butter LONDON’s new fall collection for 2010 is a tribute to the late, great, fashion designer Alexander McQueen.

Obviously I didn’t know the man, but have been reading fashion magazines for most of my life, and was well aware of his unique and quirky style. I think a few of these nail colors definitely match that same vibe that he gave off with his clothing line. Oh and did I mention one of my all-time favorite MAC Lipglasses is one that he created with them? Yep it’s called White Magic and sadly, I am running out of my back-up tube!

This collection includes five colors, four of which I have to show you today. The one I don’t have is called Old Blighty and it’s a brick red creme.

The formula on these was really quite awesome. They had great coverage and nary a streak in sight, even with the yellow one!

Victoriana

Victoriana is a vintage looking type blue with loads silver shimmer. This is a really gorgeous, amazing blue, and the second I applied it, I fell in love. It’s VERY opaque also, you could almost do one coat. I have nothing else like this color. This was two coats.

Good Monday morning!

I hope you all had a great weekend. Today I’ve got an eagerly anticipated new collection from butter LONDON called Jelly. This is for spring 2010.

The three colors in this collection are all sheer, juicy, shimmery jelly polishes. The idea behind these was to wear either one coat for just a wash of color, or multiple coats for more impact. You can also mix and match them.

I admit, the idea of sheer polishes doesn’t excite me that much. I am a fan of the seriously opaque, so while these are not my taste per se, I can totally appreciate them for what they are meant to be.

The application was really great. As expected they are very sheer after just one coat, but build up nicely after three. I didn’t try layering them yet, but can imagine a whole world of possibilities! Peep them out!

Chuffed

Chuffed is a sheer tangerine jelly with shimmer. Chuffed means to be very happy with yourself or pleased about something in Jolly Old England. This was the sheerest one of the three and you can see here even after three coats, you have very definite VNL (visible nail line). It reminds me of a popsicle!

Hey there!

I have a sneak peek at butter LONDON’s spring 2010 collection which is called JELLY.

There are three colors in the collection, and they are all sheer and jelly-like. They are meant to be layered, and can also be mixed and matched!

I’m not sure of the exact date that these will be sold yet, but am thinking sometime in February.

I will have swatches of these soon!

Good morning all!

Today I’ve got Butter London’s new fall 2009 collection called Fashionista’s Favourites. It’s made up of five new colors, and one particularly stunning green…

The formula on these is thick, as all Butter London polishes are. This can make them a little hard to work with. The key with these is to really make sure each coat is dry before you apply the next one or you will wind up with globs of polish at the tips, and cuticle drag.

One great thing about this collection is that it has the new bottle tops! YES they finally listened to our complaints and made the rectangle top so that you can pull it off, and use a “normal” round wand. Check it out below.

Whoo hoo!
