Happy 2013!!! Butter London Holiday Glitter Trio Swatches

Hello Everyone!

First off...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope you all had an amazing 2012 and that 2013 is even better! I have to say I'm looking forward to what this year has to offer both planned (i.e. graduating!) and unexpected. I especially can't wait to continue to connect with you all AND any new Colour Lovers who happen to stumble upon my blog. I can think of no other way to start this year of blogging off right than with a post. SO I present to you swatches of the butter LONDON Holiday Glitter Trio Set! 
  

L to R: Shambolic, Jack the Lad, Scuppered

The packaging is nothing extravagant. It's your typical butter LONDON gift set box just in a holiday silver. There was one thing I loved on the package. We'll get to that after the swatches...

Shambolic is a very complex purple! My camera refused to capture how truly gorgeous this color is. In the light there's gorgeous flecks of purple, green, and pink. There is also a mix of both silver AND pink hexagon glitter. I wasn't expecting to love this as much as I did! The formula was a bit thick (kind of expected it given the glitter) but still easy to work with. I reached perfect opacity here with 2 coats.

Jack the Lad is gorgeous. Simple as that. This is one complex green! Jack the Lad has yellow, gold, green, and the perfect hint of blue shimmers all in a dark green base. The effect, especially in the sun, is nothing short of stunning. I seriously could not stop staring at my nails! This polish was very easy to work with not too thick or thin. The shine was amazing even before the top coat. I reached perfect opacity with 2 coats.

Scuppered is a beautiful bronze shimmer with a lot going on. There's brown, green, and gold shimmer in this one. There are even hints of red and orange though, though my camera could not pick that up. My favorite part has to be the larger pieces of green glitter that shine through.

I definitely loved this butter LONDON Holiday Glitter Trio! There is one more set that I will be swatching for you all in another post. Rather than paying full price of $36 for each one, I was able to get the sets for half off, $18 each, by watching Good Morning America! They had another Deals and Steals segment going on and each one was half off! Sometimes it pays to wake up early! You can still get a deal on it now! The sets are on www.butterlondon.com for $25!

 

As for the thing I loved about the packaging...

Couldn't have said it better myself! Can't help but feel they were thinking of me!

Hope you all enjoyed the post! Which one was your favorite of the three? Also, please let me know what you all want to see more of on ColourVida! Thank you for reading and
