Hi, you guys! How's it going hmmm? :) As I'm writing this, I'm watching reruns of Boy Meets World on tv. Do you guys remember this show? I loved it back in the day and heard that they're making a Girl Meets World series that show the main character all grown up, married with his own kid. Haha... I can't wait to see it. :D
Every year, I look forward to summer for its wonderful array of nail polishes in brilliantly intense shades that encompass all the colors of the rainbow. And so today I'm totally thrilled to be kicking off the first colors of the summer. I've got two of the gorgeous bright shades from the new six-polish Butter London Lolly Brights Collection for Summer 2014 to share with you.
Ladybird
Ladybird is a slightly warm fire engine red with a creme finish. The formula is just spot-on, very pigmented and easy to apply. It glides on effortlessly and leaves behind fantastic coverage. In fact, I could probably get away with just one coat of this for wearing, though I stuck with the standard two for the swatches because imperfections tend to be magnified in pictures. It has a little bit of a squishy, jelly-like finish, which dries to a high gloss shine. It's a very bold and sexy shade for sure. :)
Lolly
Lolly is an intense fuchsia pink with tons of shimmers in a foil glass fleck finish. At certain angles, it looks like there's a hint of gold to the shimmers, but that's rather subtle. It has a great formula and needs just two pigmented coats for total coverage. It's a really bright and saturated shade that looks especially stunning under the sun.
I love both of these colors, but Lolly as a bright pink shimmer is undeniably my favorite of the collection. What do you guys think of these two? Any others from the collection catch your eye?
You can find the Lolly Brights shades on
butterlondon.com and at select retailers such as Nordstrom and Ulta for $15 for each 0.4 fl oz.

DeleteBoth of these are gorgeous and so perfect for the season.
ReplyDeleteThey really are! I'm glad you like them. :)
DeleteI am a total sucker for a good red creme and pink glass flecks therefore I must have these. :)
ReplyDeleteAh, then these two are perfect for you! :)
DeleteI love the look of Lolly. I really like the look of the bright green, Sozzled, it seems like nothing I've ever seen before :)
ReplyDeleteLolly's so gorgeous, even more so in person! Sozzled looks really amazing too! It's spectacular in every swatch I've seen of it so far. :)
DeleteThese are both stunning but I think Lolly just wins me heart over a little more - stunning :-)
ReplyDeleteI love Lolly too! It really is striking, even more so in person, if you can believe it. :)
DeleteLolly is gorgeous! It reminds me of I'm All Ears by OPI which is my all time favourite polish :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like Lolly! I love bright pink/raspberry shades for this time of the year. :)
Deletei like the first one more:)
ReplyDeleteThe red's really pretty, and such a classic. :)
DeleteGorgeous, gorgeous colors and beautiful swatches, as always <3 I LOVE a good red like nothing else and Ladybird is summer perfect, and I'm seriously about out of my skin with excitement over all the glassflecks this season. Lolly is superlatively beautiful and I'm fairly certain you've got the prettiest swatches on the internet.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Liesl! Ladybird totally makes me think of you. And I'm sooo thrilled with all the glass flecks this summer too. Hehe thanks for your sweet words about Lolly. It's easy to make a pretty color look good in pictures, but would you believe it's even more stunning in person. :)
DeleteLadybird looks beautiful on you, but Lolly is sweet perfection! <3 It absolutely glows in your pics. Glass flecks are just the loveliest polishes.
ReplyDeleteGlass flecks really are! They're among my favorite finishes, and look especially smashing with bright colors. :) Lolly really does glow, probably even more so in person, if that's possible hehe.
DeleteThey are both very pretty shades
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you like them! :D
DeleteHi Yun - what a beautiful post and those two polishes literally glued my jaw to my chest in awe!!! Especially Ladybird keeps pulling me back - beautiful! magnificent! divine! Have a lovely day <3
ReplyDeleteHi Christine! Yay I'm so happy to hear you approve of these two! I'd knew you'd love Ladybird. It's such a classic red creme... you really can't go wrong with that. :)
DeleteLolly looks cute! I like the subtle shimmer.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I love the shimmer in Lolly too. :)
DeleteI tried recently 2 butter london colours. I think they are really good. Both colours look perfect on you :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I'm glad you like these two colors. I think they're super pretty too. :)
DeleteLolly, with its gorgeous shimmer, is my favourite of the two. It is adorable.
ReplyDeleteThe shimmer really is something, isn't it? I love Lolly too. :)
DeleteBoth are beautiful! I must say though that I like Ladybird slightly more. :D
ReplyDeleteLadybird is so classic, you can't go wrong with a red like that. I'm glad you like it. :)
DeleteI love the first one (; I aint pink lover oops! I wished lady came up with shimmer :D
ReplyDeleteHehe I'm glad you like Ladybird. I bet it would look stunning with shimmer. :)
DeleteHello :) Just stopping by to say hello and I look forward to reading your blog more once I am back to work in 2 weeks. Talk to you soon!
ReplyDeleteEssie! *squeezes* So glad to hear from you, my friend! I hope you are doing well, and I look forward to chatting with you soon! <3
DeleteOkay this is so weird! I seem to be developing a love for bright vivid Fuchsia pinks, or strong pinks for that matter. Hahahaha! That said, I'm in love with Lolly! Such intense and saturated colour! And the flecks adds such a wow factor and dimension to the finish ♥.♥
ReplyDeleteI agree! Lolly's just so stunning and its shimmers make it look like it's glowing from within! It's hard to resist a color like that. :)
DeleteLove Ladybird! Lolly is pretty too, but I'm not crazy about pink :P
ReplyDeleteHehe I'm glad you like Ladybird! It's a great classic red. :)
