Butter London Dodgy Barnett

Dodgy Barnett was released by Butter London as part of its collection for autumn/winter 2012. It's a pale silvery grey holo composed with relatively large holographic particles that produce a loose linear prismatic flair in bright direct light and imbue the polish with pale lavender, blue, pink and gold nuances in indirect light. It's fairly sheer and looks delicate and mysterious when worn that way, with a touch of translucence. Built to opacity it has a creamy fine-grained silvery gray appearance, also lovely.

Application was great. Dodgy Barnett has a fluid, creamy consistency and is easy to manipulate. It is very sheer on the first coat. Two coats will net translucent coverage with a hint of visible nail line. Three coats builds the coverage to complete opacity. Dodgy Barnett dries in good time to a smooth shiny finish and takes well to topcoat, which does not affect its holographic qualities.

Photos were taken in bright indirect natural light and show three coats of Dodgy Barnett over treatment and basecoat with a topcoat of HK Girl.

This is a lovely delicate silvery grey polish with subtle holographic properties that work beautifully with its subdued coloring to produce a diaphanous bloom of various soft prismatic colors. Very nice!
