Butter London: Dressing Table Worthy

I'm in love with Butter London polishes. Besides the fact that they apply so well, they are so darn pretty displayed on a side table or dresser. Which is the idea behind this holiday set.


I'm such a sucker for cute packaging and this is no exception. Look at the adorable little cardboard vanity the two colors are displayed on!





My boyfriend surprised me with the Fairy Lights & Tart with a Heart set. The other set includes Black Knight (black/pink/blue/silver in black base) in place of Fairy Lights.





Tart with a Heart is a glitter polish; pale pink with a hint of grey added. The glitter is small and iridescent (green, blue, purple & orange).


♥ Fairy Lights is described as a "liquid metal" rose pink.

Most nail polish companies put out dark greens, glittery reds & golds for the holidays. Not that I don't love those colors, but it's nice to see a unique holiday collection from Butter London. 


Where to Buy: Ulta
Cost: $25 (normally $14 each) for 11 mL/.4 fl. oz

Pretty Polishes: Butter London Haul

I picked up a few polishes during the Ulta's Butter London BOGO free sale last week. I had chose 4 colors, however, the fourth color (Muggins, a really pale lilac purple) color was sold out and did not ship. I was disappointed because I was most excited for that polish. 


From Top, Clockwise:
♥ British Racing Green 
♥ Big Smoke 
♥ Queen Vic


Because my fourth Butter London didn't ship and I didn't want to swatch only 3 nails, I decided to swatch HRH (the purple) which I had picked up awhile ago.

(L to R) Big Smoke, British Racing Green, HRH, and Queen Vic


Just from these swatches, I can tell I'm going to really like the formula of these Butter London polishes. They applied nice and evenly with two coats of polish. The only problem I had was with the polish I had purchased previously, HRH. I'm not sure if it's just my particular polish, but it applies very uneven.

I chose three colors that I think will work perfect for fall. Now bring on the fall weather!
