Butter London Wellies

*press sample

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.comLike Butter London on facebook to stay abreadth of specials and new releases.

Thanks for reading and have a lovely day!

  4. This 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. :)

    1. Yes!! 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!

  5. Something 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.

    1. Isn'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 :)

    1. Actually, 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

    1. I have no idea. From photos, this one looks to be a more vibrant and truer green but photos can be deceptive.
