First Butter London. Had to be green!

Hello my dear readers,

Very exciting post for me today: I got my first Butter London polish!
I've been wanting to try this brand for quite some time now having heard/read so many good things about it. Well the day has come!

A while back, as I was googling swatches of these polishes, I fell in love with a color: Bossy boots. As I was observing how gorgeous it was, I couldn't stop smiling to myself because the name fits me like a glove! I feel ashamed to say this, but I've often been told that I can be a bit tough and authorititarian, although always well-intentioned and fair. My friends tease me about it and we always get a good laugh about the tiny little friendly tyrant that lives somewhere inside me! I've tried becoming more mellow, in vain. I guess that's just the way I am and believe that there are just somethings you can't really change about yourself.

On to the pictures:

Bossy boots is a beautiful yellow based seafoam green. A perfect seafoam green in my opinion (Mr Pantone agrees!).
I don't know if all Butter London polishes are like this, but the formula was great:
Opaque in 2 self leveling coats; no brush strokes, bubbles or bald patches. A dream!

I can't wait to try more of these, and won't have to wait too long because I went a little crazy and bought 6 of them!! I know I know, shame on me!

What are your preferred Butter London polishes? Any recommendations?

Thanks for reading :)

Oh! and I squared out my nails a bit and am not sure about the shape... What do you think suits me better??

  1. I LOVE this color! Saw it on one of the blogs and fell in love with it. This would be one of my first Butter Londons, too if I ever get around to getting one! I'm a huge green fan. The formula looks amazing and it's such a subtle yet unique pale green. Your nails look great too!

    1. Hi Elizabeth. Thanks for your nice comment!
      I was really eager to try Butter London polishes, and for the time being Bossy Boots is the only one I've had time to have fun with. But I must say, as much as I loved the color, the polish chipped after not even 24hrs... It might be me, it might just be this polish or a bad topcoat/basecoat combination, I don't now...

    1. Hi Chelsea,
      I could really picture you wearing this! I'm sure it would look good with your Gouda!! Just kidding!

  4. I love your nail shape! I wish I could get mine to be square! Love this green but am not a fan of butter London.

  5. Well thank you miss Fingers! You have a great nail shape! Why would you want them to be square and why can't you get them square?
