Essie Mochachino
Hi all! Happy Saturday! Today's post might look familiar to you - it was a guest post I did over at Amandalandish a few weeks back. Essie Mochachino is a taupe/gray polish with subtle silver shimmer. Essie's website describes Mochachino as a "perky gray with shimmer", but in my opinion this has more of a taupe/brown base. The formula was fantastic and this was fully opaque in two coats. The photos below show two coats of Essie Mochachino topped off with a coat of Seche Vite.

Color Club Earthy Angel
Good Morning! Today I have another Color Club for you. This one is Earthy Angel from the Back to Boho collection.
I normally don't wear nudes, but when I saw this swatch on LTHP I knew I had to have it. It's a nude creme that leans a little red. I love this on everyone else, but I honestly feel it doesn't work on me. The formula was great and easy to work with.
The photos below are two coats of Earthy Angel with no top coat. Please excuse the dryness, I'm working on it. It's getting cold here in New York. ;)
Thoughts on the new photos/lighting?

Butter London All Hail The Queen
Hello :) Today's post feature's Butter London's All Hail The Queen. I actually picked up my very first Butter London polishes during Ulta's B1G1 sale on 9/20. In case you missed out, the sale is currently B2G1, which is a little bit of a savings from their normal $14.00 price tag. I picked up All Hail The Queen, Victoriana, Bluey and No More Waity Katie. I've always been intrigued by Butter London but I feel as if they aren't unique enough to warrant the $14.00 price tag.
All Hail The Queen is a taupe with very subtle shimmer. I noticed more (red/pink) shimmer in the bottle than on my nails to be honest. I've read multiple reviews where they have said this is a holo polish, but I just don't see it. Maybe my bottle is a dud? IMO it looks a little more speckled than anything. Overall it's a really pretty polish and I'm happy to have it. The formula was good and easy to work with. I found the brush to be a little short, but I can't complain since I barely needed any clean up. I'm not a big fan of neutral colors but this may be my go-to polish when I need a neutral.
