NOTD: Butter London "Kerfuffle"

Today's notd is for Butter London's "Kerfuffle." I debated over getting this polish since I thought it too closely resembled one of my favorites, Essie's "Van D'Go." But I have great friends, one of which got me this for my birthday a few weeks back.

Polish Comparison: Collective Mint Polishes

Mint nail polishes are one of my weaknesses. When Butter London's "Fiver" was released, I told myself that 6 mint polishes were enough. I did not need a 7th mint polish that retailed for $16. However, I splurged anyway. To make my addiction somewhat useful, I decided to do a collective comparison of all my mint polishes. No two are dupes for one another, though you may find that some are fairly close.
Enjoy!

NOTD: Butter London "Molly Coddled"

Today's notd is for Butter London's "Molly Coddled." This polish a pretty cool lilac/lavender color.

NOTD: Butter London "Fiver"

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

NOTD: Butter London "Macbeth"

Today's notd is for Butter London's "Macbeth," a bright red polish with a pink undertone. In the bottle, it seems like a rather ordinary polish, but on the nails its beautiful.

Polish Comparison: Butter London "Trout Pout" vs. Essie "Cute As a Button"

I haven't done any polish comparisons for quite a while. But I find them quite useful so I'm going to do one today between two colors that I have been rumored to be dupes, Butter London's "Trout Pout" and Essie's "Cute As a Button."

NOTD: Blue Ombre Nails

When ombre nails became a trend (last spring?), like most trends (shatter, matte, those weird outlined ones, even the simple, yet very popular, "accent" fingers), I didn't really go for it. I like my crazy brights and I enjoy doing special manicures for holidays, but on a day-to-day basis I'm very traditional with my manicures. However, when I couldn't decide which blue to wear, I thought it'd be a chance to go out of my comfort zone and do something more fun.

NOTD: Butter London "Wallis"

Today's notd is one of my favorites for fall and winter, Butter London "Wallis."

Battle of the Baby Pink Polishes

I have been meaning to compare my baby pink polishes for some time now, but seeing as I knew they were wearable through all seasons, I put it off. But here it is for you today! I intend to compare Butter London's "Teddy Girl," Revlon's "Pale Cashmere" from the Colorstay line, and Essie's "Fiji."

Butter London "Blagger"

Today's nail of the day is for Butter London's "Blagger," the perfect royal blue. From just looking at the bottle, the color can appear rather boring and not worth the price, but this is one of those colors that makes me smile whenever I have it on my fingers.

Battle of the "Penny" Polishes [Part 2]

In my last Battle of the "Penny" Polishes post I ranted about how much I disliked Revlon's "Copper Penny." With Ulta's recent BOGO sale I decided to pick up Butter London's "The Old Bill," a color described as "a burnished copper nail lacquer with a beautiful antique patina." I picked it up, hoping it would be the color I wanted "Copper Penny" to be.

Though I include the swatches of Butter London's "the Old Bill" and Revlon's "Copper Penny" aside Essie's "Penny Talk" for comparative purposes, this post will focus mainly on the Revlon and Butter London. For more photos of Essie's "Penny Talk," you can find Part 1 here.

Butter London "Teddy Girl" & OPI "Pirouette My Whistle"

Today's nail of the day was another one of my experiments with glitter polishes. I enjoy trying different glitters over varying polishes to find fun combinations. Today's combination is Butter London's "Teddy Girl" and OPI "Pirouette My Whistle."

If you would like to see more photos and a complete review of Butter London's "Teddy Girl," you can find mine here. It's definitely one of my favorite pinks!

NOTD: Butter London "Trout Pout"

Today's nail of the day is Butter London's "Trout Pout," a creamy salmon pink. I thought twice about getting this color like I always do about polishes that are more than $10, but knew I had to add this color to my collection.

Butter London "Teddy Girl"

Today's nail of the day is Butter London's "Teddy Girl," a perfect creamy baby pink. "Teddy Girl" reminded me a lot of Essie's "Fiji," which I have a full review of right here. "Teddy Girl," however, has more pink to it, whereas "Fiji" can look more chalky.

Butter London "Slapper"

Today's notd is Butter London's "Slapper." "Slapper" is a beautiful, bright teal/turquoise color. I had been staring at "Slapper" for quite a while, and after weeks and weeks of returning to the same Butter London section in Ulta, I finally decided to just snatch it up. And I'm very pleased I finally did!
