*ok, so before i begin, i just wanna say that the lighting in these pics SUCK and i will be retaking them. i just really wanted to get this post up because this is a limited edition holiday set, and when i found mine there were only a few left. so i figured i would rather have this up so you all had a better chance of picking one up if you were interested...rather then waiting a few more days and lessening the chance of finding this beauty!
i am sporting The Black Knight from Butter London on my nails and i cant stop staring at my fingers!!! i came across this set in Nordstrom. Both Butter London and Deborah Lippman products were displayed in a random spot among the fragrance department. as i was perusing through the gorgeous polishes, all holiday ready and glittering, i picked up a few - the party trio from Deborah Lippman caught my eye - but, i was really trying to be a good girl and my self control fairy convinced me to put everything down because i really shouldnt be buying any more polishes; especially with the holidays coming!
well, as i was pulling myself away from the sparkly bottles my eye caught this HUGE Butter London box, with an AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING champagne colored iridescent glitter polish & and metallic pink shade. i picked it up and drooled over this GORGEOUS champagne glitter - but, do i really need another pink polish? especially when these two polishes are carrying a $25 price tag?
....no, im being a good girl. im being a good girl. (repeat until breathing returns)
as i put down this wonderfully exciting polish box set i see that right behind it is the same box set- with the same champagne glitter i was lusting over- but...do my eyes deceive me!???? a black multicolored shimmer polish snuggled sweetly next to the champagne glitter. IT WAS FATE. and i will stand by my rationalization to no end!!
meet Tart With A Heart - the champagne iridescent glitter polish that stole my heart and leaped into my arms begging me to give it a home.
This is the gift set, it claims that these polishes are "dressing table worthy" and boyyyyy they were not kidding. i literally refuse to put them away in my polish collection. they are too beautiful to be lost among my other lovelies - they now sit on top of my dresser next to my picture frames, and they look fantastic i must say!!
Tart With A Heart is a champagne glitter with larger iridescent glitter chunks throughout it. *i will be posting swatches of it on my nails next week*
The Black Knight is a creamy black polish chock full of multicolored SHIMMER- not glitter chunks! which is different and awesome. it has highly concentrated blue, purple, red and gold shimmers going through it - sooooo purrty <3
to tell you the truth, i have always passed Butter London by, because i refuse to spend $14 on one polish. i could never justify spending so much on a polish that could be easily duped with a drug store polish. but - these shades, specifically, i have NEVER seen before...and even though with this set you are paying $25 for a two polish gift set, i really dont feel guilty because they are just that unique. they make me smile every time a pass them. i love that they are on display in my room!
check back soon to see swatches of Tart With A Heart and hopefully some better pics that capture the true beauty of these shades!!
also, i found my set at Nordstrom, but im sure you can snag these online on either nordstrom.com or butterlondon.com - they are limited edition for the holidays so happy hunting!!
