ABC Challenge Q is for Butter London Queen Vic

Hi everyone! Sorry for my lack of posting these past couple days. I missed you all! Unfortunately I got in a pretty bad car accident the other day. My car is totaled and the guy who came to tow it was surprised I was walking away from that accident. So I am insanely thankful that I am totally okay. I found out the guy who hit me was texting while driving. So PLEASE don't text and drive. You can really hurt other people and yourself so just don't do it. Nothing is more important than someone's life. Anyway on to the polish!

I only have one Q polish in my entire stash, and she is a beauty. Butter London Queen Vic, is a gorgeous plummy color with lots of pink in it. It kind of changes with the light. It can look anything from plum to maroon depending on the light.

Formula on this was the usual amazingness that is Butter London. It was pretty opaque in one coat but I did two out of habit. I would have been safe with one thicker coat. This also dried really shiny without topcoat! These swatches are two coats with a coat of Seche Vite.

The first picture is most color accurate. This polish is very pretty and I think it would be flattering on a variety of skin tones. I totally recommend this for anyone, especially purple lovers. I'm not even a big fan of purple polish and I'm really loving this. Hope you all like it!

Be sure to check out all the lovely ladies Q manis!

  5. This is such a pretty color. I have to admit, the $15 price tag really scares me off, but I have not heard anything bad about Butter London. I may have to try some on the next sale.

  12. Beautiful mani. Queen Vic is one of my top five BL faves!

    FYI, I only buy BL when they've got their big sales going on. It's always a good day when BL's go for $9.99 a pop.

    Their formula is first rate!
