Butter London Patent Shine 10X Chat Up

went on a trail ride today! i love trail riding, it's pretty awesome to be able to wander the woods on horseback :) there was a gorgeous heron sitting on a rock in the pond... it was pretty awesome to see it. i've only seen one a few times before, and not since i lived in Virginia, so i was really excited!

today i have Chat Up from the new Butter London Patent Shine 10X line to share with you all! Butter London is one of my fave brands, so of course i had to get one from the new line to try out for myself. they are even more spendy than normal Butter polishes which retail at $15... the Patent Shine 10X line goes for $18. i think this is the most i've ever paid for a polish O.o

the 10X comes from the ten benefits the polishes have... this list is straight from Butter London!

10 Benefits:

• Up to 10 day wear
• Chip resistant
• Full colour coverage
• Gel-like cushion finish and shine
• Fade-resistant
• Protect
• Smooth
• Strengthen
• Brighten
• 7 Free - Butter London does not add formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toluene, DBP, camphor, xylene, or ethyl tosalimide to its nail product formula

Chat Up is a green-toned blue creme that is super pigmented. completely opaque at one coat, and with two coats finished with top coat, it absolutely had the look of a gel! it did chip on me... but i do work with my hands a lot and my nails are so peely. very few polishes last more than a day or two without at least a little chipping.

two coats Chat Up, one coat Salon Perfect Crystal Clear Top Coat. (topcoat is a press sample).

have you tried the Patent Shine 10X line? what did you think? i really like the look of them... wish they were a bit cheaper, though!

as you can see, i had to do a big chop on my nails... they were completely falling apart. i had to do some major scrubbing on Echo where she has some bacterial infection issues, and that did them in! i will probably be keeping them fairly short until it clears up... but i really miss having claws.

Happy Wednesday! Ria :)
