| butter LONDON Jaffa |
I wasn't sure why people would spend $14 on a bottle of nail polish.
I get it now.
This has got to be one of the silkiest, easiest-to-apply formulas I've ever used. The brush is perfect. It went on like . . . well, butter.
I was curious to see if all the raving people were doing was warranted, so when I got a 20% of promotion from drugstore.com, I decided to try it out. I had a hard time choosing a color though, because honestly, most of the colors looks like things I have in my stash from other brands. I settled on Jaffa because I've been looking for a retina-burning orange. Not neon, just true, balanced orange.
And I still haven't found it. This one is more coral than I was expecting, and sheerer too. Even with three coats, there is still a little VNL:
But I don't care. I really like it.
I did check my stash to see if anything I have looks like a dupe, and Zoya Elodie is a contender. If I can remember, I'll swatch it out before I remove this.
One last look:

Not certain if this color would end up in my stash, but sure looks smooth and shiny. I think that's half the fight to having great nails.

ReplyDeleteIt really is so flattering on you! I like it too.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's such a happy color!
ReplyDeleteHow wild -- I just got this very color TODAY! Out of all the colors on the display, this one spoke to me. I haven't applied it yet, so it's great to see it on you. Now I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it on you!
ReplyDeleteWell, I can't wait to see it on another either. Maybe I'll have to go shopping. :^)
