Butter's Come to Bed Red Nails
This is the nail polish I wore to Paris. I was looking for a red creme to match my Behnaz lipstick.
This shade is Behnaz in a nail lacquer bottle. The perfect poppy red with depth and oomph.
Butter polishes contain no Formaldehyde, Toulene, and DBP.
The bottle states proudly, Color not Carcinogens.
The color ranges in the line are unique. There is a great mouse brown called Fash Pack.
The bottle has an awkward square top that makes application tricky. My nail tech bitched a bit.
However, it is all worth it based on it's staying power.
I am here to tell you that Butter polishes last up to three weeks between manicures. My nails have never looked this intact and fresh with any other nail polish brand.
My average length of a manicure is one week. After that time period, my nails start chipping and looking worse for wear. If I go longer than two weeks, there are broken nails and genuine chaos.
Three weeks is just not done.
Butter polishes can survive temperature changes, stress, constant typing, washing dishes, general cleaning, holding cold drinks in ice bars and lots of hand shaking.
It survived it all with minimal wear and tear.
It seriously impressed me and my nail tech.
And we are jaded when it comes to polishes.
I give this polish and the whole line high marks for quality.
Visit Butter's site: http://www.butterlondon.com/
The site is lovely and the descriptions are fabulous.
Here are some snippets:
Union Jack Black: Jet black and uber-glossy, this goes on like liquid patent leather. Bewarned, you may have the sudden urge to wear 6 inch stilettos and carry a riding crop.
and
Fash Pack: An edgy and unusual colour. Putty meets mushroom. Sounds strange and wrong, but somehow it works, like deep fried Mars bars. (an actual English delicacy).

Did you order it from the company? Or is it available in the US? MUST HAVE IT...
Just found out that we have this product in Toronto Canada & going to check out on my lunch!! Interested in Fash Pack & Yummy Mummy!!
It's available at Holt's in Canada and at some air port kiosks (check their web site for locations) here in the US. One good tip is that if you order through Amazon.com, when you buy 3 or more, the shipping is free. Shipping through the Web site is expensive!
I think the bottles are a pain to screw the tops back on, but Thames, Henley Regatta, Charlie Dickens, Chimney Sweep, Teddy Boy and Fash Pack are awesome!
I really want Yummy Mummy and Tea with the Queen in my next order.
Hi! Can you tell us what color you are wearing in the picture? I don't recall seeing it in the post. Thanks!
Shefall - it's "Come to Bed Red."
I read about ButterLondon and checked out the site. The site is very nicely arranged and cool to look at.
I bought 6 bottles of polish (before the price jump) and they took over a month to arrive. Not that I expected standard shipping to mean overnight, but 5 weeks seemed excessive.
Fash Pack arrived completely separated in the bottle, which was disappointing, and as cute as the bottles look, the square lids filled with polish during shipping so the insides were gloppy. I had one broken bottle, and while customer service was really friendly, it was over a month before I got my replacement.
The squared lids and short brush make for tricky application as well as it is hard to tell how much polish has collected on the stem of the brush and in the lid before applying to the nail.
The colors are fabulous, and I applaud the cancer-free formula, but Zoya does it better for $6 a bottle and they arrive in less than 10 days if you order online.
Teddy Boy is a workhorse shade, Chimney Sweep and Big Smoke are great colors and wear well. I think Fash Pack is hyped for no reason as mine, despite rigorous shaking, never quite combines and doesn't last a day without massive chipping. And the color makes this pale girl look infected. Yummy Mummy is also not the "perfect shade for everyone". The lid/brush is hard to twist and feels like it will crumble if you seal the bottle. I don't get the expense of this product.
fashpack has been the it shade listed on their site for at least 6 months--I wish they would showcase a different color more often.
it would be easier to swallow the twelve buck price tag if they offered free shipping or if the polish was available locally in drugstores/salons. I can buy at least *two* OPI polishes online for one butterlondon shade.
I'll be publishing my review of Butter's Nail Foundation, Yummy Mummy Lacquer and Hardwear Topcoat on the 24th... And in fact, I just got back from a pedicure using Portobello Pink. So proud that this fantastic polish hails from Seattle!
Your nails look fantastic! Now I want to try Butter :)
I emsiled them on MOnday to see where else they sell (besides Seattle and in the Sacto airport asnd am stull awaiting a response..
it seems like their website is not well run but i am still ordering (but from amazon). forget 3 weeks, if their polish lasts even 1 week, i will be thrilled!
Wow! I am a Seattle gal and have gone to the retail store for it and loved the experience and the product, though it sounds like the online stuff is a pain, the services at the store are reasonable and fun and I love the colors. I had a manicure done at Christmas that was called Ruby Slippers where they layered Saucy Jack over West End Wonderland and it looked amazing! I haven't been able to get the same affect with them at home so I think another trip to the store is due!

I just got my butter polishes last week, and so far I'm in love. I got the "spring" starter pack, which has two shades--Chancer, a glittery red, and Billy No Mates, a light gray shade. Chancer is gorgeous--well, if you like something glittery and deep cherry-ish red on your nails--and the other shade looks great in the bottle. They came in a cute box with a small "butter london" nail file. Chancer has lasted me through several dish washings so far, also. The shipping was steep, but I wanted to try the shades based on the whole "3 Free" philosophy, and I'm a total sucker for anything UK-related, even though it's not a British company. I have a wish list started, too...and I didn't know they had these on Amazon! I'll have to check them out.
b-glowing.com sells Butter London and has free shipping for orders over $75. They'll order any polish that isn't shown on their site if you send them an email.
I'm not so sure that I believe this nail polish lasts so long. I get my nails done very often and they always chip like the next day. I have tried using many different top coats and its like a lost cause. But if you say this nail polish lasts for awhile maybe I will try it. Are there other colors though? I'm not a fain of red.
