   Love this color! It’s unique in my large collection. It’s a bronzy-pinky duochrome with green glitter. I’ve actually gotten pretty good wear with this, better than other reviewers’ experiences. I am hard on my hands at work, and I’ve only gotten a couple of very tiny chips at a couple of nail corners. I used the Revlon gel base coat (sadly no longer available) and Essie Good to Go over top. The formula is easy to work with-it does dry pretty fast though, so you have to work quickly. It’s opaque in 2 coats. Very pretty polish!

   I was so surprised at the terrible reviews for this polish, but now that I got a manicure with this color, I totally understand the reviews! The color is absolutely stunning, and I loved it AT FIRST.

   I got a manicure with this color so they used a base coat, two coats of the polish and Seche Vite top coat.

   It is now two days later and half my fingers have huge flakes missing of the polish. WORST POLISH EVER! I swear, Wet N Wild quality is better.

   Not good. I had such high hopes for this color, it’s such an unusual glittery bronze with green and pink flecks. But it has THE. WORST. WEAR. EVER. I did my manicure in the evening and admired my pretty nails while it dried. I had a chip by morning. Now how the eff do you chip your polish in your sleep? Didn’t have time to fix it so I went about my business. By noon my entire right index finger was denuded of polish. By the end of the workday three more nails were cracked to bits and it looked like I’d been digging a grave with my bare hands. Unacceptable. My manicure steps include a basecoat (Nailtek Foundation) and topcoat (Essie Good to Go or Sally Hansen Diamond Flash), so I know it’s not their fault since they work perfectly to keep all my other polishes looking good for a few days at least. Underwhelmed, to put it mildly.

   Scuppered is a color I bought for Thanksgiving and the month of November specifically, as a previous reviewed seemed to do as well. This shade features a beautiful bronze microglitter that can shift pink and a speckling of bright green glitter. Application of this color is easy and even. It’s very beautiful on the nail and quite glamorous for a shade of brown, but the formula here is one of the poorest wearing I’ve tried recently. Scuppered is prone to chipping and doesn’t last very long before flaking off in sheets, I may try using it layered over another polish to help it last longer. I think for the price point the formula could use major improvement in the durability aspect, but the shade itself is gorgeous and very unique.

   Scuppered is such an odd combination of colors and yet they all work together. It’s a foiled bronze base that occasionally flashes pink, depending on the light, with medium-sized green glitter. I admit I wore it on Thanksgiving just because the bronze and green reminded me of a browned turkey and peas! Silly I know, but it’s quite a festive color. The wear could have been a little better – I had significant chips after 3 days – but I think that’s more a problem of my weak nails and a lot of time spent cooking rather than the polish itself.

   First, let me say that I LOVE this color. It is just so much fun and so gorgeous, so “I can’t take my eyes off my fingertips in the sunlight” that I can’t begin to tell you.

   Second, I rarely crap out ratings on my polish reviews because of chipping or the wear time. I do my nails about every 2-3 days since I got rid of my acrylics, and this “oh, it didn’t last a week so I am going to give it one star” stuff is just silly.

   However, what makes this polish so amazing is also the reason I am giving it 3.5 stars and will not repurchase.

   This polish is chocked full of the most amazing amounts of multi-colored glitter in a beautiful bronzey-copper base. The effect in artificial light is like flecked foil and just stunning. In daylight, all this pink, blue, green (the largest pieces are of a tealish green), iridesence bounce off of this copper-bronze color and make it too wonderful. This is part of Butter London’s Holiday 2012 collection, and exactly what is needed to make you smile when the days are short and the nights are long.

   All this micro-glitter though, causes the polish to just “pop” off in places. There’s a problem with adhesion of the polish to the nail, and I don’t think I’m nit picking. So it will get you through an afternoon or an evening of glamour, but, unless you have acrylics, forget more than a day or so of wear time.

   I think this is a formula problem, not a use and abuse problem, and it stems from all that beautiful micro-glitter …..

   so, if you are looking for something different and glamorous, I suggest spending a few more bucks and getting Lippmann’s “Swagga Like Us.” You get the beautiful metallic (albeit, without glitter), lots of shine, style, and “oh my goddess, I can’t take my eyes off of my nails” effect, but the duochrome formula provides much better wear …..

   unless you want that microglitter for very specific reasons.

   Love Butter London. Adore this color, but the formula on this particular microglitter needs work.
