Butter London Victoriana

Today is my favorite blue.  I guess this isn't a true blue, it is more of a teal leaning blue with silver shimmer.  I had to include Butter London in my list of favorites because they have the BEST formula, a great color selection, and wear amazingly well.  Not to mention their cute little bottles that line up perfectly! I'm a sucker for how a well organized nail polish collection looks all lined up by brand and color.  When I get settled in a new place I will finally get one of those acrylic wall racks to display my polish in my bathroom.  Anyways, here is Butter London Victoriana:


On the top of my wishlist is Nails Inc Baker Street, as soon as I can make it to a Sephora store I'm sure it will take the place of my favorite blue!

Brown Polish Swatches

I decided to swatch all of my brown polishes to see how they compare.

Sally Hansen Plum Licorice

I got this polish as an extra in a swap and haven't tried it until now. I'm not usually a fan of deep browns but the shimmer in this polish is gorgeous in the sun. 
 
 Essie Lady Godiva

I am such a huge Essie fan so it is a rare occurrence when I absolutely hate one of their colors.  This brown is the exact color of chocolate syrup but for some reason I just can't like it at all!  I think this one will go into the swap pile. 

 Butter London Flash Pack

Don't let this picture fool you, the shimmer in the polish is hidden and it looks like a light brown creme in almost all lighting.  Not a bad color though and great formula!

 Butter London All Hail The Queen

This is one of my favorite Butter London polishes!  The micro-shimmer is holographic, but it looks like a normal nude from a distance. Very work appropriate with a little bit of extra appeal.

 OPI You Don't Know Jacques

 A nice medium brown, perfect for the fall season. 


 Which one is your favorite? 

Zoya Lotus + BL No More Waity Katie

Today I painted my nails with Zoya Lotus, a gorgeous dusty purple with pink shimmer. Zoyas don't seem to work with the chemistry of Seche Vite so I used my Revlon top coat for this picture. 


The base color of Lotus looked very similar to Butter London No More Waity Katie so I decided to do a coat on top to see how it looked.  I have tried to wear No More Waity Katie on it's own, but it is so thick and takes about 3-4 coats to be opaque.  I really enjoyed this combo, hope you do too!


Leave a comment with your favorite purple nail polishes so I can add to my purple addiction!
