Butter London No More Waity, Katie
If you’re waiting for No More Waity, Katie…stop. You can wait. Trust me on this one. This is my first bad experience with Butter London. I suppose you can’t win them all. Maybe if my expectations weren’t so high, I wouldn’t be so let down. I had read the not-so-glowing reviews, but that didn’t stop me. At least I bought it during Ulta’s BOGO sale with a $10 off coupon. So I’m only out two bucks!
It’s hard to describe. It’s a milky grey/dusty purple jelly-ish base with lilac microglitter. It’s goopy (technical term) and I had trouble with bald spots. There were patches with no glitter at all. I even waited until the first coat was completely dry before moving on. But there were bald spots in the second coat too (how is that possible?). I finally added a third, loose coat just to make it even. At that point it was just thick and gritty.
I finished with two coats of Seche Vite to smooth it out. It’s better, but still not the showstopper I was hoping for. Such a shame. I’m curious what was said in the Butter London boardroom as the creative team tossed around color ideas. To me, it’s just bizarre. Perhaps it’s an acquired taste.
Disclosure: At this time, I do not have any material connection to the brand or product used in this post.
Totally agree…this color seems so pretty but on my nail, it completely underwhelmed me and sheesh, so thick!! Looks good on you tho! Lots of Seche must be the secret…
I’m glad I’m not the only one. The color and formula are just so completely uneventful!
Urgh. No More Waity, Katie got me too. I tried so hard to love it because I got it as a combo at Ulta with a bottle of the Butter London polish remover for only $10. Ben was here when I tried it and even he agreed that it was no good. Ended up returning it. :(
Ugh, yes, this polish. I wanted so much to love it, but the formula is such a pain to work with.
Thanks for sharing! Now I know not to worry about buying this.
When I first purchased this, I felt exactly the same way. I hated the weird formula and felt super let down because it looked so promising. However, I have come to like this polish in the last year or so. Maybe it is an acquired taste as you wrote. And in all honesty, I think your mani looks fabulous.
Too bad because I really like the colour! :/ Thanks for the review..I won’t even think to buy this one!
At least you didnt waste too much money. In new Zealand butter London polishes are 30 bucks each..!
How disappointing. The formula suckage doesn’t show in your application though!
Oh no. I bought it but haven’t worn it yet. Now I’m scared.
totally agree with you on the formula! its pretty god awful but i still love the color so i put up with it.
Oh my. All I can think of is how horrible this must have been to apply w their tiny underdeveloped brush. Yuck!
Did the same thing… ignored reviews, bought it anyway. Such a waste. My friend wanted it, even after I warned her about it, so at least it’s out of my life now!
