Being from the south I was naturally drawn to the name of the product and I'm a bit addicted to nail polish anyway so I knew this was going to work out. I have to preface this by saying, I had acrylic nails for years and I'm always disappointed in the longevity of regular nail polish. Let's face it, I don't care how good a polish you buy, if it is on your natural nail it just isn't going to stay as long as acrylic, gel or shellac.

Butter London polish doesn't have any magic staying power either, nevertheless, I greatly enjoy the freedom of being able to change polish whenever I choose and not have to plan my schedule around a fill in.
Like OPI, Butter London also has fun names for the colors. My personal favorite is "No more waity Katie." Come on, we all know that the cutesy name is half the fun!
Other than having cool colors with cute names, the main selling point of this polish is that it is non toxic. Unlike most other nail polish is it formulated without formaldehyde (isn't this what they put on dead people so they don't smell?), toluene, DBP or parabens (I don't even know what those others are.)

I never really thought about the fact that my nail polish had those icky things in there! Think about how often you put your hands near your mouth! EEk! I have a ton of other polish and I confess I will probably continue to use them, but after using Butter the thought of using the others does freak me out a little. I sort of have to psych myself up to use some OPI.
"It's ok, Kitsey! Think of the cute name, not the formaldehyde!"
I do have to say that the price for Butter London polishes is pretty steep. My boyfriend gives me the judgmental face whenever I buy some. But you know what, there are some things in life you just shouldn't skimp on and being from the south I'd say Butter is definitely one of them!

Kitsey, You don't have to be from the South to love butter. You just have to not be a vegan. Hell, they love it too but deny themselves the pleasure.
ReplyDeleteLynda is also a nail polish enthusiast (read nut) and she favors Chanel lacquers. She says they last longer so they're worth the extra money. That kinda worked on me so maybe you should try it on Morgan. Her current favorite is "Strong" from the Soho collection. It's kind of like you turned blackberries into metallic car paint. Very metallic and sometimes black and sometimes a very deep purple, kind of like a psychadelic eggplant. Chanel was going to call it 'Stigma" but wimped out. I usually get her one at Christmas. The first time I got confused and asked for "Stigmata>" Happily, the clerk knew what I wanted.
Lately, she's been covering it with one of the Deborah Lippmann glitters, which it seems you have a full compliment of. I should introduce you two. If you need a mani-pedi pal, she's your girl.
