Butter London Nail Lacquer

I was very disappointed when I bought my first Butter London. As a nail polish addict I was very excited to try it, only to invest a lot of money in a bottle of hype. The consistency wasn't very nice and was gluggy to apply, the brush wasn't very good and the colour didn't last long. Would not purchase another bottle, the one I have has only been used once!

The formula for Butter polishes are so nice and easy to work with - and the colour pay off is amazing. I have a shimmery brown shade which looks really lovely as a neutral sort of glam. I would definitely invest in more of these if they were a bit more budget friendly. This is definitely a splurge for me :) But well worth it.

I'm pretty impatient when it comes to applying nail polish but I love this brand because it's so easy to use. Finding the perfect shade of Charcoal (not to grey, not to black) used to be a challenge but I love 'Chimney Sweep'.

These are great and I have one of them, nice colours but very small packaging and pricey I think, not sure about value here?

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.

I have 2 Butter London polishes Tease (a sparkly pink) and Tart with a heart (sparkly pinky/gold), and i love them both!! The square type shape of the bottle is great as they store very easily. They apply nicely but can be a little thick, i just use a little nail polish thinner and they are fine. They are a little more expensive but if you can find them on sale grab some!!

I own 2 Butter London polishes, Artful Dodger (turquoise) and Cake-Hole (pink) and love love love them!

The formula of these is great, it applies really easily, I only need 2 coats, and it seems to dry reasonably fast.

I love that it does not contain some of the nasties that other polishes do, this makes me feel better about wearing them so often.

They are pretty expensive, I got them on special, just wish I could afford a few more!

I own about half a dozen of these nail polishes and I absolutely love Butter's formula. The colours are so vibrant and with two coats, they last for days, with or without a top coat. My favourite colours are the shimmery nude All Hail The Queen and the iridescent purply-gold Buckie.

My one gripe is that the brushes are very small and flat, which makes the polish difficult to apply for those of us without a steady hand.
