Review: BUTTER London All Hail The Queen


All Hail The Queen   |  all heyl the kween  |  
All Hail is used as an acclamation or welcome, as in "All Hail this gorgeous lacquer".

A nailpolish designed with late designer Alexander McQueen in mind? You know it wouldn't be anything less than fabulous, but understated and wearable, to boot? Sign me up for a lifetime supply. 

Specs:
-Taupe-nude-glittery polish
-Free of  DPB, Toulene and formaldehyde

Cost:
$14

Availability:
You can purchase at Ulta or on the Butter London website.

Review:
Pricey for a nailpolish, All Hail The Queen is one of BUTTER London's best polishes in their collection. I'm a major fan of the BUTTER polishes for their "3 Free" formula (free of DPB, Toulene, and formaldehyde). From my experience, it's MUCH easier to remove BUTTER polish than nail polish made by other brands, and I'm quite sure it's due to this "3 Free" thing they tout. 

All Hail The Queen takes about two coats for an opaque finish, but once it's on, it's one of the most beautiful polishes I've ever worn. It looks different depending on the lighting, transforming from a mushroom taupe color indoors to a shimmery nude in direct sunlight. It's really difficult to describe, but I always look forward to wearing this. It does have glitter/micro-fine shimmers, but not in a gaudy or tacky way. I've already had a few friends borrow this from me, because they loved it so much when I was wearing it. I LOVE IT to the ends of the manicure world, the end.

Recommendation:
This will suit all skintones and is a fantastic addition to anyone's polish collection. It will probably look different on everyone, but that's what makes it so amazing!

Grade:
10/10
