Disney Inspired Nails


My school recently took some of our students to Disneyland.  I LOVE Disneyland and haven't been in a long time since I don't have an annual pass anymore.  I had a little time on my hands the day before we left, and decided to try some nail art.  I am usually terrible at nail art, and so I don't do it often.  I liked how this turned out (even though it took way too long to do).

I will try doing more nail art to get some practice in.  What do you guys think of this manicure?

butter LONDON - Lady Muck

Here is Lady Muck.  About a month after I first got this color a year ago, I regretted it.  I just didn't like the color as much as I thought I would.  I haven't worn this since the first time I tried it, and I thought I'd give it another chance.  I am happy to report that I have a new found love for Lady Muck.  It is a dusty light blue with silver/grey shimmer.  I am wearing two coats here.


I really like this color for spring.  It has a little pop of color without being too overwhelming.





One of my favorite thing about butter LONDON polishes is that they have incredible wear time.  Lady Muck is no exception to that.

Holographic Teal Combo

I recently got Butter London's Henley Regatta in a gift set and I've wanted to use it, but never found the right time.  I picked out Zoya's Zuza to paint my nails with and as I got done with my second coat, I quickly grabbed Henley Regatta.  I was just going to use it for an accent nail, but I loved it so much, I used it all all 10.  :)  I used two coats of Zoya's Zuza which is an silvery/pearly iridescent teal and two coats of Henley Regatta which is a teal/green/blue glitter by Butter London.  I LOVE the way this sparkles in the sun.  It reminds me of a mermaid's tail.  I can't wait to wear this combo more in the Spring!











What are your favorite combos?

Exclusive Butter London Polish - Two Fingered Salute

Wowza.  I have been hoping I'd get this polish one day.  Nordstrom's was having a buy two get one free sale after Christmas on their Butter London polishes.  If you don't know, Two Fingered Salute is a Nordstrom's exclusive color.  It is GORGEOUS!  It is a dusty robin's egg blue/green with copper glittery flecks.  There are moments when my manicure hits the light at just the right point and I am mesmerized.  This is probably one of my favorite polishes just because it is so incredibly unique.  This is two coats and it is opaque at that point.  It was hard to photograph this polish to get the copper flecks to stand out.  I apologize for some bad pictures, but I was trying really hard to get you all a good idea of what this polish really looks like in person.

Butter London - Shag

 This is Butter London's Shag.  It is a stunning bronze-y copper-y reddish brown.  Crazy discription right!?  That's exactly what it is though!  The only other thing I can think of that is close is the Crayola 'burt sienna' crayon.  It is the perfect color for fall; not quite red, but not quite brown either and a little bit of metallic quality.  I was afraid it wouldn't go with a lot of outfits I own, but quite the contrary!  I think I will be wearing this often for the next few months.  I put on two coats (per usual).  




What are your 'go to' Fall polishes?
