Butter London Chimney Sweep

Chimney Sweep is described as "Smudgy, sexy, and just a little dirty. A proper charcoal grey with a touch of a metallic finish. Hot.". It is a dark shimmery gray. Seriously. Whats NOT to love?
Now since we have already established that I love it, the next question a sane person would ask (that would not be me!) is how unique is it? Do I already have a dupe of it? Well there were a few colours that I assumed I might have that could be considered dupes. It turns out I had far fewer similar shades than I thought I had. YAY me!!
Illamasqua Snap, Dior NY57th, Chanel Pearl Drop, Butter London Chimney Sweep,  Gosh Black Passion

So the colours I pulled out were Illamasqua Snap, Dior NY 57th ST, Chanel Black Pearl, Gosh Black Passion. From the bottles the Dior one is the only one that looks really like it could be a dead on dupe. But I swatched them all to see.

So NY 57th seems to be close enough for me to say DUPE! Snap is a little to light. Not quite as blackened. And Gosh Black Passion is just a smidgen too dark. While I really do love Chimney sweep, NY 57th if you can still get your hands on it I think is the winner. Its a one coat opaque polish where Chimney Sweep is certainly a 2 coater. And the Dior brush is..... well, its the Dior brush!!! If you don't know what I am talking about, stop now and go directly to a Dior counter and pick up a tester. Once you have used the brush you will be in love as well. That being said the Butter London polish is a great deal at almost half the price. If you aren't willing to pay Dior prices, or missed out on NY 57th, then go for it!!!
