Butter London The Black Knight

From the minute I saw the preview picture of The Black Knight, I knew I had to have it. So when I saw this in a two-pack at Ulta (I got the duo that also had the lovely irridescent glitter Tart With A Heart, but there was also the option of buying it with a purple-y pink chrome polish called Fairy Lights) a few weeks back, I was elated!

The Black Knight is a black jelly base filled with small round glitter in a multitude of colors: blue, magenta, red and some very fine gold microglitter as well. It's part of Butter's limited edition holiday trio so get it while you can if you like this one!

I used three coats for this mani and I think next time I might put a black creme underneath just to save more of my precious Butter! :) The formula for The Black Knight was thick and maybe could benefit from a drop or two of thinner next time I wear it. Like most glitterbombs, The Black Knight also dries quite gritty and eats topcoat. You would definitely need two coats of topcoat to even everything out, but I left it at one since a bit of grit doesn't bother me too much.

To me, this is the definite standout from Butter's holiday offerings, although I think all three polishes look lovely and can't wait to try Heart With A Tart as well. I like that The Black Knight is something different and unique as far as holiday glitters go. It's still festive but with a bit of a twist thanks to the black jelly base. Butter never lets me down! :)
