"God attack the Queen
Send big dogs after her
That bite her bum.
Let them chase after her
and rip her knickers off..."
-God Save the Queen, as revised by Eddie Izzard
Eddie Izzard is my hero, and I luff him :-)
butter LONDON offered 30% off online purchases last month, and I took serious advantage of their generosity. Five polishes were purchased, which saved me $21 off of what I would've paid instore, and that's including the cost of shipping. Yay, promos! I've got 2 of those 5 for you today. All Hail the Queen and Yummy Mummy. First up, All Hail the Queen!
I am IN LOVE with this color, which is surprising, because I normally gravitate toward non-nudey shades. Maybe it's the fine holo particles (or however you'd describe it) that give it that little extra something. I dunno, but it's truly lovely. All Hail the Queen pulls pretty taupey on me, but if you Google other swatches, you'll find it's more of a light beige color on some people. Maybe they use fewer coats? I've used 3, but it is opaque in 2. I personally prefer the darker color, at least on my fish-belly skin.

| Bath and Body Works is just up the street from where I work. |
 |
| That means I have more of these than I really need. |
 |
| Revlon Gold Coast layered over top. I freaking love Gold Coast. |
 |
| Like, for real. |
 |
| Left hand, with Gold Coast. Right hand, without. |

How about a little Yummy Mummy? Let's check her out.

| I could eat an avocado every day. |
 |
| Wishing I had one right now, actually. |

| Pat yourself on the back if you guessed that I would layer Gold Coast over this (pointer and ring fingers). |
butter LONDON wants to call Yummy Mummy a "medium beige", but I disagree. On me, it's more of a grayish taupe color with a subtle pearly shimmer. That sounds horrid, but it's really quite nice. Of these 2 shades, I prefer All Hail the Queen, but I definitely dig this little lady. Both are work appropriate, and would likely look good on any skin tone.
I purchased these through butter LONDON's website, but you can also pick them up at Ulta. They run $14/bottle, but if you like them on facebook, you can take advantage of the promos they offer for online purchases. butter LONDON is becoming a favorite of mine; I've gone from zero to ten of their polishes in the span of about 4 months!
**Okay, Blogger. WTF. WHY ARE YOU HIGHLIGHTING RANDOM BITS OF MY POSTS? If someone could please explain this to me, I would really freaking appreciate it.
