Butter London Marbs

Are any of you familiar with fashion photography? And to be more particular fashion photography of the seventies? Or what Halston Designs looked like? It was sumptuous, lavish, luxurious with a distinctively off-hand manner. And somehow Butter London Marbs reminds me of those photos and I am sure Halston would have slapped Marbs onto the nails of his models...

Butter London released Marbs as part of their Bespoke Summer Collection 2013. Marbs is named for
Marbella on the Mediterranean, the ideal spot to work on your tan. (to use Butter London's explanation for the name of the polish)



The above two pictures are taken indoors in daylight, the below two photos outdoors, the first in the shade and the second in the sun



Marbs can be a one coater but leaving the house with one coat of polish on my nails is for me like going out with one nail unpainted. Marbs is incredibly saturated, pigmented, foiled, has a really rich creamy and velvety consistency and spreads wonderfully on the nails. I barely had ANY brushstrokes and it dried within the blink of an eye.

Final thoughts: I yet could not bring myself to don a full golden mani - this one might be a first, I just love it :-)!!! 

I ordered Marbs with Pshiiit Boutique.

I look forward to reading your comments - thanks for visiting!!!

    Ahh Marbs... it's absolutely gorgeous and you're right on about it fitting in with the old Halston decadence, sis (even if I had to google it first, lol). This looks wickedly beautiful on you and is further proof of this whole collection being one of my faves this year. I should go grab myself a bottle before summer ends so I can enjoy it in its full intent. And I SO hear you about the one coat thing, I must have two coats or I feel unfinished, lol.

      Hi sis, you sure can claim a big chunk of my delight about the late BL collection!!! I am saving up for another shade of their collection - or two ;-)!!! Awesome you googled Halston - I tried to implant a picture but FORGOT (slap self). I think lots of us nail polish lovers go for two coats - wonder though why we always make such a fuss about having found a one coater though.... LOL

    Wow, this was beautiful on you! Gold polishes can sometime be tricky if it's the wrong tone to the skin if you know what I mean? This however just looked..haha..golden! ;)
    I bet it would work great for stamping, being so pigmented and all that! :P

      Hi Gelic - thank you so much :-) - and you are so right with everything. It must be perfect for stamping (I am not - I am a clutz - I don't get a single stamp done right, mind you, I have seen all the you tube instructions there are, I am untalented for that). And I fear, once my tan has vanished Marbs probably will look horrible - no not the polish, my skin - pink like a piggy - LOL
