Haul: Butter London Nail Polishes


Hello!  I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and is enjoying the Holiday break.  So far I haven't been doing much but sit around, eat, watch movies, read blogs, and online shop all day.  I don't go back to work until after New Year's so I'm definitely going to be relaxing to the max.

I purchased some Butter London nail polishes on Hautelook awhile ago and they came in the mail a day before Christmas Eve so it was almost like a little present to myself hehe.  I have never tried Butter London before but have heard good things about them.  They are usually pretty pricey for a nail polish so it was definitely a good deal getting them through Hautelook.

The main concept of Butter London is that they don't use harmful chemicals in their formula, which is definitely a plus.


The three colors that I picked up (from l to r) are Union Jack Black, Minger, and Eastender.  They also had the cuticle away oil that I wanted to try but got sold out before I got there :(

I really adore the sleek square glass packaging.




Minger is a gorgeous true orange color.


Union Jack Black is a really nice simple go to black nail polish.



Eastender disappointed me a little bit because it's super sheer.  It almost has little to no color and is just basically a nice clear gloss coating for your nails.


Overall I really like Butter London Nail Polishes.  Minger and Union Jack Black have a very smooth, creamy, and pigmented formula.  They also don't have any harsch chemical smells so I would definitely purchase more!

Christmas for Two

My BF usually goes home to Minnesota for Christmas and I usually tag along with him but this year we both decided to stay local.


We made homemade egg nog which was delicious!  Making it fresh definitely gave it a lighter and smoother texture than the store bough egg nogs.


My BF got a recipe for garlic lemon chicken with potatoes, onions, and carrots on the side.  There was also lots of butter involved.


The chicken turned out really delicious and moist!


I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!  Anyone doing some after Christmas shopping?
