Flakie Face Off!

Nfu.Oh lacquers are up there with the best. I haven't come across one as yet that isn't BOOM BOOM POW awesome. But, as awesome as the lacquers are, the flakies take it to a whole other level. Jump to see a Flakie Face Off featuring two of my favourites.

From the moment I bought butter LONDON's British Racing Green, we were in love. Not because it's a traditional racing green colour. I love this because it takes a traditional creme and amps it up with kicka** shimmer.

Best of 2010: 2nd place...

All Hail McQueen gets second spot in my Best of 2010 lacquers because, quite frankly, this is just one glorious colour. I work in a conservative work environment that requires neutral lacquers.  But even I get sick of pinks, taupes and French manicures. Which is where All Hail McQueen...

I can’t say I wasn’t warned.  I have lemming-ed butter LONDON’s Muggins for over a year, despite being told by friends that it wasn’t as impressive in person as it appeared on the butter LONDON website. They were right.  I thought this might be a...

Oooh, butter LONDON’s Victoriana does not need me to advertise its virtues, when all of those virtues are sitting there in plain sight. This is EXQUISITE. Imagine heavy brocade and this is its equivalent in lacquer form.  Utterly opulent. Beautiful to work with. ...

Not since Scrangie have I fallen so in love with one lacquer. butter LONDON’s All Hail McQueen is exquisite.  A brown base with swathes of gold and pink through it.  Unfortunately, on my swatch it looks like a beige glitter so you’re going to have to trust me on...

If you’re an Aussie, October’s Harper Bazaar Magazine has a special gift for you.  Yep, it’s Gisele Bundchen talking smack about breast feeding!  Oh yeah, and there’s a free butter LONDON lacquer included in the $9.95 purchase price.  You can pick...

I think I must be the 432nd blogger to post these so… I don’t know… just pretend to be surprised and in awe. Punk and Chi Chi are two limited edition lacquers that continue Eyeko’s legacy of developing on trend lacquers.  Punk is a glorious bubble gum pink...

One of my most favourite lacquers of all time is butter LONDON‘s British Racing Green.  I have swatched this previously (do a search through the archives for that hot mess) but felt it was due another go on the Jacie Swatching Merry-Go-Round. Applying this again reminded...

I don’t know if you guys are enjoying me revisiting old lacquers, but I really love digging through my stash, finding a lacquer that I did a monstrous swatch for and then trying to do it justice a second time around. butter LONDON is a brand I adore but I did not like the look of...
