Butter London Nail Lacquer

This review is based on one of the glitter polishes I own - a gorgeous turquoise in colour. I have always loved wearing bold colours and many coatings of the glitter leave an absolutely exquisite looking result. However like any other glitter polish, it's a bit of a drag to try and clean off and if you ever choose to peel it off instead, it will rip layers off your nail. Every time I feel like wearing this polish I keep that in mind. Apart from that I love the rectangular shape of the bottle, it looks very classy and adds a touch of sophistication; it separates itself from most other nail polishes purely by the shape. Would definitely recommend this to a friend!

I only own this polish in one shade and thankfully didn't pay full price. The shade is lovely (don't remember the name but it's a purple based grey) but the formula isn't that great, the brush is smaller than I prefer, the formula is too thin and runny for my liking and it is very sheer. It's a decent polish and I can't give to much of an opinion because I only own one shade and I know it can vary from shade to shade but I much prefer Essie, Sally Hansen and Rimmel to this.

I love nail polish but hadn't tried Butter London Nail Lacquer before partly due to the availability and partly due to the price, it's a bit pricier than other polishes.

I have this in the colours Champers, a beautiful pearlescent rose gold, and Stag Do, a grey-based dark forest green, which I purchased from another BR member. I really like the formula, not too runny or thick but just the right consistency. I found Champers was opague in two coats and Stag Do in one.

The brush of the polishes is a little smaller than normal but I actually like that as I found it easier to paint smaller nails without getting polish everywhere. I also like the square, sleek packaging of the Butter polishes which are very classy.

I can't give much in the way of longevity as I only wear polish in the weekend but I found they lasted on me pretty much the same as OPI or Essie.

I wouldn't purchase these at full price but I would if they were on special!

I had my eye on these polishes for a while, they were popping up on BR and at Big Bucket sales. Weirdly I never saw them in store, so recently I decided to acquire some. I found the only shade I liked was Giddy Kipper, so I added it to my bucket and off I went.

The lid confused me the most - you lift off the big square and underneath is a little brush with a cute bird print on top. Whether it's supposed to do this, I have no idea.

The color I got is a gorgeous indigo purple in the bottle, with a bit of shimmer throughout. That's the only reason I picked the color up - I'm a sucker for purple! It's true to color on the nail, but in photographs it comes up more blue, and in some lights it looks more blue as well. But it's still lovely.

The formula isn't overly buttery, and towards the end of one nail the formula got thick very quickly and was gluggy and hard to work with - something I don't like in a polish. The brush is small and not overly easy to use. The color payoff is good though, and you can get away with one coat although two is best.

Unfortunately this polish began chipping the same day, and because of that I wouldn't repurchase. It might just be this shade but I don't like the formula or staying power.

This range didn't cut the mustard with me, I'm an avid Opi fan but was willing to give this range a go, very pricey but I managed to find a few on sale. I loved the range in colours and found it hard to decide which to go with but in the end my favourite was a emerald green colour, it went on easily enough but I had to do at least 3 coats of colour to get the same as the bottle. It didn't dry as quick as Opi does and it didn't last nearly as long either. Bit of a disappointment but maybe the lighter colours are more suitable, I'd probably give it another chance but just the one more.

As per the review title I find the Butter London range to be a bit of a mixed bag!

I absolutely LOVE their glitter polishes - they're so packed with pigment and glittery bits that you can get away with using just 1 coat if you want to, something I've never found with any other brand. The only downside is that they're quite a thick/ chunky glitter so you cant get a smooth finish so if this bothers you then you wont like these (it doesn't bother me though).

On the other hand their normal colours are pretty standard I think. A great colour range but for the price you might as well buy OPI or even Revlon as consistency/ wear and tear wise they're nothing special.

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!

They have a huge range of cool colours, except its a bit watery and applies really yucky and is really expensive compared to brands that also have lots of cool colours and apply alot better and easier. I wouldnt buy another one unless i HAD to have the colour and I couldnt find it in another brand.

I have Wallis (Olive golden green) And i love it, if they werent so expensive id buy more, they have a decent shade range, i love the names and i do have to admit that for some weird reason, the names of the polishes are sometimes the ultimate seller for me. im just weird like that lol, love the packaging and the fact they are 3free which means less chemicals. I also like the fact that the scent is not strong at all. very subtle, i hate that nail polishy scent :(

I have so many Butter London nail polishes in a range of colours and I must say that they are fantastic! The only down side is that they are $30 NZD each so they are on the more expensive scale. I do prefer to buy the glitters than the cremes as they are harder to find dupes for. However the wear for the glitters are shorter than other brands, which is a bit annoying but its worth it as all my friends always give me compliments when i wear Butter London polishes:)
