Natural Light (5 Coats)
I had first fallen in love with this polish when FleurDeForce had posted a picture of it on Instagram and talked about it in a video about a year ago. I looked for this polish at tons of stores, The Bay, Holt Renfrew and even a few salons that carried Butter London, but I never had any luck finding it, until two days ago when I finally came across it at The Bay.

There were a few deterants for buying this polish but I loved this colour and searched for it so much that I just could not resist. Firstly Butter London polishes retail for around $20.00 Canadian, which to me is extremely outrageous. Secondly this is my second Butter London polish, I never re-purchased from this brand because its over priced and I was super disappointed with the polish that I previously bought (Snog) because the formulatuion wasn't that good, it chipped pretty fast and the colour looked different on my nails as opposed to in the bottle. So I was very disappointed. But luckily it seems like Knackered is a lot better!!!

Now lets talk about Knackered...I really love this polish is a beautiful turquoise and purple duochrome with a very fine silver glitter through out the polish. Also Knackered is a very sheer, thin polish so on average 4 coats should be applied to make it opaque. In the photos above I used 5 coats, and you may be thinking that 5 coats of nail polish is insane!!!!!! but since its such a thin polish putting on 4-5 coats is perfect and it dries very fast.
Overall I am really happy with this polish, although I still can't get over the fact that it cost $20.00 I still really love it, and if I had to go back in time I would buy it again!!!
So guys what is your opinion on Butter London, would you spend $20.00 om nail polish???
Thanks for reading...
XOXO Gaborillaa :D
I've never tried any Butter London products because of the price. However, this one seems lovely and I've always wanted to try a duochrome polish!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, you always have the prettiest nail posts :)
Awee thank you, your comments always make my day :D anyways if your looking for a polish that is similar I would recommend Nifty Shades of Grey by Seporah by OPI, because its a very similar duochrome except it doesn't have the shimmer!!! I'll actually be writing a post comparing the two
DeleteThe nail colour looks lovely on your skin tone! Maybe if the price wasn't as steep I would purchase it!

Thank you so much, I think this polish would be amazing on a variety of skin tones!!! And I know the price is pretty crazy, but there are dupes and I'll actually be writing a post about that in the future :D
DeleteThis color is so generically gorgeous. I absolutely love Butter London. My favorite is OPI (I will miss Sephora OPI) or Nails Inc. (they are both the most long-lasting, pigmented, diversified brands) followed by Chinese Laundry, Deborah Lippmann, and Milani. Estee Lauder's polish is amazing, but it doesn't come in a variety of shades. Recently, I have learned to appreciate Color Club which is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThis is only my second ever Butter London polish, although they are really nice I just cannot justify the price :P but I do love OPI and a new favourite of mine is Julep, I find that some of the colours stay on really well, especailly when I use my sally hansen InstaDri topcoat!!
