butter LONDON Spring/Summer 2012 Swatches

Hallo!

butter LONDON (I don’t know why I am always compelled to write it the way they have it on their bottles) has a new spring/summer collection out featuring five new shades!

I checked out four of the five (the one missing is Slapper, a bright teal creme) and I really like them! Interesting colors, not very common and really good formula for all.

Trout Pout

Trout Pout is a pale cantaloupe/coral creme. Honestly I didn’t think much of this one in the bottle but absolutely love it on my nails. It’s not pink, It’s not peach. It’s not orange. It’s not coral. It’s a perfect mix of them all and super spring-like and flattering. Great formula, just two coats. I adore it.

Color Club Blossoming for Spring 2012 Swatches & Review

 

Color Club Blossoming Color Club Blossoming for Spring 2012 Swatches & Review

Color Club Blossoming is a spring 2012 collection that reflects the colors of budding flowers. It also includes a polish called Diamond Drops, meant to mimic the look of dewy rain drops on petals.

Aside from Diamond Drops, which is a silver holographic flake, the five shades are all creme finishes. I did have some minor issues with streakiness with a few of these and most took three coats to get completely even and covered.

Blushing Rose

Blushing Rose is a pale pink shade. Not quite a pastel, but close. It’s a really pretty shiny color, but not without some problems. It applied very streaky at first, and even with three coats there are some spots not completely covered as much as I would like.

a England The Legends a England The Legends Collection Swatches & Review

a England has a new collection out called The Legends that includes seven new colors. I don’t know about you but I am super excited about them!

This collection was inspired by the tale of Saint George and the Dragon.

The colors include:

  • Saint George – Teal holographic
  • Dragon – Green holographic
  • Princess Sabra – Gold holographic
  • Order of the Garter – Royal blue glass fleck
  • Bridal Veil – Black holographic
  • Ascalon – Grey holographic
  • Princess Tears – Lilac/grey holographic

The formula with all of the ones I tried was most excellent. They are buttery, smooth, so easy to apply and perfect in just two coats. They’re very holographic and shiny as well. Just perfection!

China Glaze Electropop Collection for Spring 2012 Swatches & Review

Welcome to the colorful world of China Glaze Electropop! Electropop is their new 12-piece color saturated collection for spring 2012.

Nearly all the colors in this collection are cremes with the exception of two shimmers and one glitter. But that’s not to say they’re boring.

The formula was really great with nearly all of them. They seemed to apply a bit sheer and I kept thinking I would need three coats, but nearly all were just perfect with two.
