Essie Butler Please was all over the blogs when it came out, but I ignored it for quite awhile. I didn't buy it until about a month ago and then it sat in my untrieds for another month!! Finally trying it today was one of those moments where you say "why did I wait this long???"! Butler Please is a crazy bright vibrant blue. The nearly neon quality of this polish definitely sets it apart from the tons of other blue cremes I own. Before trying this, I was thinking it would be close to Essie Mesmerize (even though I have seen comparison pics), but Butler Please is lighter and a thousand times more vibrant. By now I think we all know that Butler Please is a near dupe of Nails Inc. Baker St., but I don't own that one, so that's OK with me.

While the color is stunning, the application here was less than stellar. The neon pigment in Butler Please makes this polish a bit hard to work with. It was kind of thick and the first two coats went on unevenly. The third coat and a nice coat of top coat worked to smooth everything out though. The neon pigment also means that this dries to a kind of satin finish, so most of you will definitely want to add a top coat. For a color this pretty, I'm willing to work with the formula, but the less patient among you may want to find an easier alternative.

Essie Butler Please is available on Apothica.com and in a drugstore near you.

SpaRitual Running With Wolves

Base: One coat Zoya Get Even
Color: Two coats SpaRitual Running With Wolves
Top: One coat Seche Vite
Application: Average (out of poor, average, good, excellent)

 SpaRitual Running With Wolves is a FANTASTIC color for fall. I'm just starting to get into fall colors, and Running With Wolves really called my name today. Running With Wolves is a glowing deep copper shimmer. It's really nice to see a rich copper that is not a foil. A lot of times when polish companies do silver, gold, or copper, they pick a foil finish and I really prefer the shimmer.

I rated the application of Running With Wolves as just average, because I had difficulty avoiding visible brushstrokes. You can see some on my pointer finger, a TON on my middle finger, and none on my ring or pinkie. With very careful application, visible brushstrokes can be avoided with this polish. Just make sure you don't go over the same area twice. Stick with three brushstrokes per nail and that's it. On the bright side, this is just two coats and it's perfectly opaque! Also, the bubble you see on my ring finger is from Seche, not from this polish. Bad Seche!!

SpaRitual Running With Wolves is available online at Apothica.com in both full and mini sizes!
