Butter London "Teddy Girl" & OPI "Pirouette My Whistle"

Today's nail of the day was another one of my experiments with glitter polishes. I enjoy trying different glitters over varying polishes to find fun combinations. Today's combination is Butter London's "Teddy Girl" and OPI "Pirouette My Whistle."

If you would like to see more photos and a complete review of Butter London's "Teddy Girl," you can find mine here. It's definitely one of my favorite pinks!

OPI's "Pirouette My Whistle" is a silver glitter with small and bigger round glitters. This polish really does look like a tutu in a bottle.

I went a bit photo-crazy with this photo combination trying to capture the glitter properly, but I still recommend enlarging the photos to get a better look.

The clear base in "Pirouette My Whistle" made it easy to layer. I find that one coat provides enough glitter, though you can double up if you just love a lot of glitter.

"Pirouette My Whistle," since it is a silver glitter with so many finely glitters in it, creates a somewhat muddy finish.

When I initially finished painting my nails, I was not thrilled with this combination. I felt the silver glitter made the pink polish look a bit too muddy, and while I do love muddy polishes, "Teddy Girl" is such a crisp pink that I didn't feel as if the combination worked. However, as the day wore on, the combination grew on me. However, I think I'll stick to layering "Pirouette My Whistle" over more neutral/grey shades.
