Nails I Love
BUTTER
LONDON – The Black Knight
Hi Goddesses
It’s been a
BAAAAAAADDDD day in CrumpetLand. I am in
a bit of a foul mood. I have been
agitated by all sorts of nimcompoops and now I get home and find that the
cauldron of soup I made last night has gone off. Marvellous.
Arrrggghhh. So let me distract myself with this, The
Black Knight, which was pretty much love at first sight when I saw the promo
pics. Purpley and glittery?? Hello!
Annoyingly, this is only available in the US, so I had to rely on a
lovely friend to acquire it for me.
She finally arrived
at the weekend, and she was the first of this weekend’s nail mail to make it to
my nails and, well, I’m a little torn.
She’s beautiful, but do I love her ?
I’m not sure.
Firstly, she’s not
as purple as I thought. All her crazy
glitter sits in a black jelly base, and I think this one thing makes all the
difference in the world for me. Just
changing that base colour would have quadrupled the magic factor instantly.
When I say this is
rammed with glitter, I mean, this is RAMMED with glitter. There is tiny dazzle dust of all sorts of
colours – pink and blue mainly – and thanks to my coat of Gelous and Poshe,
this sparkles and dances in the light like Christmas fairy lights.
Don’t get me wrong,
this is a gorgeous polish. It’s dark, it’s
decadent, it’s playful. But would I want
to wear it every day of my life ? No. Which is a weird position to be in. I TOTALLY get this polish, understand it,
respect it – but do I feel connected to it?
No. Haunted by it ? No.
Hypnotised? Only a little.
Maybe I am getting
too fussy in my old age, or maybe it’s cos I’ve had a BAAAAAAAAADDDDD day, I don’t
know, but there’s some disconnect for me somewhere. Pretty, dangerous and slinky though this is, I
can’t see myself wearing this to death.
So, for once, I am
going to reserve judgement. For now,
applaud her beauty, and then later, I’ll decide whether she gets to stay. I am now off to be a Grumpy Crumpy, I sincerely
hope you’ve had a better day J
Enjoy J xx
Ooooh, almost
forgot. Have you noticed how bright
lighted the photos are ? It’s dark and
dull over here, so how have I managed that ?
Well it turns out that the light in the utility room is BRIGHT WHITE and
makes for marvellous photos ? Who knew
? I barely know what goes on in that
room, but there sure is going to be a lot of photo-ing from now on J

Top Tip – if you’re
ever unsure what a nail colour looks like, go to Google images, which will give
you plenty of contrasts and compares.
