Butter London Knackered

Today I have Butter London's Knackered to share with you guys. This is my first time doing a swatch and review for Butter London. I've been seeing the polishes around but never decided to try it, but as I was browsing Macy's one day, I found them, and decided to give it a try.

I did Knackered over Rescue Beauty Lounge Mismas. It was too sheer on its own and I didn't feel like applying 4-5 coats.


Knackered is a sheer duochrome mixed with green, purple, and holo glitter. This is done with two coats over Mismas.

Angled few to show some duochrome

Here's the flashes of green, with the base color still showing.

I love how that the base color still shows. My pictures does this polish no justice. It is gorgeous!! I'm so happy that I got it. What makes this interesting also is the holo glitters. It's still pretty alone but with purple underneath it brings out the duochrome. I should've took a picture of it alone, but I was in a rush to put it over another color. The formula was pretty good. It was smooth and I had no problems. Butter London polishes usually retails for $14 per bottle. Pretty decent price.

Well that's all I have for today. What do you guys think of Knackered?

rebecca's favorite polishes of 2011 - #8

Hey everyone! I'm really excited to show you today's polish! So let's get right to it.

My #8 favorite polish is Butter London - No More Waity, Katie. (If you live under a rock, the name refers to Price William's now-wife and the long wait she had before marrying into the royal family.)

I wanted this polish for 2 reasons:
1) The color is awesome, and I love the glitter.
2) My nan was always interested in the royal family so I figured it would be neat to have this, and it reminds me of her.

Butter London is not sold here so I swapped with Brie for this baby!

Let's see the swatches!

For these photos I layered 2 coats of No More Waity, Katie over 2 coats of Zoya Caitlin.
Caitlin is the perfect underwear for NMWK - it's a bit sheer on its own and it is easier to layer it!

I just love that it is this great neutral color with some very pretty lilac glitter that looks so cool suspended in the layers of jelly.
Here's how it looks on its own:

As you can see it is a bit sheer in places and I find it hard to apply the three necessary coats neatly. I will continue to layer it!

Do you guys have Waity Katie? I know a lot of people were disappointed with this one, but I sure wasn't!

I wonder what Kayla chose for her #8 polish! Go check it out!
