Butter London: The Black Knight

Hey all!

Sorry I haven't been posting lately, my son and I have been sick and I just haven't had the energy to do much.

Just a quick post today, I am going to let the pictures do the talking. This is Butter Londons The Black Knight. I am a sucker for black polishes with glitter, and this one definitely does not disappoint!

Quite a few pics here, as it was so hard to capture the sparkle!

Adore this polish! I can see myself using it quite a bit. ;)

Pitter Patter...

Yay!  Congratulations to Will and Kate (AKA the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge) on the birth of their baby boy! Can't wait to find out what the name is!

I have had a very special polish saved for this very occasion.. Pitter Patter from Butter London.   This gorgeous opaque purple shimmer is a limited edition lacquer created for the royal baby, so of course, I had to have it!  Its available in US only, but I was lucky enough to be involved in a group buy in my Aussie nails group, so quite a few of us managed to get a bottle.  It's still available to buy here.

I adore this shade of purple!  

For an accent nail I used Femme Fatale Edge of the Cosmos.. just cause it was sitting right by me on the table, and looked like it matched.  lol  This is my first Femme Fatale polish, and it definitely wont be my last last.  Stars, moons, purple.. its all good! This pic does not do it justice, it's much more holo-ey and sparkly in person.

Thanks for reading!

Dexter blood splatter nails

Yay, I'm so excited!  The new season of Dexter starts soon, and I cannot wait!  To celebrate, I have done a blood splatter mani.  My first attempt at this style, and while clean up was a bitch (I forgot to tape off my fingers lol), I am loving the look of it.  Will definitely do it again.   

I just used a straw.   Put a few blobs of polish onto a plastic plate, dip the end of straw into polish until it covered the hole then blow onto the nail.   I learnt quickly to just use short, hard blows otherwise I just ended up blowing the nail polish into big blobs..  lol  There is heaps of tutorials on YouTube.

The red polish is Butter Londons Pillar Box Red, which I got for free with this months issue of Instyle magazine for all you Aussie ladies.  :)    

The white is Ulta3's Lily White, and its your typical white, streaky polish.  Doubt I will use it for other than nail art, but it was only $2 so can't complain.  

Tomorrow starts the beginning of No Buy October.. I am getting out of control with my buying and untrieds, so I am hoping this will help me get through  of them.  Tomorrow is also the start of the Halloween Challenge, link to join up is n the post below.    :)
