Butter London Lillibet's Jubilee

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Queen's accession to the throne, Butter London released Lillibet's Jubilee. Lillibet's Jubilee is a silver foil with hints of lavender and tiny holographic particles. Don't let the word holographic get you too excited, this is a beautiful polish but it isn't what I consider a holo by any means. It has an insane sparkle that is almost blinding under the sun but it doesn't give off the rainbow effect you'd see in a true holo. 

I have three thin coats on with one coat of Seche Vite. Application was like a dream, just like Butter Londons usually are. I recommend this polish even though it's not a real holo! 

I showed this on Fish Egg Friday but here it is again!

P.S. I'm almost ready to tell you what my surprise is! Stay tuned!! ;)

Fish Egg Friday

As I write this, I have 52 minutes left of Friday which means this counts, right? I've been wanting to do a Fish Egg Manicure ever since I saw the first one (I can't remember which one it was). I have been so busy swatching Zoya's new collection (swatches coming soon) that I just haven't gotten around to it. Then I saw this http://prettydigits.blogspot.com/2012/04/i-just-received-this-email-it-has-come.html?m=1. I don't have anything kind to say about this situation but I will pass this little jem along:

I thought that was pretty hilarious and I feel a little bad for Ciate because I highly doubt their Caviar manicure trademarking and product line is going to have much success. It's ok, Fish Egg Manis are far superior and much cheaper. Here is mine:

You probably recognize the stunning Charla by Zoya. It's one of my favorite Zoyas, it reminds me of the ocean or a mermaid's tail. The microbeads/fish eggs came from a random Bundle Monster wheel I had stuffed in a drawer. There were just enough for one nail but that's all I needed. I'm quite proud of this manicure, I'm even going to wear it for more than one day. *gasp* My camera doesn't like sparkle but let me tell you, it is blinding. Ok, I exaggerate but it is gorgeous! ;)

Oh, by the way this idea came from Dashing Diva which can be read about on this blog post from February 2011:  http://thepolishexchange.blogspot.com/2011/02/caviar-nails-by-dashing-diva-at-cushnie.html. 

Before I post this I must show you my nail fail. Here is my first attempt at the Fish Egg Mani:

This is Butter London Lillibet's Jubilee which just came out this week I think. I'll post more about that later. The microbeads were from Sally's and were just too big and I felt like an alien. 

What do you think about this look? It isn't practical and will probably fall apart by tomorrow but it's great for a night out. Thanks for reading everyone!!
