Butter London Bobby Dazzler

Good morning! I got a bunch of nail mail yesterday, and today I'm suppose to be getting several packages of clothes, so it's shaping up to be quite a nice two days lol. :-)

Today I've got another of the polishes from the Butter London Summer Holiday 2013 Collection to share with you. Bobby Dazzler is a silver metallic that dries to a mirror-like chrome finish.

Ah, the formula on this is soooo good! It goes onto the nails smoothly and evenly, but with a lot of pigmentation. In fact, I needed just one coat for total opaque coverage and that's what you see in the swatches! You'll always see some streaks with a finish like this, but it's as little as I could expect, and they mostly disappear once the polish is dry.

There's a softness to this silver; it's not as harsh and cold as some silvers can be. I don't generally wear silver metallics because they tend to clash with my skin tone, but this color is quite flattering. I'm happy I've finally found a silver that works for me. :-)

You can find Bobby Dazzler on butterlondon.com and at select retailers such as Nordstrom and Ulta for $15 for 0.4 fl oz.

OPI Moonraker

Today, I've got another personal favorite from OPI's Skyfall Collection to share with you. Moonraker is a bluish gray metallic that dries to a fascinating chrome finish.

I love this polish, both for its color and for its chrome finish. For me, this is the first gray I've ever worn that actually looks good against my skintone, and I'm totally thrilled! I think it's due to the blue tint, which helps to soften the gray and make it more wearable. I've had Moonraker on for the past five days, and I'm still totally digging it. :-)

This polish has a somewhat tricky formula. If you don't let each coat dry for at least 5 minutes before applying the next one, you will see a streaky mess. But even if you mess up and do that (which I did), once it dries, most of the mistakes even out and become almost imperceptible. It applies initially as a metallic, but dries to a stunning chrome finish, and I needed just two thin coats for opacity.

You can find Moonraker at your local nail salons and beauty stores for $8.50 for 0.5 fl oz.
