Fall has - fallen!! Butter LONDON Brown Sugar

If spring has sprung every year, than I guess fall has fallen, right? ;)  Well even if that's not right, I'm still saying it! LOL

Ahhh I'm apparently in a goofy mood yet again tonight!  Chatting with a passel of awesome people does that to you. :)  I've just "met" Claudia, the lovely lady behind a brand-new blog, idreamofpolish. She already has some really perfect swatches up - I wish mine  had looked that good at the beginning!!
Anyways, we spent most of Saturday chatting and let me tell you, she's an incredible person.  It blows my mind how I've met so many lovely people simply through buying polish from their sale, and then we get to chatting. :)  I can't WAIT to show you the polishes I got from Claudia - and I don't have to, because they're ALREADY HERE!!! :O  I about DIED when I came home today and saw a bubble mailer for me.  I'm soooo excited to add a Posh Bird from London and some Vice of the Illamasqua variety to the 'ol stash!! :D  Thanks a million, Claudia!

Anyhoo, back to the mani at hand! heehee

I give you some of the prettiest Brown Sugar I've ever seen!  This is two tasty coats of this amazingness, and when I took these photos, I believe I'd had it on for two or three days, with OPI Nail Envy as both the base and top coat.

As you can see - and I was surprised to discover - Brown Sugar has a lovely rich wine colored jelly-like base, absolutely filled to the brim with gold and coppery shimmer, as well as small, delicate gold and rose gold hexes. She's a total stunner, people!! ;)

I probably should've done three coats because the jelly base did lend itself to a bit of patchiness.  Also, I was in a hurry to get this done and get to bed, so of course it bubbled, BUT - another reason I ♥ this polish - it seems to disguise bubbles quite well amid the dense shimmer and thin hexes. It's got my impatient back! ;)

Why do they have to print that code on the back of the bottle?! Totally destroys the aesthetic.

Application was very smooth and well, butter-like!  My only issue was the weird brush...it was cut up at an angle on one side, so a bunch of the bristles were are all different lengths.  But interestingly enough, if I held it a certain way, it laid like a normal brush...it was just a pain to make sure I had it "right!"  I got this at Ulta (during their September calendar sale - one day only, $10 BL's) & didn't keep the receipt, so I don't think I have any hopes of exchanging it.  Not to mention, my Ulta is 2 hours away. :-/

Ahh this polish is SO gorgeous!!  Just feast your eyes on all of that brilliance from the light bouncing off all those gold shimmers & glitters!
Brown Sugar is everything I love about fall: warm, cozy, beautiful, and hearkens to the delightful, spiced fall scents we get from places like Bath & Body Works (another major addiction I have).
I honestly had never even seen this one on any blog before, but as I was perusing the display - more like picking up every single bottle to make sure I was fully aware of all of my options - and got my mitts on Brown Sugar, I believe I exclaimed out loud: "WHOA. I need this!" :P  LOL  And the rest is history. ;)

Good night, peeps!!  I hope you've enjoyed this tasty fall treat!
