september favs! if you've just joined me, i spent the month in swinging london: i wore all of my previously unworn butter LONDON polishes and found some truly awesome gems! the results? 2 to de-stash, 5 must-favs and 18 total polishes! because i mostly purchased these polishes at sales or discount stores, these bLs are the older 3-free formula (not the new 8-free polishes released now). i bought one or two online, from ulta stores during a 1/2 off sale, and many from marshalls and tj maxx. Whether buying them for full price, online, or on sale, butter LONDONs are always cruelty free 😇! first, a bonus polish! "trallop" (below) photo (above) from http://psychosexy33.blogspot.fr/2014/03/vernis-butter-london-collection-boho.html?m=1 "trallop" creme nude: very close to "mannequin hands" for me. i picked up this delightful nude creme half-way through my #monthofbutterLONDON. a one-coater (if you apply thicker coats). almost everything that I want in a nude! now for the de-stashes 😓 😫"fruit machine" (left) this pink swatch photo is the result of way too much hassle. the formula was way too fussy. love the barbie-color; hate the barbie-makes-me-feel-inadequate feels it gives me. 😭"mollycoddled" (right) needs to go, despite a beautiful color. the formula was difficult to apply and i am too old to fight with polishes! ... and now for the favs! 😍 1st, the honorable mentions ... now ... the top 5 favs! 'chimney sweep" this charcoal metallic is really special for both its color and it's application. brush strokes were hardly detectable and the color, a true charcoal (rather than a dark grey, almost black.) unique & striking. "muggins" purplish light grey creme i have worn this polish twice this month! I love this look for fall. it's like slipping into a light-weight sweater that is at once cozy and sexy! definitely a must-fav! "pillar box red" this really easy to wear (and to apply) red cremes is cruelty-free and fierce. a sexy staple to add to your collection. the nudes: "high tea" and "trallop" I've long coveted the bL nudes and I have found the two that match my skin tone the best and have terrific-to-work-with formulas.. "high tea" leans more yellow, while "trallop" leans a little more red. ❤️ them both. and my number one must-fav ... ❤️september must-fav❤️
"british racing green" this rich hunter green creme with gold & green shimmer is the polish that was promised. it resides on the iron throne of my heart as my hands-down (get it 😉) fav butterlondon and fav for september. so sleek and rich; look how "classic car" my fingers are! 💚💚💚 thanks for reading! what are your fav butter LONDON polishes? what are your fav brands?
