Butter London Teddy Girl and Pretty & Polished Elvis' Pink Cadillac

Just a simple mani that combines two of my favourite things - a pretty, sugar pink cream and a black glitter! I wore Butter London Teddy Girl for a day, the added the Pretty & Polished. Teddy Girl is a super-girly pale pink; it's quite opaque - I used three coats here and the application is pretty good for such a paste shade.

Then I added a single coat of Pretty & Polished Elvis' Pink Cadillac. This is black glitter in a light pink jelly base; the pink is a little brighter than BL Teddy Girl and it pulled the mani a bit brighter - which I like. I think it would probably take rather a lot of coats of Elvis' Pink Cadillac to get a good density of colour, so I'd consider this to be a layering polish. In the bottle, there are larger black hexes, but I didn't get any on my nails. This wasn't entirely intentional, the larger black hexes seemed to be firmly stuck to the bottle - but I do prefer the simplicity of a single size of black glitter so had I got any out I'd probably have put them back in the bottle.

I really enjoyed this mani and I wore it for several days - including a super weekend away for a great 21 mile fell race. So I'll wear this combination of colours again to bring back happy memories :)

I purchased BL Teddy Girl at my local Boots and Pretty & Polished Elvis' Pink Cadillac was a gift from a friend.
