Last Friday I was opening my Christmas swap package, and I was amazed to find this amazing polish among all the goodies. To tell you the truth, I never thought I will have Butter London polishes in my collection, but I guess you should never say never, right?

It actually has the best things in it! Purple, duochrome and holo glitters! This one looks so pretty and I love to see the colors shift, and the pretty little holo glitter sparkle int he light. The thing is, it was quite hard to catch this beauty on camera.

Butter London Knackered is a purple and green duochrome polish with fine holographic glitters.
It was actually very sheer and needed 3 thick coats to get it opaque, and still the nails show underneath. I think I will try it next time over a darker color, maybe Essie Sexy Divide or another dark purple or blue color. It's pretty on it's own but I don't like it when my polishes are so sheer that you can see the nails underneath. So I think layering it over a darker color is a good idea.

I realized I had two other colors I didn't wear yet, and they might be a good dupe for this one, so I'll make a comparison post sometimes soon including Butter London Knackered, OPI Not Like The Movies and Barry M Silvery Lilac. I'm sure that Knackered will be the best among them all, but it's still interesting to make this comparison between these three.

I was surprised to see that this polish looks best in the shade, and then you can see the purple color the most. In direct sunlight it look more gray but the holo glitters sparkle so pretty. It was pretty hard to get good photos with this one, but overall it's a gorgeous color and I can't wait to try it again and see how it will come out.
