Dipping my toes (and fingers) into the pool of great Indie polishes out there with Crowstoes "Shoot the Butterfly" - this is just the second Indie I've tried and I'm impressed! I was unsure what to expect really, in comparison to the big brands, but so far I'm very pleased!
First a quick apology on the swatches - I had significant tip shrinkage here and it's due to my elderly bottle of Seche top coat and nothing to do with the Crowstoes.

| Crows Toes Shoot the Butterfly - Sunlight |
Shoot the Butterfly is a charcoal black jelly base with shiny orange hex glitters, teeny tiny matt white hex particles and microscopic round holo glitters. Shown here are two coats atop black undies (No7 "Just Black") with NE base and Seche topcoat. From swatches I've seen online (and even these pics actually) I was expecting that in real life it would have more of a jelly look than it seemed to have. I think that next time I'll use a paler undie - perhaps a charcoal grey for a smoky look...

This polish is just so so pretty, and perfect for Autumn. I know that it's meant to be inspired by monarch butterflies, but for me the orange and black reminds me of Halloween, of pumpkins and bonfires and fancy dress. It's enchanting, and this is officially the polish that I have received the most compliments on. I have fancy nails all the time, but this polish really caught everyone's attention and even garnered compliments from MEN! Can you imagine? Boys that notice nail polish? Miraculous!

I bought this lovely from
Rainbow Connection for £10.25. It won't be my last Crowstoes polish that's for sure (now I want Boat Drinks, My Favourite Amazon.....sigh, how long till payday?)
