The last polish I have to show you from Big Bang is Sunshine Superman.

3 coats

Deborah Lippmann Sunshine Superman is a super shimmery golden orange. It's really pretty, but I hate it on me. The color plus the finish are a little too garish. The application was a piece of cake with this one. No formula issues at all.

I know I said I was only going to get Petrol from Butter London's Holiday 2013 offerings, but this polish was just too pretty to pass up.

Butter London Bluecoat is a royal blue with blue-green shimmer. It is such a stunning color! The real star is the formula, though. It applied like a dream and was very pigmented. Also, no staining at all with this one, and I wore it for a couple days without a base coat. The only downside to this polish is it's only available in a duo with a less than desirable glitter topcoat. Hopefully Butter London will offer Bluecoat on its own someday.

Givenchy Beige Mousseline is a pinky beige creme. I love nudes like this because they work so much better with my skin tone than nudes with grey tones. The color is beautiful, but Beige Mousseline has an awful formula. This is surprising and
disappointing, since I've loved all the Givenchys I've tried until this
one. It's stringy, streaky, and really thick. Thinning didn't help much with application.



One thing I will say it that it self-levels quite well. I managed to get it to look normal by floating the brush and using very thick coats. If you like this color, please look elsewhere. Wet n Wild Private Viewing and Dior Incognito are along the same vein.



Onto Beaded Couture. So pretty, right?? I suck at applying nail apps, so I can't say whether these were easy to apply or not. I think if you like a design enough, they're worth looking into. The best thing about them is they're not nail polish based, so you can use them for accents and not worry about them drying out.

Deborah Lippmann Sweet Life is a mauvey nude creme. It instantly reminded me of Modern Love, so here's that comp.

3 coats Sweet Life, 2 coats Modern Love

They're close, but Modern Love is a bit darker and warmer than Sweet Life. I don't prefer one over the other, but if I was forced to pick, I'd choose Modern Love. It has a better formula, and it's a bit more flattering on me.

Zoya Stevie is a gorgeous purple that everyone should own. Not much else to say! The formula on all the Pixie Dusts I've tried so far has been really great. They dry quickly and are easy to remove. Pixie Dusts are still the only textureds I like.

OPI Miss You-niverse is a dusty eggplant creme that is perfect for the season. It is almost a one-coater, and the finish is so shiny and smooth. It's been a while since I've been impressed with an OPI shade, so I'm extra pleased with Miss You-niverse.



It stamps pretty well, too.
