NOTD :: Stroke of Midnight && Tart with a Heart

I know the calendar says Spring but today I was feeling a bit dark and edgy. I really like this combination of L'Oreal's Stroke of Midnight with Butter London's Tart with a Heart over top. The Stroke of Midnight is a dark, smokey gray with a subtle blue undertone. It is slightly frosted. To see more pictures of Stroke of Midnight click here.

And to make the nails not too dark and edgy, I decided to put Tart with a Heart on top of my thumb and ring fingers.  I think glittery nail polishes like Tart with a Heart look amazing over top of a dark nail polish. You can see how this nail polish looks on its own here.

Tell me, do you tend to follow the seasons and wear season appropriate nail polishes? Or do you mix it up base on your mood and the seasons are only a guideline and not a strict rule?

Butter London :: Tart with a Heart

I've been eyeing Butter London nail polishes ($14) for a while now.  I finally caved yesterday and purchased two of them at my local Ulta .  Tart with a Heart (from the Holiday 2011 collection) was not available on the Ulta website but this was the one color that I wanted for my first Butter London purchase.  I had a 20% off coupon and decided to stop by my Ulta on my way home after work to just browse.

I was super excited when I spotted the last Tart with a Heart on the Butter London display.  I didn't hesitate, I just grabbed it.  My Ulta had quite an extensive selection of colors.  I didn't go crazy because these are the most expensive nail polishes I have ever purchased and they were not on sale.  If and when they go on sale, I will pick up more.  There were two reasons that I caved.  One was because I got the shade that I had been eyeing for weeks now and two, the 20% off coupon took the sting out of the $14 price tag.
