I briefly thought about just putting up swatch photos of butter London Fiddlesticks and nothing else, because look at it:

But okay, a little extra info: Fiddlesticks is a release from Holiday 2012, which was an absolute glitterbomb of a collection. Packed with fine glitter and glass flecks, it has a beautiful glowy-ness. The glittery bright magenta (butter London calls it "raspberry") initially reminded me a little of
OPI DS Extravagance, but the OPI is a little deeper, leans more purple, and is a scattered holo instead of normal glitter/glass fleck.
My skin looks strangely washed out here, but the photo above just shows off that glass fleck and magenta so well.
It dries practically matte and needs a super shiny top coat to really bring out its beauty (Seche Vite is my go-to). I put off swatching this on my nails for so long because being so glitter-heavy, I knew it would be extremely difficult to remove. And then I bought blessed, blessed peel-off base coat. It does chip off way faster with the peel-off, but I have the attention span of a goldfish when it comes to keeping my nail polish the same beyond 2 days, so...
