Good morning!! It's a new week in Gosia's ABC challenge. I'm all Q'd up, tee hee, with Butter London's All Hail The Queen, formerly known as All Hail McQueen. I wish BL hadn't changed it. From the earliest I can remember reading YM and Seventeen magazines, Alexander McQueen's designs have really spoken to me. Even now, a fashion ad or image will come up and totally grab me, and it will invariably be something from the late, great designer's house. The polish's former name kind of meant something to me, lol. The best speculation I've found is that BL ran into some legal troubles with it.
Here's the color, in two coats.
All Hail The Queen is a stunning and subtle nude scattered holo with a high gloss and a flawless application. There's seriously nothing I don't love about this polish, and it will live on in my mind as All Hail McQueen. <3
In other news, we celebrated my little seester's birthday this weekend, so the Nail Polish Fairy came bearing gifts for all! That's China Glaze Rare and Radiant on the left (because one seester wanted that one), Zoya FeiFei on the right (I was hoping the birthday girl would hate it and give it back. lol.).
OMG, wait until you see my post today:)' Love this color! Grat picture - those are all the poses I make after getting nail polish too!
ReplyDelete..."grat"??? "great" :)
Deletelol. We had to hold the pose for, like, five different cameras. And I somehow knew you'd be sporting this color today, too <3
Delete...actually, I am digging so deep for a "q" that I am using the DUPE for All Hail the Queen (Orly Nite Owl). So not only is it not All Hail the Queen, but neither of them start with a "Q". oh well...
DeleteThat's not so deep! ;) And seriousl, how many times have I taken creative license with this game? lol. Thankfully, Gosia's rules are quite flexible. ;)
DeleteI would have been hosed! I have no "Q" polishes....maybe there with be a "Q" polish when the James Bond collection comes out!
DeleteThis looks so great on you! I see swatches of it and think that I want it but I don't think those light colors look good one. I'll just drool over your swatches :)
ReplyDeleteEmbrace the light, Kelly! lol. You'd probably be able to do some neat art with this one. Feel free to continue drooling, though ;D
DeleteIt's beautiful! I love neutral colors that have sparkles in them. It's fun and classy at the same time. :-)
ReplyDelete~ Yun
I so agree! This is the best kind of polish, in my opinion. ;)
DeleteI love this picture!!! Haha!! And I bet she loved FeiFei so now you gotta get your own!!! Hihi :))
ReplyDeleteI gotta wait til Wednesday with my Q post!! Damn blue Mondays and Zoya Tuesdays... :)). But coincidently I'm doing FeiFei for tomorrow!!
Well, I don't know if she loved it, but she wouldn't give it back, lol. So yes, I must go get my own! ;) I can't wait to see your FeiFei photos! I honestly was not convinced I needed that one until I saw it in real life.
DeleteHaha Cute picture!! I love A Hail The Queen :) Oh man I just picked up Feifie too!! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!! Swatch it soon, ya hear? ;D
DeleteI want this so bad! It looks beautiful! And cute pic! :)
ReplyDeleteI've been kind of stoked for Q day to arrive because I've had AHTQ in my polish cabinet thingie for a couple weeks and I've been holding out for this day, lol. And thanks!! We were having fun. ;)
Deletesuch a pretty color!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it, though? :)
DeleteI agree. I really wish they hadn't changed the name either. McQueen was an will always be my favorite designer. He merged artistry and fashion so well. I still think the color is amazing though :)
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly. :)
Deletelol such a cute picture of the three of you!
ReplyDeleteGreat polish! Butter London has such amazing colours, and this is no exception!
Yep, I <3 Butters! And thank you!! :)
DeleteLove the picture! You guys look like triplets!
ReplyDeleteWe do, don't we? The middle one has said she ought to dye her hair red, too. ;)
DeleteI NEED All Hail the Queen sooooo badly! Looks so gorgeous on you <3
ReplyDeleteThank you!! You do need it. ;) Essie showed Orly Night Owl yesterday witha white sweater, so now I'm convinced that that is how I must wear this color... I think I'll be wearing it a LOT come winter. ;)
DeleteThis is nice for Q.
ReplyDeleteI didn't think I'd like this polish when I saw it a while back, but i think I take that back now. It's actually quite nice looking
I like it a lot ;) It definitely feels more winter to me, though, the more I ponder it. lol. ;)
DeleteWe do, now :) :)
ReplyDeleteLove the adorable pic of you and your cute sisters! I'm jealous. I just have a boring brother. Lol. I passed this BL on Copious a couple of weeks ago. Seems like you should have done this post sooner so I could see how truly AWESOME it is!! *sigh*
ReplyDeleteWell Andrew, you should totally go enter my leetle giveaway, and then perhaps you can win AHTQ! Ehh??
DeleteI've been coveting this polish for awhile-- looks great on you!
ReplyDeleteCat!! I've missed ya! I found one lone bottle of this in Ulta, and it was stashed behind the Yummy Mummies on the lacquer/lippy display. I get the feeling I lucked out and foiled someone's plans, lol. ;)
