Butter London All Hail The Queen

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.).

    2. ...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...

    3. That'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. ;)

  2. This 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 :)

  3. It's beautiful! I love neutral colors that have sparkles in them. It's fun and classy at the same time. :-)

    1. 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.

    1. I'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. ;)

  7. I 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 :)

    1. Thank 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. ;)

  11. This is nice for Q.

    I 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

    1. Cat!! 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. ;)
