Hi friends!! Continuing with Butter London week on la blog, I have a couple of the Colour Clash fall/winter polishes to show you all. I totally love what Butter London's done with their last two polish collections, thinking outside the box when it comes to color and encouraging us to do the same. So many gals are saying they think the summer and fall collections should be transposed, but I loved the neutral metallics of the summer polishes and I love the bold and brightness of the fall offering.
Wellies turned out to be a favorite for me.
Wellies is a bright chartreuse without a hint of brown or dustiness, a surprising and punchy neutral. It's even and streak free in three coats and the formula is sublime. I've said it before, and I'll say it again-- Butter London has their cream formula down to a science and it's so great to grab a light shade, even, and know it's going to behave and be good.
One of my favorite clothing items this summer has been a pair of capris in this very shade and when I say this color is surprisingly neutral I mean that it looks great with other brights, but it also looks amazing and edgy with dark jewel tones, particularly navy blues and purples. Wellies is going to be seriously fun to wear this fall.
Wellies and the rest of the Colour Clash collection are available for $15 each at Ulta and on butterlondon.com. Like Butter London on facebook to stay abreadth of specials and new releases.
Thanks for reading and have a lovely day!

This is so so so so awesome! What a bright and fun colors:) You wear it well.
ReplyDeleteThank you!! I know it'd look amazing on you, too :) It's just right up your alley right now, also :)
DeleteWhat a fun and unique color! Its like an ugly color that looks good, lol.
ReplyDeleteIs it weird that I don't think it's ugly? Lol ;)
DeleteThis is such a cool color and looks great on your nails! I will have to check this one out!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Margo! It's a delightful shade, lol, and one I'd be stoked to see more of in fashion, too.
DeleteThis reminds me of Sweet on Pete from the Tinkerbell collection...only I think it's maybe a touch greener? It's really bright but it's a nice color. :)
ReplyDeleteYes!! I thought that when I saw Yun's post. Sweet on Pete looks to have a touch of brown in her swatches and I thought that's what differentiated the two, but Wellies has a dirty quality in my photos that isn't present irl, so who knows...maybe they're dupes!
DeleteSomething that has come out of my polish addiction has been my love for these acid greens-- and this is no exception! Love the color and the brightness of this.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it interesting how our tastes for color get more complex? I totally agree with you, I never would have given this color a second look before I started blogging. It's an acquired taste, this one, I think :)
Deletegorgeous shade. I love such not so common shades a lot! lovely swatches :)
ReplyDeleteMe, too! It's the whole unexpected thing. It's also why I like the collection as a whole so much. And thank you again for your lovely words :)
DeleteA very refreshing and popping color, love it on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Karine, it is totally refreshing :) :)
DeleteOooh I love how bright this is! I love that it's all bright, without any muteness. Makes it look fresh and fun for fall. :)
ReplyDelete~ Yun
Exactly! And, it makes me want a pair of real Wellies in this exact color :)
DeleteWow, that looks fabulous on you!! What beautiful swatches.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!! :)
DeleteHi Liesl, you floor me once more with those beautiful pictures - I love the color and the name!!! And YAY to another outside the box collection of BL!!! I look forward to the Pink and White - saw it on IG ;-)!!! Oh and I love that wellies looks so bright and bold - have a lovely day xxx
ReplyDeleteActually, it's just the pink, but it's funny you mention the white because I'm lemming that one hardCORE and I'm really hoping my Ulta will finally have then in this Saturday. Lovely day to you, too, sis <3
DeleteThis is an amazing color! I'm in love... Congrats on having butterLONDON share it on their Facebook page! You deserve it :D
ReplyDeleteAh, thanks, sweets :) That was pretty cool :)
DeleteA stunning color!
ReplyDeleteI agree :)
DeleteWow so bright!! :) Do you know how it compares to Did it On Em by OPI? Because if they are different enough, I definitely want to grab this shade!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea. From photos, this one looks to be a more vibrant and truer green but photos can be deceptive.
DeleteLove this colour! I need this in my life haha! :D
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it :) It looks like a you color :)
DeleteWoah...Wellies is bright and fun looking. I like it!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great? Not something I would've ever pictured myself liking but I've already worn it twice :)
