NOTD: Butter London 'Earl Grey'

Today's nail of the day is 'Earl Grey' by Butter London. This metallic gray has some pretty steely blue undertones that make it so fitting for this dreary NYC winter we're having. I like how smooth the application was on this nail polish (1 coat achieved full opacity) but it did begin chipping at my nail beds in just one day of wear.

Butter London is one of the more expensive nail polish brands out there at $15 a bottle, so it can be rather disappointing when the formula isn't quite up to snuff. I did enjoy this color immensely, however I think I can find a color dupe in a cheaper brand that won't chip so quickly!

NOTD: Butter London 'Goss'

Today's nail of the day is Butter London's 'Goss' nail polish. It is a rose gold color that leans a little coppery in tone and I must say this is my favorite metallic polish I have ever worn. I tend to stay away from metallics since I tend to get ridges in my nails and metallic polishes can emphasize the ridges. It's not a cute look at all, but this polish managed to camouflage the ridges more than normal metallics do. 
This polish was also great because it was perfectly opaque in only 1 coat. It dried super fast and somehow the color hid application mistakes quite well so I think this would be a great out the door polish to apply on the run!

Butter London polishes are a luxury polish brand coming in at $15 a bottle. Try this color out if you're looking for a wearable and not distracting metallic rosey hue to sport on your nails this season!
