this on me. It kind of makes my hands look icky. This looks great on so many people! I'm jealous. Anyway, this is a beige with holo shimmer. The application was great, and I think I could have stopped at...
