Butter London in Fiddlesticks

Don't you just love that name!  I picked this up in my Christmas sales shopping I did on the 27th Dec, I'd popped into TK Maxx to see what they had in the way of beauty items and this was one of the things that really caught my attention.  I know this isn't exactly a brand new shade, it's been out for a while, but hey, it's new to me!











Excuse the slightly blurry image!  I bought mine from TK Maxx with a matching lipgloss for £8


They say "Full coverage, semi-matte, magenta glitter suspended in a raspberry base."





























My Thoughts

This was my first venture into Butter London nail polish and I have to say, I've been very impressed!  The main thing that struck me is the finish, as they say above it's semi-matte and you can really see that when you wear it.  It's the most unusual finish but that really makes it stand apart from others.  I didn't have a pink glitter polish in my collection so this has made the perfect addition!  It took me 2 coats for perfect coverage, but with just 1 coat it was near perfect.  As with most glitter polishes it did chip fairly quickly, I think I had a small chip the next day and after 3 days there was quite a lot of chipping - and that's with using the OPI base and top coat.

The brush was high quality and not too wide, so it was very precise.  All in all, I'm really happy with my first experience with Butter London!  I'll definitely be keeping my eyes peeled for more of their shades, I'd love to try their shade in The Black Knight - absolutely stunning! It looks like a galaxy :)

What's your favourite Butter London shade?

    1. Yeah the matching lip gloss is identical to the polish :D Very pretty, but very sticky, which isn't my favourite thing in a gloss :p

  2. This is stunning! I saw some polish and lipgloss sets in my TK maxx but they were all gold or silver, I'd have ran for this if they'd had it! xo

  5. You know I have been seeing the Butter sets in TKMaxx for a few weeks, and never took the plunge as I wasnt sure of them. But after hearing this then I might just pick on eup next time I am there. that colour is great but I swear all varnish chips quickly these days.
