butter london swatches!

Today I'm excited to share a manicure featuring two of my new polishes from butter london.  I'd been hesitant to try butter london's polishes because they are so pricey, but I ended up treating myself to one for the holidays.  Luck for me, some of my friends (and fellow nail polish enthusiasts) also got me three butter london polishes as gifts!!!  I'm thrilled to have them as part of my collection, but also afraid of how many more I'll now want to get!

Today's manicure features the polish I bought ("yummy mummy") and one of the gift polishes ("all hail the queen").  Both polishes are a subtle beige/neutral color.  They differ slightly as while "yummy mummy" is a regular creme polish, "all hail the queen" has a shimmer to it.  


You can see the slight sheen of "all hail the queen" here on the left.

I went with my go to simple manicure: all one color with an accent nail (my ring finger here).  I used "yummy mummy" for my all over color and "all hail the queen" as my accent.

I love the simplicity of this look.  I know I will be using these polishes a lot in the future! 

Enjoy!

  1. Like the Buttah! Is it truly as superior as it has always seemed in its special nook at Ulta??

    I had a very bright french going on earlier this week to combat winter, but then realized I may want to go a little more traditional for my office party tomorrow. Rocking a matte french situation now :)
