Mini Nail Polish Haul & Swatches

Hey guys,

Hope you've all had a good weekend :)

Apparently I figured that my nail polish collection was clearly not big enough this weekend and decided to add 3 more bottles to it haha

CG White on White, Butter London Fash Pack, CG Gussied Up Green

Yesterday while visiting Robbie's vet, which is conveniently located across the road from a beauty and hair supplies store I decided to check out the China Glaze stand to see if any colours caught me eye. Three did although I managed to contain myself to just two. 

They are White on White;



And Gussied Up Green. (The one I left behind was a grey colour called Recycle)


The third was added last night when my friend and I hit the town for some drinks. Her feet were hurting so we decided to pop into the chemist for some party feet and when we did I stumbled across a Butter London display! Pure gold...and as I had already had a couple the price tag of $19.95 a bottle didn't stop me from picking up this pretty brown colour called Fash Pack.



I love white polish and I already own the Revlon one but I hate the formula, it always bubbles on me. So  I thought I would see how the China Glaze one held up. It didn't bubble so thats a plus but I will have to see with a full manicure to see what it's really like.

Gussied Up Green is an amazing colour. It has so many duo-chromes its a tad ridiculous....blue....purple ....brown.. everything. That's what drew me first to this colour. The bottle is just so reflective and its a gorgeous shade of emerald green which reminds me of MAC's Humid eyeshadow. 

Fash Pack is a beautiful shade of light brown with a bit of taupey-ness to it. It also has very fine gold shimmers in it which adds a layer of depth to the polish. This is my first Butter London polish as I didn't know they were sold here in Oz. I quite like the formula but am not very happy with the brush, it's just too short for my liking. Below you can see it compared to the China Glaze wand. However, I do love the packaging of this polish, it's just so damn cute and stylish.

And here are the swatches :) All are two coats of polish without a top coat.

Do you guys own any of these polishes? What do you think? Have you tried Butter London?
