Playing with Polish: Butter London

Posted on May 29, 2012May 16, 2015 by Elaine

Since spring and summer are all about colour I thought I would try to be a little adventurous with my nails. Those who know me KNOW I’m not really one to try out new nail colours. I pretty much stick to soft pinks, purples and nudes. The occasional dark red in the Fall I like but the brighter colours I tend to leave to my toes.

I wanted to step out of my comfort zone a little bit and try out some colours that I didn’t have.

I ordered “Bossy Boots” because it looked like a really nice fresh mint colour. Reminded me of all the pretty mint clothes I’ve been seeing around.

Instead here is what it looked like on me.

I have to say I hated this colour on me LOL!  It looked like a dirty green on me – perhaps I have too much of a yellow undertone to my skin. I wore it for a couple of days hoping it would grow on me but I had to take it off.  Don’t let this deter you, though, this colour got really high reviews! Just wasn’t for me.

I also tried out “Trout Pout”

 I was really attracted to this “pinky-coral” colour so I wanted to give it a shot.

I really liked this one!  It’s brighter that what I normally wear but I have to say it made me feel really girly and springy!

I’m sure you all know but Butter London is “3 free” meaning it does not use Formaldehyde, Toluene or DBP (dibutyl-phthalate) and does not use parabens.

To shop Butter London and other great nail polishes visit Nail Polish Canada. Right now they are offering FREE SHIPPING on any Butter London polish. All you have to do is add a Butter London polish to your cart and the system will automatically offer you free shipping – no code needed!

  • I got Botox! (Technically, I got Nuceiva, which is a different brand of neuromodulator, but does the same thing) I’ve been feeling uncomfortable with the fine lines on my forehead, and wanted to try out neuromodulators! It was easier and much less painful than I anticipated, but definitely was a bit of an emotional journey. ➡️ I got 24 units during this visit, at a cost of $11 each. (Cost will vary depending on brand of neuromodulator, the clinic you choose, and the person who does the treatment) ➡️ This treatment will probably last around 3 months, and then will
  • Fresh nails for Spring! This was my first time getting a dip powder mani. It was so interesting! Apparently it’ll last about 3-4 weeks. I like that I didn’t have to cure the nails with a UV lamp, and that there was less filing than with biogel. I decided not to go with extensions today, but that’s an option as well. So far I’m a fan! Do you prefer shellac, bio-gel, dip, or natural nails? —————————————————————————— #torontobeautyreviews #mytbrfave #tbrcontributors #springmani #dippowdernails #dipmanicure #toronto #torontonails #torontopr #dipnails #nailinspo #bluenails #shortnails #opidippowder #organicnailbar #organicnailbarto #kingwest #freshnails #nailstagram #simplenails #nailsalon
