(Ok, so you know I said I wasn't going to post on weekends... well, I have sooooo many Star Wars themed polishes that there are going to be some weekend posts. Mainly because I am planning out what I want to show you and it works better if I post every.single.day. We'll see how long I can keep this up! Odds are, I probably still won't post every day. [Never tell me the odds!])
Not going to lie, the name of this polish totally cracks me up and even it was wasn't Star Wars related I still might have to have it. Today I have Girly Bits I Like Big Buns, which, if the name isn't a clue enough already, is based on Princess Leia's iconic cinnamon bun hairstyle. This was one of the polishes that was released in the May 2015 A Box, Indied. Now, as my readers, you know that I am not a huge fan of brown polishes. I feel like they look chic on other people but not on me. However, I Like Big Buns has a gorgeous pink shimmer that really gives it character and depth and makes it unique among my collection. The deep brown has almost a hint of red to it, giving this polish even more depth.
The formula of I Like Big Buns was ok; not great but not terrible. The first coat was a little sheer, but it built up nicely. Two coats probably would have been ok if I had slightly smaller nails, but I needed three coats for the coverage I wanted. Though it was a bit sheer initially, it was easy to work with.
My pictures of I Like Big Buns aren't the greatest, but hopefully you are able to see the shimmer. This polish is much more stunning in real life. I think it definitely captures the feeling of Leia and her hair. It's unique and gorgeous!
Nice swatches of it!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really nice. I'd be tempted to try it with a matte topcoat to try to highlight the shimmer.
ReplyDeleteLovely shade. Wanna see without bottel shot too.
ReplyDeleteI love the name of this! It's such a pretty polish and the shimmer makes it so unusual.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great color. I've been getting into browns lately and I love the added shimmer.
