Hey guys! So I was looking at alllacqueredup.com and I was reading her new post about the Butter London fall collection. The inspiration for this collection is from the late and legendary Alexander McQueen. I've always looked up to his talent in fashion and to me, there is no better way to truly appreciate your gratitude towards a person by capturing their essence in a color. Why? You ask. Well, if you really think about a person you know and love...what color would they be? Would they be glittery? Matte? Neon? Red? Blue? The list goes on and on. Don't be frontin' I know you're thinking about it now. Anyways, the color All Hail McQueen from the collection didn't really stand out to me. After all, at first glance it just looks like another boring nude color. Don't get me wrong, nude nail polish is a great look...but not every one (including me) can pull it off. I've tried EVERY kind of nude and light pink. I even made my own nude polish once by adding my Bobbi Brown loose powder to clear nail polish and painting it on. I hated it! I hated it so much in fact I took it off even before it even had a chance to dry. Once again I'm WAY of topic. When I visited butter london's site, I naturally skipped over All Hail McQueen because by the looks of it, it looked like something my Grandma would wear. I read a description of the color because the picture online didn't do it justice and I'll admit, i was a little curious. It described the color as a champagne pink nude base with holographic glitter in it. Now that's more my speed. I didn't even see the glitter in the picture on the website. Low and behold, the lovely blog all lacquered up already had posted about said color. I looked at the pictures of All Hail McQueen and I instantly fell in love. I need this color!!! The glitter is so tastefully done. It isn't chunky and kid like. No, instead it's fine and understated except at the same time absolutely gorgeous. Like many glitter polishes I've tried, the best seller Almost Famous by OPI for Sephora included, the color was sheer, streaky, and the glitter slid down my nail and settled at my cuticles. Not to mention, most glitters are a b**** to remove. Butter london has great formulas so I know removal won't be an issue. Plus you have a base color so even if the glitter is a little annoying to remove, the nude base color will help. I really hope to purchase this before it sells out! I recommend you do too! I'll hopefully post a swatch of it on soon! Thanks!
