A bit of a cheat this week! I recycled last weeks Pink Wednesday nails as a bit of an experiment with a polish I had tried before but disliked. Leighton Denny's Butterfly Wings is a gorgeous sheer peachy pink with blue shimmer. It's really unusual that I would choose something like this but I fell head over heels with the blue shimmer. It just looked so unusual I decided I needed to give it a go.
I first wore this about a year ago and, disappointingly, I hated it. The peachy tones were really strong and looked terrible against my skin. I wanted to like this so much so whilst digging through my polish stash for my next Pink Wednesday feature I pulled this out for a play. I applied two coats of Butterfly Wings over 3 coats of Nails Inc Paris. Paris itself is a blue toned pink so it really helps to reduce the peachiness of Butterfly Wings. The result is quite interesting milky pink which is heading very close to a lilac colour.
I prefer this a lot more than wearing it alone and think it looks infinitely better with the blue tones emphasised more than the peach, at least on my hands. Butterfly Wings is £11 for 12ml from the Leighton Denny website.
