My dog died on Christmas Eve.

I don't know if I will be back but I will try.

God Bless.

Saw this inside a magazine, and just HAD to scan! :)


 
 If the magazine scan is hard to read, it says:
If you're fair: Fuschia
A cool pink warms up on fair skin and "gives such a pop of color to the face," says celebrity makeup artist Kim Baker. Bonus: It also electrifies light eyes.
Your best lipstick: Illamasqua lipstick in Eurydice, $24

If you're medium: Bubblegum Pink
You can really wear anything, but golden skin is particularly complemented by this girly shade. Feeling edgy? Try it with black eyeliner.
Your best lipstick: L'Oreal Paris Colour Caresse by Colour Riche Luminous Lipcolour in Pink Vinyl, $10

If you're olive-skined: True Red
The saturated hue balances your slightly green undertones and adds just the right amount of vibrancy. For impact, try lip liner underneath.
Your best lipstick: Tom Ford Lip Color in Wild Ginger, $48

If you're darker skinned: Purple
Deep violent jumps on dark skin. "The more intense your complexion, the more intense the color needs to be", says makeup artist Sam Fine.
Your best lipstick: MAC Pro lipstick in Violetta, $15

xoxo,
Emmy

Official Color Description from Butter London:
A truly teal nail lacquer, bold and very bright.

On Color: This is a true man's teal. A lovely color, shining off both blue and green like the sea. I applied 2 uneven coats because I suck and this shade tolerated my mistakes well. For the veterans, you might get it opaque on 1 thick coat (and I envy you!).

This shade gets more blue and less green the less lighting there is. In the bright sun, its a perfect mix of blue and green.

On Wear-a-bility: Be sure to wear a base color! This color will add a slight bluish stain to your nails if worn longer than 1 week without a base coat. My sister complain that it also stain her skin, but it did not stain mines.

Overall: This shade leans more on blue than green but it compliments all skin tones really well (especially  warm and medium complexions)

Dupes:
Sonia Kashuk in Making Waves (a bit brighter than Slapper)
Milani Fresh Teal (more blue than Slapper)

You can purchase this shade at Amazon, Sephora, and Butter London's website.
