My Butter London Nail Polish Picks for Fall

Butter London is a British nail polish brand that makes beautiful unique nail polish colors all without formaldehyde, toluene, and DBP.  Additionally to not having those nasty chemicals in the formula the polishes are a nice consistency, not to thick or thin, and they have good staying power on the nails.  I absolutely love the packaging it comes in.  They come in a rectangle glass bottle with a heavy bottom, and a glossy black top that pops off to reveal a more ergonomic brush handle that is topped with an image of a crown wearing raven.  The brush is on the thinner side which is really the only thing I don't like about these polishes.  I find that with the first coat I apply the brush doesn't spread out nicely on the nail and it tends to apply a bit streaky, however the brush does spread out more when applying the second coat and evens things out.  As with a lot of nail polish companies they come up with delightful names for their colors and Butter London has a wide range of shades and finishes.  Each polish is $15.00 and my fall picks from their line are Yummy Mummy, Lady Muck, British Racing Green, Big Smoke, and Branwen's Feather.  

Yummy Mummy is a medium nude that has a slight hint of grey in it and a small bit of silver shimmer in it that gives it a subtle sheen.  I applied two coats to my nails in the photo above, depending on how well I do when applying the polish two coats is enough, but sometimes things still look a little uneven and it can benefit from a third coat.  This color can be worn year round, but I particularly like it for an end of summer, beginning of fall shade.  I picked it up last year right around this time and haven't used it in a while.  As soon as I put it on it was love all over again!  The shade is so flattering and is said to work with all skin tones, and it gives such a beautiful subtle polished look to your hands.  

Lady Muck is a color that I picked up this year for another end of summer beginning of fall shade.  It is a medium dove grey cream with pearl shimmer.  This one was the easiest to apply and is applied to my nails using two coats.  I find this color to be really flattering on my skin tone.  As far as colored nail polishes go this one is nice and subtle.  This one is a favorite of the bunch and it will work well as a winter time shade after the holidays in January and February.  

British Racing Green is a dark forest green cream polish that has a small amount of green shimmer in it, however it does not look shimmery on the nails.  It is applied here with two coats.  As we get further into fall I like to wear darker polishes, and I this love this color green.  I love it for clothing pieces in the fall and why not have it on your nails to.  I love wearing bold seasonal colors on my nails because it is easy to change up and a relatively inexpensive way to add color to your look.    

Big Smoke is a dark denim color with blue and silver shimmer in it which gives it a metallic finish and is applied here using two coats.  It has some grey in the color giving it a more denim like color than being a true navy.  It is not an opaque cream like British Racing Green so you have to be more careful to get a smooth application.  It is a nice alternative to a classic navy cream polish for fall.  

Lastly we have Branwen's Feather.  I love a dark purple polish for fall and I am always on the look out for them.  This one is a really unique option.  The color is inspired by a raven's feathers which are black but have a purple sheen when the sun hits them.  Applied on then nails here with two coats I would describe it as a blackened plum color.  The base of the nail polish is black and it gets its purple color from the wine purple shimmer in it.  It has a silky sheen finish to the polish and depending on how the light hits it, the color transforms.  Sometimes it looks like a glossy black and other times it shows more purple.  This color is truly unique making it a good one to add to your collection.
