butter LONDON Wallis & Bluey for Fall 2011 Swatches, Photos & Review

butter LONDON Wallis Bluey butter LONDON Wallis & Bluey for Fall 2011 Swatches, Photos & Review

butter LONDON’s fall 2011 collection includes both Wallis & Bluey, two colors who nearly escaped my grasp!

Wallis is actually a color I had in my online shopping cart a few weeks ago at Nordstrom, but then I browsed around too long and it sold out in the meanwhile! That’s what I get for lollygagging. But last weekend I was in Nordstrom and going down the escalator I saw right at the landing a display of butter LONDON polish. Good planning on their part because there was no way I could just walk by without looking. I saw Wallis and grabbed it fast! Then I saw Bluey and decided she was worth it as well.

butter LONDON Fall 2010 Collection Swatches & Review

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.

butter LONDON Jelly Collection for Spring 2010 Swatches & Review

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!
