It seems I’m on a personal mission at the moment to pack my nail polish box till the point of overflow – after my CHANEL purchases (post here) and these Butter London badboys I’m now unable to close the lid. Great, I think it might be time for a clear out. But after a quick dash round the new Selfridges Beauty Workshop area – a definite must-visit – so many hard to get hold of in the UK brands, beauty bars and a whole three walls decked out with nail polishes (yes I counted) all in one place, it’s a bit of a makeup mavens heaven. And I ended up with these two polishes making their way into a Selfridges bag…
I’ve been eyeing up Butter London for a while. They always seem to release quintets of on-trend shades with fabulous names – Trout Pout anyone? And after perusing the stand for a good 10 minutes, I decided to pick up All Hail The Queen and Bossy Boots. The shimmer-flecked taupe All Hail The Queen, didn’t seem like an obvious choice for me, I’m not usually a lover of frosted polishes – but it was one of the most neutral shades available in the Selfridges stash so by the powers of neutral-elimination of course it was always going to end up mine. And after doing a quick scan of online swatches I’m very pleased it is. I’ll keep you updated on this one. The second pick-up was a blogger-enabled purchased (notably Lily and Meg), Bossy Boots – the perfect pistachio ice-cream hue. Not the most seasonal offering, but a pretty one nonetheless. I painted this on last night and I bloomin’ love it. It does take three coats mind, but it applied well, dried quickly and the brush is nice and fat. I’ll see if I can Instagram a picture later. The best thing about these polishes is that they are ‘3 Free’, meaning they are non-toxic and don’t contain nasties like Formaldehyde, Toluene or DBP. Whoop!
Formulas like this though don’t come cheap and a bottle of Butter London goodness will set you back £12. As I said I grabbed mine at the new Selfridges Beauty Workshop, but you can pick these up online from their online shop. Now it’s time to butter myself up…
