When I saw the Butter London Jelly Collection on sale at ASOS, I made a dive for my handbag and had my order confirmation sat in my inbox in record time!
The trio of polishes were a Spring 2010 release. 3 shimmery sheer jelly shades that promise some layering gorgeousness. They didn’t disappoint.
The image shows 2 coats of each applied over a black base.
Stroppy transforms into a blackened purple sparkle fest that reminds me of a vampier version of NARS Purple Rain.
Twee completely changes the hue to a slightly dusky purple with a more subtle sparkle.
Chuffed glitters all over the place… just beautful.
I can’t pick a favourite from the three, I thought I’d be able to… but they’re each quite different and totally mesmerizing in their own right. I can’t wait to try these over other shades… they apply like a dream, dry smoothly and rapidly with a glossy finish (no top coats in the above image).
You can also wear these shades sheer if you prefer, Kelly over at Vampy Varnish has some great nail swatches to show how they look applied alone. They’re a great option for sprucing up a tired looking manicure when you simply can’t be arsed to redo the whole lot… patch up any chips, grab one of these… 2 coats… brand new mani!
Tempted? If so… grab ’em while they’re still a fiver each – free delivery at ASOS! *siren/temptress dance*
How original, fun, creative and refreshing. love the concept. bottles are ace. love the ‘circus meets far west’ font on the bottle too.
Thanks for the heads up; I’d had my beady eye on these for a bit, and may have just bought all three, much to the disgust of the NatWest overlords! *walks off, whistling*
As if I needed any encouragement to go over to ASOS!
just ordered twee after my first butter experience today xx
Oh this is pretty! I love Stroppy over the black base!
what a great idea! the colours look lovely and the packaging is super cute!
