Good morning!! So I didn't even realize I was on a search for the perfect silver holo until it occurred to me that Butter London's Dodgy Barnett, from their new fall/winter 2012 line, might be it. It's glossy, linear, and foolproof in application. And seriously, a gorgeous silver holo named after a bad hairdo? What's not to love?
Dodgy Barnett's linear holo is not super strong, but certainly not weak. It makes up for its strength in opacity and user friendliness. I applied my basecoat as usual, three coats of polish (two is fine, three makes it that much more dense), and a topcoat, which didn't dull the holo in any way. Dodgy Barnett is glossy without a topcoat, though, and doesn't become flat in the shade or indirect lighting. It doesn't pull, streak, or bald. It does give off beautiful, satisfying rainbows with minimal effort.
Butter London is sold at Ulta and on the Butter London website.
Thanks for reading! Carpe diem. :D
OMG, that second picture down is PERFECT! Looks beautiful. I love how you describe polishes, maybe you should look into that career:)
ReplyDeleteI KNOWWWW!! Is it bad to say I can't stop staring at my own photo? Well done, self.
DeleteAnd thank you so very much! What a lovely thing to say. <3
It's so fun when you can say "damn, now that's a good picture!". I can't say I feel that too often, but when I do, I keep going back to it and admiring it:) Give yourself a pat on the back.
DeleteLet me ooooh and aaaaah over that! So gorgeous! :-)

DeleteThis is one gorgeous holo! ^.^
ReplyDeleteThat it is. :)
DeleteGorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteRight?!
DeleteI absolutely love Butter London's holo polishes, they are the perfect amount of holo for me!
ReplyDeleteI do love the Laylas, I'm not going to lie. But the ease of application in these, combined with their appearance in the shade, trumps a super strong rainbow, for me.
DeleteSO gorgeous!! This is the perfect silver holo, I could stare at it forever!
ReplyDeleteI agree. ;)

ReplyDeleteYou know, I passed it up in the Ulta BL sale. I looked at it and some swatches ahead of time and it just didn't speak to me, but your pics have just changed my mind!! It's gorgeous!! Do I really need another silver holo??
ReplyDeleteYou do. This one's the best.
DeleteThis is a very pretty holo!!

DeleteStunning! I may cave and buy it...
