Cute product

It is adorable packaging . And it does take a few coats for it to have a nice finish to it. But the glitters are great and they pick up a lot of glitter so you don't need anymore than two coats for a nice ombré look or on top of another colour :)

Oh yes, i could get used to this

Butter Nail polishes, they weren't even on my radar 6 months ago, but after seeing them at a big bucket sale for around $12, i though i may as well try it, since i had heard good things about it.

The bottle is so cute. Its square, and quite flat. I just like this design because it is a little bit different to every other nail polish. The glass bottle is see through and gives you a good look at the colour your buying but i always google an online swatch so i don't get any surprises. I also actually really enjoyed the brush. I found it really easy to control where the nail polish went which meant no big clean up job afterward.

The formula is pretty nice. I found that only one coat was enough to provide great color, but i still did two because im used to doing two coats. I also found the last around 2 days with no top coats and around 4 days with a top coat, which is saying a lot because nail polishes seem to chip on my nails really easily.

I have googled butter nailpolishes, and they have an impressive range of shades and colour. It almost makes me drool. However, i find these really hard to track down. I have never seen them being sold in stores, unless its a big bucket sale, and when i find them online they are quite pricey.

So even though i would use these again, i would only be able to buy them if they were on special, otherwise they are way out of my price range. Even though the colour range and quality is good, i don't think it justifies the price.

Some of my favourites, but depends on the colour

Overall I do like Butter London polishes but I have found the quality of the formula does vary form shade to shade. Most of the colours I own are good and only take two coats to be opaque and with a top coat last up to a week. One shade I own however, is thin and after four coats still is patchy (Keeker). For the price I think that the quality could be a lot better and should be consistent across the entire range. They do have a good colour range though and I like the names of all the colours. In terms of the packing, I like the thin brush but I find the small handle difficult to use at times. Some of my favourite colours are Slapper, Blowing Raspberries and Muggins.

Style & quality

I got one of these given to me by a friend it's an electric blue glitter one. I was quite impressed with this nail lacquer the color is bright & vibrant and bottle looks stylish & of good quality. The lacquer itself i really like i thought the consistency was spot on especially for a glitter lacquer, 2 coats gives me full coverage solid glitter. I find that it lasts well on the nails also, all round i feel this is a quality product although i'm not sure about the price. I can't see myself spending $30 on a nail polish but if i saw it on sale i would be tempted to purchase if the price was right.

Butter London Nail Lacquer

I have to give this brand 10 out of 10 for their range of gorgeous colours. They are quite unique and stunning. I dont mind the square shape of the bottle, its a bit different. The lid is not your usual either. I actually pulled the square part of the lid off, and I wasnt sure if that was the right way but I managed to use the inner lid.

I applied the first coat to clean dry nails. It went on ok, though it isnt my favourite polish to apply. It dried quite quickly and I applied the second coat. The colour looked gorgeous and I was happy with the result.

I had high hopes for this but I did find that it chipped the next day at work, I was so dissapointed. I tried it again but this time I used a gel top coat from another range and it seemed to last a few more days. I believe I shouldn't have had to use a gel coat to make it last longer, but thats what it took.

Freebie

I got one of these free with a magazine in Sydney.... I love the name and the colour but it just didnt last as long as my other favs. Perhaps this is why this colour was free with a mag! I actually currently have it on my toes and had to touch it up again today..... Still a gorgeous colour!

Tips: Try a top coat ;)

Lovely shades

This line carries some amazing what I call very unusual shades which run neither cool nor warm and are wearable by a wide audience. My personal fave is the shade 'Aston' which is a gorgeous blush nude/toffee rose type of shade it is incredibly flattering to my super pale yet yellow skintone. Formula is lovely to apply, opaque within two coats, hardly any smell and 3 free which is a bonus (less chemicals the better) but the downfall for me is the wear time - these only last half the time my OPI's do and I get tip wear within a few hours, chips the next day with this polish which is disappointing. Also something about this formula does not react well to topical flea treatments on my dogs - even weeks after they have been treated if I brush through their fur with this polish on it starts to eat away and dissolve off of my nails - it is very bizzare but worrying and annoying so this is not the brand for me unfortunately.

great colours but ...

I only have one butter london polish. I was so excited when I finally bought one as the colours looked so amazing. Unfortunately I have been really disappointed with the formula. I find it really runny and you need three coats to get a decent opaque finish. The colours are great but I just don't think it is worth the price. I like the packaging although I find the brush a little on the narrow side. For the price I would rather buy Essie or OPI.

Pretty Colours

I brought two of these polishes, both in quite light pastel colours. I had heard amazing things about them however I've been quite disappointed in my experience. I found that I had to use 3 coats of the polish to get an even, not streaky coverage. This meant that the polish took forever to dry (I painted my nails at dinner, and got sheet marks in the polish overnight). I used both a base coat and a top coat, and the polish still chipped after 2 days which I found incredibly disappointing. I totally wouldn't buy these full price as you can buy polishes such as essie and OPI which are cheaper, and last longer!
