Butter London Steampunk Brass Goggles, Dubs, Pink Ribbon, Earl Grey and Right As Rain (Part 7)

Butter London Brass Goggles
Brass Goggles is a black and gold glitter topper. This was three heavy coats.  You will never get this one opaque on it's own.. don't even bother.

Butter London Dubs
Dubs is a feminine pink and silver glitter.  Fantastic formula. This was two coats and can be worn on it's own.
Butter London Pink Ribbon
As you can see, Pink Ribbon is not pink at all.  It's sheer off white.  Very nice, actually. I don't normally like these milky whites but this one works for some reason.  Great for a job interview and a base for delicate nail art.  This was 3 somewhat thin coats.

Butter London Earl Grey
Earl Grey is a metallic dark grey with silver shimmer. Very streaky but this is more obvious in the pictures. In person it looks a bit smoother.  This is a thick formula so two coats was enough.

Butter London Right As Rain
Right As Rain is my favorite of this group.  A slightly metallic periwinkle blue with silver shimmer.  Wow.

Butter London Steampunk Macbeth, Knees Up, La Moss, Baroness and Clockwork Heart (Part 6)

Butter London Macbeth
Macbeth is a pretty medium pink/coral creme.  This one loves to separate in the bottle. Just an FYI to people who love consistently pretty display bottles.

Butter London Knees Up
Knees Up is a beautiful metallic red.  This would be excellent under a Christmas themed nail art. That yellow flash that you see in the pictures do not show up on the nail.
Butter London La Moss
La Moss is an oxblood red jelly. Everyone needs at least one oxblood in their collection. This is 3 heavy coats.  I find red jelly polishes hard to deal with. It's a winter classic. Immediate Stainer Alert!!  Wear a few layers of base coat for this one.

Butter London Baroness
Baroness is a burgundy metallic. Absolutely beautiful in real life but streaky on camera.

Butter London Clockwork Heart
Clockwork Heart is a satin matte deep brown purple/red.  3+ heavy coats needed for full opacity. This one screams "90's" and "work appropriate".

Butter London Buckie, West End Wonderland, Yummy Mummy, Tart With A Heart and All Hail The Queen (Part 5)

Hello! After a brief hiatus from the blogging world I am back!  I want to jump back in where I left off so next on my list is...

More polishes Butter London and the Steampunk collection!
Butter London Buckie and China Glaze No Plain Jane. (Terrible pic, sorry!)
Buckie is a duochrome with purple and olive (which shows up on the nail in the right light). This is 3 coats and totally opaque.  Definitely don't DO have another polish like this one.  China Glaze No Plain Jane.
West End Wonderland
West End Wonderland is a gold glitter than can be worn alone with a few coats.
Butter London Yummy Mummy
Yummy Mummy is a nude taupe. 
Tart With A Heart 

Tart With A Heart seems to be a cult favorite.  It's a gold glitter with a little holo thrown in.  Very subtle and work appropriate. Eh, too subtle for me! I would have to put this over another color. Maybe a nice blue!


Butter London All Hail The Queen (Last swatch in direct light)

All Hail The Queen is a nude with gold shimmer/glitters throughout.  In the bottle it has a beautiful violet shift but this does not transfer to the nail.
