Swatch: GOSH - Metallic Blue

Hi ladies! I have another swatch post for you today in the form of GOSH - Metallic Blue. This is another GOSH polish I found in the clearance bin in my local Superdrug for £2! I'd heard it was good for stamping with, which I am yet to try, but I thought the colour itself was beautiful too. Metallic Blue is well, blue. In natural lighting it shows undertones of silver, but when in direct sunlight, the blue is a lot more prominent. It dries to a foil finish and is almost reflective which I think adds to the overall beauty of the polish! Unfortunately, I think this polish is discontinued, but if you have a Superdrug local to you, I suggest going to take a look in the clearance (if they have one) and see if you can find more gems like this! The only downside to clearance polishes are the HUGE stickers they attach to them, absolute nightmare to get off I tell you!

It's fair to say I'm a pretty big fan of GOSH and their formula, they're really pigmented and dry in a reasonable amount of time, there's nothing I hate more than polishes that need a lot of coats and also take ages to dry! But doesn't everyone?

Swatch: Butter London - The Black Knight

Hi ladies! I know I haven't actually posted a swatch in a while, truth is I was going to take a hiatus, but I missed it a lot! So I'm back with a vengeance and I WILL post more frequently, I promise. I'm also going for a new layout with my posts, I want to make it a lot simpler to read and also shorter. When I have my photos to the left and text next to it, I feel obliged to fill the entire space with words, but sometimes I don't even have that much to talk about. Anyway, enough rambling, let's get into the post.

Today I have for you another newcomer to my blog, Butter London! The Black Knight was one of the polishes I was sent by Emily in a mini swap package after I moaned how much I've been lusting after it! The Black Knight is a sheer, black base packed with blue, red, pink and purple glitter. To save time and polish, I layered 2 coats of The Black Knight over Essie - Licorice. I didn't have too many problems with the application, I did notice the glitter clump in a couple places, but I think that was a lot to do with the amount of polish I had on my brush!

Crappy bottle shot.
