Butter London 3 Free Nail Lacquer in Scuppered

Okay, I know the Butter London Holiday 2012 collection came out ages ago (and I bought them over a month ago), but I only got around to trying them out now. As we all know, I have an obsession with glitter/shimmer polishes, so you can imagine how excited I was about this collection, in which all of the shades have some sort of sparkle element to it. They all have a Christmas-y or winter theme to them, but not predictably so. I thought I would try the most unique of the five shades first.


Scuppered is a medium-dark metallic bronze-copper base with fuchsia, gold, and bronze micro-glitter, and green hexagonal glitter. It has a fluid consistency, without being too thick or runny. It goes on smoothly and evenly, without any pulling, bubbling, or streaking. It has high pigmentation, and will go opaque in two medium coats. I cannot think of any dupes at this time. This is kind of a weird shade, not just because it's so unique to Butter London, but because it has such an unexpected combination of components. It's not a striking shade, but there is a strange beauty to it, reminding me of hot apple cider and hot chocolate, putting up ornaments on Christmas trees, and shiny gift wrap paper. Festive without being obnoxiously so.
