My Collection, Swatched: Nina Ultra Pro Spun Sugar

Spun Sugar is a light pink/beige/cream color with a soft shimmer running through.  The shimmer is not visible on the nail, but adds some depth to the color.  Overall this is a great neutral color that leans a bit warm.  I would say this is very work appropriate, not something I am usually a fan of, but I love this color.  The formula is a bit thick, but very easy to work with and the color is opaque in 2 coats.  Honestly, I love this brand, and I wish I owned more of them.  Nina Ultra Pro is availabe at Sally Beauty Supply, and is pretty affordable.  They come in awesome colors, including lots of neons and duochromes.

My Collection, Swatched: Butter London British Racing Green

Butter London British Racing Green is a deep emerald green with green microshimmer running throughout.  The swatches show three coats of the polish with base and top coat.

The formula on this polish is good, but a little thicker than other Butter London polishes I have tried.  The shimmer is barely visible on the nail in real life except when outdoors in sunlight.  The color is beautiful regardless, and has a glossy finish.

My Collection, Swatched: Butter London Yummy Mummy


BL Yummy Mummy is a soft cream/beige color with a silver frost running through.  It is a beautiful neutral color with a twist.  Pictures show a swatch of Yummy Mummy with base/top coat Top to Bottom by Orly and 3 coats of BLYM.  Two coats is enough for full opacity (I do not enjoy sheer polishes), but I applied a third coat for good measure.

I really enjoy the way this looks against my skin color as it is a true neutral that leans a little on the cooler side.
