Butter London Big Smoke

Today we have another Butter London polish, this time up is Big Smoke, which is a dusky medium navy blue. I like the color a lot. The formula on this one, not so much. I used four very generous coats, and still in some places in the light I can slightly still see through. So I'm slightly disappointed,now I know why it was sat there so full in the collection. XD But, with a white or black base that can be remedied depending on how dark you want to go I reckon. Photographs a tad darker than it is. Four coats with a top of Poshe. Bottle shot!



Indoor lighting.



Outdoors, it was a bit drizzly so this wasn't in the normal spot but best place I could get with good light. Should it clear will take another picture.

  2. I like that one! I love dark steely blues and grays. Too bad about the formula, that's always a disappointment :/

  3. That's too bad about the formula...Dang! It looks nice though. I'm a big fan of vampy navy polishes! But four coats!? Yikes!

  4. 4 coats WTFudge? The other one you modeled was only 2, Weird how some polish from the same companies can be so different.......

    The end product is very pretty, I agree with the white or black base to reduce the amount of coats though

  5. I'll be skipping this one. What a shame. I also love the navy shades. I hate when you get those baldy patches. What a big pain.

  7. I was surprised that at the fourth one that you could still see through in spots, and not just in the length but in the middle areas in the light. Certainly worth it though with a base coat in retrospect.
