Butter London Nail Polish



I was first introduced to these polishes whilst watching a video on Fleur De Force's YouTube channel (you can find it here =D ). These Butter polishes make a regular appearance in the blogging and twitter world so when I was in Harvey Nichols in Manchester, I just HAD to buy one for myself. 

The colour selection they had wasn't great, they had a few of the normal polishes and a few of the Jelly ones. To be honest at first glance I wasn't thrilled with the colour collection, that was, until, I saw the colour TROUT POUT. I instantly fell in love with the colour as it is EXACTLY what I have been looking for for months ... bonus! 

The colour is a gorgeous coral colour which verges more on the pink side as opposed to orange, which I personally much prefer.



What I love about the packaging is the square top simply lifts of and underneath you find a simple round top with the brush attached. I love this design as the square lid gives the polish a clean and simple look while the round top helps you control the brush for an even finish.

Talking of finish ... I have found I only need one coat of polish as the colour is so intense. It dries super quick and has a glossy finish to it also. I would usually begrudge spending £12 on a nail polish but it was worth every penny in this case. 

If you have the money to spend on a Butter London polish I would say go out NOW and buy one from Harvey Nichols if you have one near you, if not, do not fear you can just click here to go straight to the Harvey Nics website and do some shopping from the comfort of your sofa!

Enjoy Your Day

NOTD pastels with glitter


I thought I would show off my nails and show you the colours I used to create this look. I absolutely adore all of the pastel nail looks I have seen around and I thought it was about time I created one myself and now the sun is shining more often it has really put me in that Spring/Summer mood.

The polishes I have used are from 3 different brands and I just pulled them out of my polish collection. I do my own gel nail extensions at home and I use natural tips as I don't like the french manicure look and I usually want something sparkly and colourful which is why I opted for this look.

So for my thumb I used this Elanor pale pink polish #406. This was just a very cheap polish I bought whilst working overseas but i just love the candy pink colour. Over the top I used Miss Sporty Sparkle Touch glitter. It has small silver bits of glitter and bigger bits of blue and purple and I think it is just fab.


For my index finger I used this mint green colour which is quite pearly in its appearance and I fell in love with it the moment I saw it. It is Miss Sporty from the Clubbing Colours range and only cost £2.99. I got mine from Boots but you can find it in Superdrug also.


The colour I used on my middle finger is from MUA it is shade 24 and a lovely matte lilac colour. I thought this was perfect for spring and I think I will be using this one a lot. This polish only cost £1 from the MUA website but you can also buy MUA products at selected Superdrug stores.


For my ring finger I used a Natural Collection polish. I can't see the exact name of the colour as it has worn off the label but it is a fantastic coral colour. It is more orange than I hoped for but it is one I could not leave on the shelf. This cost me around £1.99 from my local Boots store. Over this I used the Miss Sporty Sparkle Touch to make it look more pretty.


I used another MUA polish on my little finger, this time shade 9 which is a fantastic blue colour. This is slightly darker than I wanted for this look and I think next time I will try a lighter blue but I love the colour of this polish. Again it cost me only £1 from the MUA website which just makes it excellent value for money.


On my other hand I swapped over the colours so I used the blue for my thumb, the coral for my index finger, the lilac for my middle finger, the green for my ring finger and the pink for my little finger. I decided to do this just so it looked a bit different.

There you have it my NOTD which I love and I will probably have these nails for a long long time!

I hope you liked!
