Let's kick off this week with a SWEET or NOT Product Review for Butter London Nail Lacquer. Can you believe I've never tried Butter London? Well they had a 30% off promotion several weeks ago, so I decided this would be a great time to try them.
Butter LONDON
Sweet - Bittersweet - Not Sweet
SWEET
This was an easy review for me.
3 Free Nail Lacquer and a Lesson in London Terminology
Butter London is free of 3 things: Formaldehyde, Toluene, and DBP (Dibutyl Phthalate). They believe in COLOR, not CARCINOGENS. I like that! The names they pick for their nail lacquer usually are in reference to something London-ish. HaHaHa So I added pictures on what each meant below. If I'm wrong, please feel free to correct me in my comments section. I'm sure some have several meanings (and would love for you to tell me about them).
It's Thick!
This polish is very thick, yet it applied with ease. I'm still amazed by this. I'm really shocked! How do you do it Butter London? I usually detest thick nail polish, because it never lays right, bubbles and smudges easily. You can easily get away with one coat. The only color I applied more than one coat with, was the Cheeky Chops (yellow). The drying time was just like regular nail polish.
Punchy Pops of Color
I couldn't get over the pigmentation of each color! As you can see in the pictures, they are truly vibrant and shiny. I also want to say, the colors were true to the samples (all the bottle pictures to the left of mine) on their website. There have been so many times I would order a color from a nail companies' website, only to find out the shade is not what I thought.
A Precision Brush
The brush Butter London uses for their nail lacquer is very small, which made application really easy. I find the smaller the brush, the more control you have when painting your nails.
Durability and Removal
My polish stayed on for 7 days before I saw any chips. Removal was easy. Just a couple of swipes of nail polish remover and I was done. Again, that usually doesn't happen with a THICK nail polish.

I've been wondering if this polish is any good. Great review Kim, this polish sounds fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win Scouse.
Also I love the blag illustration, too funny.
If it really lasts seven days then I might have to buy one if I don't win! I really want Tea With The Queen, I have been looking for a good nude color!

What a great giveaway! I love Butter nail polish for the same reasons you cited here. I would love to win some more in the Cheeky Chops or Royal Navy!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I pass their nail lacquer collection in any store I am totally drawn to it. They do have gorgeous colors and they try to make it as safe as possible which is a plus. I would love to try cheeky chops and Blagger. Trout pout and Slapper would be wonderful too. :)

Hi dear, i hadn't known about the flooding, I am hoping that there was not too much damage or injury? Cant believe I hadn't known about this lovely brand before! Those colours are so attractive!
ReplyDeleteSo many great colors! That pink really pops!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably choose the Henley Regatta color - I need more glittery polishes in my life! :o)
Can't wait to see what other Olympic-themed stuff you come up with this week. I'm SO excited for the Games!
Whoohoo, giveaway that I can finally enter, LOL :)
ReplyDeleteI have a couple Butter London polishes in my stash that I still haven't gotten around to swatching since I have a bunch left to try! But I'll have to use one this week since the London Olympics are starting!
Cheeky Chops is such a great smiley face yellow! And of course butter yellow! I'd love to win that one. Thanks Kim! xo
Wow! You blog is truly sweet! I like London nail polish, and especially the fact that you can get with just one coat. You are welcome to my blog!
ReplyDeleteWould be great if you want to follow each other.

Sorry, Kim, didn't notice that you have an awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteIt was difficult to choose one shade from all those fabulous shades, but I decided on the Tea with the Queen! Love the shade and its name too!

I love each and every one of these polishes- you know I'm a nail polish fanatic right? :) I think Macbeth is my fave colour and I love how you paired them with the London equivalent.
ReplyDeleteLove the blue and the yellow one!
ReplyDeleteSo nice, so bright and so sharp on your nails!

These do look fantastically bright! I've seen these polishes everywhere, but you've never made me want them more. I am a follower and I'd love the color Bumster!
ReplyDeleteButter is really great (but since it's only 3FREE I'm a bit more of a fan of our polish that's 4FREE) I think you would like it even more ;)
ReplyDeletexo Mary Jo
Such lovely colours! I'm in Ireland though so I guess that rules me out :(
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised you found these to be sweet since Butter London produces good quality polishes. I love the colors you got! You should try their Nail Foundation if you get a chance. It's one of the best base coats IMO. I'm currently wearing Yummy Mummy ;) I'm in and I'd like to win a lacquer in Fairy Lights. Thanks for another fab giveaway Kim!
ReplyDeleteRowena @ rolala loves
Thanks Kim I've wanted to try them for a while! Slapper and Primrose Hill are my top colors but they make such great colors!
