Butter London The Black Knight

Butter London The Black Knight - one coat layered over Wet n Wild black creme


The Black Knight, a gorgeous black jelly packed with a myriad of multicolor micro glitters, is exactly how one would envision it; sparkling stars shining through the darkest of night.



Here I layered one coat of The Black Knight over Wet n Wild black creme, and finished the mani with a coat of SV topcoat. I like how TBK is not glitter hungry, and the formula is pretty much perfect!

Does The Black Knight remind you of another hot Black Knight, aka Christian Bale from the Batman trilogy? Out of all the Batmans, he is hands down my favorite, so I will leave you to drool over this :)

Butter London - All Hail The Queen with Essence Circus Confetti

Hello my readers! Today I have for you Butter London All Hail The Queen. I wanted to go for a more neutral color after all the glamorous holiday mani, and AHTQ seems like the perfect choice.

Butter London All Hail The Queen (two coats) layered with Essence Circus Confetti (one coat)

Then I thought being New Year and all, why not jazz it up a little with Essence Circus Confetti? I really like how this turns out; a mani that is not in your face but still fun!

AHTQ two coats with no top coat
And here is All Hail The Queen on its lonesome. It is a neutral / beige with tiny micro holo glitters. It applies on nails like butter, and dries to a very glossy finish. Initially I thought this looks like a boring polish inside the bottle, but it makes me feel more sophisticated and ladylike after putting it on my nails, I really love it!

Butter London - Queen Vic

I received Butter London Queen Vic from an awesome swap I did with Jeanie today! She has sent me many beauties, including the much coveted Unicorn Puke, which I will be showing you soon!

Butter London Queen Vic - two coats with no top coat

Queen Vic is a lovely berry purple with a semi jelly base. Although Queen Vic looks very squishy on my nails, it is still completely opaque with two coats. The formula is excellent too, as it glides on so easily.



I think Queen Vic suits me well; even my bf says this color spectrum (i.e. purple/blue) goes with my skin tone lol.  I am in love with Butter Londons, the formula is always flawless, and their brushes reminds me of the Chanel ones. At $14 a pop though, BLs don't come cheap, but I'm lucky to have contacts over the US to get them for me whilst they were on sale, yay!

A special treat to myself - Butter London Victorianna

Butter London Victorianna- two coats with topcoat and base treatment
Butter London Victorianna has always been a lemming of mine, and when the lovely Michele offered to get it for me from the US, I finally caved!


Victorianna is a lovely teal packed with gorgeous tiny silver flecks. It looks almost like a foil polish, but not quite. I have heard good things about BL polishes before, and the formula does not disappoint. Dry time is very quick, and the polish glides on the nails with ease. Two easy coats and I get full opacity, love it!


I cannot think of any dupe of Victorianna, making this polish that much more special. Now I hope the wear time is good, since I plan to wear this polish until the end of next week, as I would be flying to Sydney in two days time, yay!

Check out the cute logo on the cap!
Since I will be away for the next 2 weeks or so, my blog will take a mini hiatus. However I do have something exciting to announce upon my return, so watch this space girls!
