Bourbon-N-Bubbles: All That Glitters is... Grey.

In this months issue of Women's Health, grey nail polishes were featured in Fifty Shades of Grey. While many of these colors were dark and perfect for the cloudy winter weather the Mid-Atlantic states are being tortured by, I chose to wear two glittery shades. Much more uplifting and festive - making the chilly days and freezing nights more bearable!

Butter London's Dodgy Barnett. A highly holographic lacquer in a classic shade that blurs the line between grey and silver.

Personally... not in love. It was very pretty, and as seen in the picture below, the color did have a beautiful and eye-catching sparkle (I did receive quite a few comments...), BUT it was too sheer. I like more coverage (see sheerness on ring finger... tip visible!). On the plus side, the shimmer effect was great without being thick giving it longer wear without chips.

Butter London's Fairy Cake. Full coverage, silvery, multi-colour iridescent glitter suspended in a light grey base.

LOVED the effect of this nail polish. The glitter was amazing. Very fun for a night out... a little wild for the work day. Unlike Dodgy Barnett however this polish was THICK with glitter! While one was too thick, the other was too thin, and I couldn't land the perfect coverage on either. I feel like the Goldilocks of silver & grey glitter! I couldn't get good tip coverage, and the polish chipped within two days. Fortunately for me, by then I was ready for a change-up.
