Reader's Choice Monday ~ Butter LONDON Victoriana

Butter LONDON Victoriana

Hey dolls! Today's winner was Butter LONDON Victoriana with 75% of the votes. I bought Victoriana  during Ulta's BOGO BL sale last year, which means this has been untried for over a year. Victoriana is a gorgeous dusty blue that is filled with silver shimmer. The formula was amazing! It almost applied itself. Two coats of Victoriana were used in the photos below.
Love Victoriana! This shimmer is gorgeous and it puts me in the same mindset of a more muted Zoya Skylar.

For this week's poll, I have a couple of neutral/nude polishes for you to choose from. I haven't worn this type of shade in awhile. The poll will close on Friday as usual. Many thanks to all of you who take the time to vote!

Latest Free Purchase ~ Butter LONDON Disco Biscuit

Happy Pink Wednesday dolls! Last week I used a few Amazon gift cards that I had saved up from using Swagbucks to purchase Butter London Disco Biscuit. This polish has been on my wish list since it was released. Disco Biscuit is a hot pink jelly that is filled with blue glitter. It must have a little bit of a neon pigment in it as well because it dried to a bumpy, semi-matte finish. I used two coats over Essie Super Bossa Nova because I've read on several blogs that Disco Biscuit takes 3-4 coats for opacity. The formula wasn't problematic at all.
I like Disco Biscuit, but I'm not nearly as enamored as I thought I would be. By the description alone, this polish should be right up my alley, but something about it isn't making me that happy. The blue glitter only really sparkles in the sunlight; it was barely noticeable indoors. Maybe that's what it is. Oh well, you can't win them all.

If you'd like more info on Swagbucks, feel free to visit this old post I made explaining it and sign up through my referral link.

Butter LONDON Bluey

Hey dolls, I've been wearing Butter LONDON Bluey since Friday night and I still don't want to take it off! This was one of the 4 BLs I bought during the Ulta sale a few months back. Bluey is described as a slightly metallic dark peacock blue and it is gorgeous. The formula was flawless and was opaque in 2 coats.
I am in love with this shade! I've been getting compliments left and right on how great Bluey is. I really do hope that all BLs aren't this great...$14 is still a bit much for me.

Butter LONDON Lady Muck

Hey dolls, today I'm wearing my first Butter LONDON polish called Lady Muck. I ordered this a few months ago when ULTA had the huge BL promo. Lady Muck is described perfectly as a powdery periwinkle blue, slightly on the grey side and infused with pearl pigment for a soft, sexy sheen. The formula on this was nice, as I would expect from a $14 polish. The brush was a little thin for my liking though. While the first coat went on sheer, Lady Muck was completely opaque with 2 coats.
What a gorgeous and sophisticated color! I love the softness of this blue and the pearl-like shimmer. I don't know why it took me so long to use this one, but I'm glad I finally did.
