Butter London Manicure Essentials Haul

I needed a new set of their incredible base/top duo which includes “Nail Foundation” and “Hardwear”. This duo is pricey ($25 @ Nordstrom) but they are worth the money and go a long way. I also got their acetone free polish remover “Powder Room” to try out.

Polish Haul!

Lately I have been on an Essie binge, I love their polish and they have been around since 1981 so they have a great formula and all their polish goes on nice and smooth. I have been so excited to get the Luxeffects collection and I can't wait to test them out and show you. I also picked up their base and top coats to try out as I just ran out of my Butter London Base and Top... So far so good!!

Here are the Essie Luxeffects, "Shine Of The Times", "Pure Pearlfection", "A Cut Above", "Set In Stones", and "As Gold As It Gets".

The top row is two top coats, "Good To Go" and "Matte About You", the base coat is, "Fill The Gap". Bottom row are a few colors I picked up, "Absolutely Shore", "Dive Bar", "Cocktail Bling" (in previous post), and "Borrowed and Blue".

Make your polish last longer!

Make your polish last a few days longer with some tape and a complimenting color. I used OPI “DS Radiance” over my current polish which is “Knackered” by Butter London.

The Black Knight

Butter London”The Black Knight”. This picture doesn’t do this polish justice, it’s a black polish with pink and blue glitter.

Butter London Top and Bottom

“Nail Foundation” and “Hardwear” by Butter London. Hands down, the BEST base and top coat I’ve used yet, and I’ve used a lot!! Worth the extra money because your polish stays on a lot longer w/o chipping.

Pearly Queen

Butter London “Pearly Queen” topped with OPI “Spark De Triomphe”.
