I received a bunch of Butter London nail polishes a few weeks ago through a new website called Coterie. They set up beauty offers, similar to Groupon. I saw the deal for Butter London - 3 polishes, plus a topcoat for $36. Not bad! Someone on Reddit posted 2 coupon codes for the deal, so I got 2 sets.
All Hail the Queen was my favorite, and the color I immediately set my sights on. I wasn't too familiar with Butter London beforehand, so I wasn't too sure of their colors, but I still have never seen a color like All Hail the Queen.
I didn't even bother cleaning up this mani before taking pictures of it. I was so excited to show off this color! All Hail the Queen is a holographic nude - I have holos and I have nudes, but this is the only color I have that combines them. It's totally weird, but somehow it works.
It's so shimmery. Sorry about my gnarly cuticles, I went upstate last weekend and the cold is killing them. I just got my hands on some CND Solar Oil though so hopefully it works out the way I've read!
This is 3 coats with Butter's Hardwear topcoat over them. It's not really a mannequin hands color, but AHTQ is a really nice nude regardless. In the shade, you can see how the holo sorta disappears - I bet this would be a really good office color. I loved putting this color on - It really was like butter. 2 coats was just a little less opaque than I wanted for my swatches, but it would have been sufficient otherwise.
Overall, I really like All Hail the Queen. It's a really unique color, and I'm glad I chose it!
