Butter London - Trout Pout

I've spent some time considering what an appropriate "first-post polish" would be to publish on this blog, but in the end I'm just going to share what I happened to be wearing today. Which, as it turns out, is a perfectly beautiful lacquer. It's Butter London's "Trout Pout". Obnoxious name, pretty colour. It's a cantaloupe-pink creme that has a not-quite-neon vibrancy to it. This was two coats, and it was still a bit streaky in some spots, but not noticeable enough to warrant a third. I used Essie's base coat and quick-dry top coat for this manicure. I really like this, and think it's a perfect spring colour. It also garnered quite a few compliments. By the end of the day I did sustain a couple chips; while lacquer usually chips on me within the second day of having applied it, this did seem to be unusually chip prone. That said, it's well worth it for such a beautiful, vibrant polish. It is unique in my collection, and it's a keeper for me.

...well, I guess you'd probably like to see pictures at some point, right?

So that's my first post on The Lacquer Tracker, and tomorrow I'll post something pretty and pink for the lead up to Valentine's Day. In the meantime, here are a couple photos of my picks from today's MAC release ("Shop MAC/ Cook MAC" collection):

 

MAC lipstick in Watch Me Simmer - a bright, opaque pink-orange.

MAC Tendertone Lip Balm (SPF 12) in Purring - sheer tangerine balm, with a heavenly scent.

MAC Fluidliner in Added Goodness - smokey mauve/black eyeliner. Slightly metallic finish.


That's all for tonight, folks (hah, as if I'm not totally just talking to myself here... but seriously, if this blog post I'm about to send out into the vast, wild, untamed internet finds it's way to you, feel free to comment and tell me what you thought of Butter London Trout Pout, or the latest MAC release!).
