Butter London Marrow & Shambolic
Today’s mani combines two of my Butter London favorites, Marrow and Shambolic. Marrow is a dark purple with silver shimmer from the Fall 2010 Collection. Shambolic is from the latest 2012 Holiday Collection and it’s a very complex polish. It has ultrafine glitter in dark purple, pink, silver (?), maybe gold (?), maybe blue (??) and larger hexes in silver and purple. The sparkle may even have some holo in it. Whatever it is…I like it.
I used tape to create this look. I started with two coats of Marrow. For my ring finger and thumb, I taped off the corners. For the remaining nails, I taped off the nail, leaving the tips exposed. Then I polished one generous coat of Shambolic.
I’ve yet to do a mani with Shambolic on its own, but I bet it would be awesome. I’ll have to put that on my list!
P.S. Don’t forget to enter the Giving Thanks for You! giveaway before December 5th!
This is gorgeous, but then again so are all of your manicures!
Thanks, Mel! You are so sweet! This was so easy!
Beautiful!
Thank you, dear! :)
Lookin’ goooooood!
Susan, I am totally imagining how you would say that in real life! :D
This reminds me of Christmas baubles my Mum has for our tree at home, just missing the silver sequins!! :D Love it!
I wish I’d read your comment before I took this mani off…silver sequins would have been a perfect add!
i LOVE both of these colors and love how you mixed them, just gorgeous!
Thanks, Amanda. They were sitting side by side in my polish rack. :)
Classy mix!
Thanks, Danisha!
Gorge. Gorge. Gorge. I can’t wait to see Shambolic on its own, either. I’m going to purchase immediately!
Take your own GAP bag to Ulta (as a matter of fact, take it everywhere this Christmas season) and tell the checkout lady you prefer to carry all your purchases in THIS particular GAP bag.
I just spit my drink out at work, reading this!! And I think the GAP bag will become my new purse of choice this holiday season.
Love this!
Thanks! <3
Amazing! Love colours and the way you have used both of them! :)
This was like a 10 minute mani. Very easy! Thanks for reading!
Wow that’s not long at all! I will have to give it a go! :) x
Flawless combination! Absolutely stunning!
Thank you, Christina. I’m amazed that you find the time to go to law school, blog AND read/comment on other blogs! You are super woman!
It’s definitely a balancing act! You find time for what you love!
This is such a gorgeous combination! Love the dark eggplant with the glittery purple :)
Thanks, Shelby!
Lovely combo, and gorgeous tape design!
