butter LONDON Lippy Autumn Winter 2012 Press Release

butter LONDON LIPPY A/W 2012 Colours Include:

Toff	Colour: A darker, dustier, brownish variation on a rose pink. Stop to smell them. The roses, not the toffs.	Definition: A slightly derogatory name for a member of the British upper class.
Come to Bed Red	Colour: The sexiest red in history, by butter LONDON.	Definition: ENOUGH SAID! A butter best seller for “Coco” wannabes.
Tea with the Queen	Colour: On the pink side of tan, very neutral, but never boring. Understated and exceptional for work, or obviously, tea with the Queen.	Definition: A highly prestigious invitation extended to important and boring members of the British public.
La Moss	Colour: Vampy and full of red wine, just like its inspiration.	Definition: Adding the prefix “La” to anyone’s name implies that they are a diva. A fashionista’s nickname for England’s most famous model.
Queen Vic	Colour: Stunning, elegant and classy. Red wine meets cranberry. Fit for a queen.	Definition: Beloved monarch, responsible for many of London’s most beautiful landmarks. (Also the name of about 3,000 English pubs).

butter LONDON Gobsmacked - Swatches and Review

This evening I have butter LONDON Gobsmacked to show you. It's part of their Autumn/Winter 2012 Collection. To see my other reviews of this collection, click the links: Scouse. Squatter and Shag. Cake-Hole and Trustafarian. Brummie and Lovely Jubbly.

Gobsmacked is a charcoal grey glitter polish - tiny dark charcoal grey (and possibly silver, though I can't tell if it's just the charcoal ones catching the light or actual separate silver ones) glitter pieces in a clear base. I've layered it over a black polish for opacity but I used three coats alone on my thumb to show you how it looks worn alone. I used two coats over the black. It's a very textured polish, so you will need Gelous or a heavy top coat if you want a smooth-feeling finish. I didn't have any application issues at all.

The next photo shows the thumb with the glitter alone. I used three coats over my bare nail.

And the closeup (I've done it over a swatch wheel so you're not distracted by my stained nails.)

This one is pretty, but it's probably my least favorite of the new Fall Collection just because I don't personally find it that interesting. The formula and application, however, were great and if this is a look you like, you'll need this one.

What do you think of this one?

butter LONDON Scouse - Swatches and Review

This evening I have butter LONDON Scouse for you. This is one of the new butter LONDON Autumn/Winter 2012 polishes and this one is supposedly a Dillard's exclusive. Of course you can also get it directly from the butter LONDON site.  You can find their link on my sidebar under Some of My Favorite Places.

Scouse refers to a person who hails from Liverpool, England. Haven't worked out if it's good, bad or neutral yet. LOL - maybe one of the Brits will clue me in. Scouse is a royal blue duochrome glitter polish that flashes purple. It has pink, purple and blue micro-glitter pieces that catch the light just right.  Application was smooth and easy and I used 3 coats for full opacity. The only problem I have is that I can't seem to photograph it! I haven't mastered blues or purples well, as far as color-accuracy, so a blue/purple duochrome really evades capture. But I've done my best. As usual, there's almost always ONE photo that is perfectly color-accurate, thankfully. It's a gorgeous polish, but very much like a foil in appearance, so not my favorite on me. It also removes like a foil.

So there she is - isn't she stunning? I don't know why I'm not a fan of these types of finishes on myself. I truly do find them lovely on others.
