OPI 'Purple With a Purpose'

For Christmas I asked for some OPI nailvarnishes from my mum, who graciously bought me some! I'd never had it before but I always read about it on other nail blogs, and it seems like a fancy brand so I wanted to try it. This colour is called 'Purple With A Purpose' but it should totally be called Cadbury's Dairy Milk Purple as it's almost the exact same colour as the dairy milk packaging!  It's maybe slightly pinker than the Dairy Milk, but very close otherwise.



 



The brush of this seems much bigger than usual, but fans out nicely and paints well. The consistency of the polish is great, has excellent coverage, and the bottle is huge (for a nail polish) with 15mls compared to the Rimmel polishes from yesterday with only 8mls.

Butter London '3 Free' Nail Polish

I bought this polish because I wanted the colour for my pastel rainbow nail set that I like to do sometimes (I'll take photos next time I do it!). I got it from asos.com, and I think it was on sale.

 

I think it's a nice colour, but for a polish that costs almost £10 full price, it has a really crap brush. Also, the huge rectangular lid doesn't come off to reveal a normal brush, you have to use the whole unwieldy thing to paint onto your nails. So whilst the formula is pretty nice, the brush lets it down badly. Also, it's a fairly measly 3 fluid ounces, so overall, not a great product. Their whole schtick is that it is free of formaldehyde, toluene and 'DBP' whatever that is, hence the '3 free' thing. So... good for you, Butter, but it doesn't make up for such a measly and badly designed product.
