NOTD: Butter London "Fiver"

Today's notd is for Butter London's "Fiver," a pale minty/seafoam green.


The formula on this polish is a bit streaky. It's definitely not one of Butter London's better-formulated polishes. I needed 3 coats for complete opacity.

I love mint polishes in general so this one was a winner for me.

I'm still in the process of comparing this with all my other mint polishes. However, through looking at some of the swatches, I cannot find a single dupe in my collection. It's bluer than some, but not as blue as others. Comparison post to come!

[Edit (05.29): per comment request, here is a quick comparison w/ Essie's "Mint Candy Apple"]


 I hope that helps!

  2. Oh I have been lemming this for forever and a half!

    Do you have Essie's Mint Candy Apple? I have the Essie and just wanted to know how they compared.

    1. Mint Candy Apple is quite a bit bluer. I added a quick swatch for you. (:

    2. Wow! Based on photos, I always thought they'd be the same but not close at all! Yes, purchase justified!

      Thank you so much for taking the time to add the swatch in!
