Butter London- Fishwife is an online-exclusive (US only) that was released last week for New York Fashion Week.  It's a greeny-blue holographic- how could I resist?  Butter London's website calls the color "turquoise and sage."

Artificial light, and you can already see the holo-ness:


According to Urban Dictionary,  fish wife =

"A man or woman who collects other people's gossip and spreads it around to all and sundry. 

To gossip like an old fish wife"

And, fishwife (with no space) =

"A slag that is always shouting and generally being a loud slut."

Soooooo, yea.

Window-filtered daylight:


Outdoor, shade:




Now, what everyone probably wants to see- sun shots:



You can see a defined prism in the middle of the nail, so I'd call it a linear holo, but there are particles dispersed over the nail, so maybe it's in between a linear and a scattered holographic?  I don't know.  I just know it's really pretty.



It really is quite holographic; Butter London didn't skimp on the holo particles or pigments or whatever makes those magical rainbows.



And now, comparisons to two other light blue holographics-

(I've got to  be honest: I didn't even want to do the comparison, because I wanted to wear Fishwife all by itself for a few days!)  But, I sucked it up, and here it is:



You can already see it is much greener and more muted.

In the sun:






Formula: When I swatched it on a swatch stick, I was a little disappointed: it seemed thin.  I needed three coats for opacity.  However, when I did it on my nails, I did a normal first coat, let it dry for a minute, and then did a second thicker coat, which was pretty much opaque.

No problems in application, and it didn't cuticle drag like a lot of holos can.  In comparison to Nfu Oh- 65's (terrible) formula, for example, it is buttery and amazing. You don't have to do the whole floaty-don't-actually-touch-the nail-with-the-brush-thing with Fishwife.

So, I have no dupes for this, and I can't really think of any either.  The base color is similar to Essie- Sag Harbor or China Glaze- Sea Spray (which are near-dupes).

I'm really pleased with this polish.  My only complaint is Butter London's shipping fee (UPS) which was over $7 for one polish. Egh.
