Happy Monday! Did you enjoy your weekend? I lost the night time game with LO and ended up falling asleep early both weekend nights. I lost a lot of swatching time but I probably needed the recharge. In other news, out of curiosity I started checking out the #extremecouponers on instagram and have been hooked by their incredible hauls. I went out on Sunday and did some couponing myself, and managed to score a $35 dollar haul at CVS for less than $1 after Extra Bucks. Couponing is no joke! Hopefully this won't turn into hoarding.
I decided to go with an untried languishing in my drawers for my St Patrick Day mani, and pulled out Butter London Swinger, a sparkling microglitter polish of chartreuse green with darker green hex glitters. I used three semi sticky coats to build up opacity, all the while trying to hold my breath from the overpowering stinky fumes. It dried to a slight gritty finish so I used two layers of top coat to smooth it down.
The stinky smell seems to linger on the nail after it has dried, so I'm not sure if I'm willing to keep this in my drawer. I love the overall glitter effect, it's like a green disco ball exploded on my nails. It's so incredibly sparkly. To accent for St Paddy's day, I painted a quick four leaf clover on my ring finger with Hits Polish Enchanted Evergreen.
Don't forgot to wear your green today! No one likes to get pinched.

I'm glad to hear you got some good sleep over the weekend! I don't know how you do everything you do and swatch too. As much as I love your posts I'm glad you let them go when you need to, or when LO wins the night time game. *lol* See, she's actually looking out for your welfare... right!
ReplyDeleteThis polish has always seemed unusual to me with it's combination of chartreuse and spring green. Your photos show a nice balance of the two colors but in person does one win out over the other?
This is a gorgeous mani and so perfect for St. Patrick's Day! Swinger is so pretty. I love how shimmery it is.
