Butter London nail lacquer comes in a very unique rectangular shaped bottle with a rectangular lid that flips off to reveal a regular style, round twist-off brush lid underneath. A set of these bottles would look great lined up on a shelf. I really did like the bottle and the name of the shade. I notice that this brand has lots of cute names for the different colours in their nail polish range.
In the bottle, the red colour looks quite dark red but it's quite a different red on my nails. The description on the website of a tomato red is accurate though. Perhaps it could have been called Tomato sauce but I guess LadyBird was cuter! It's definitely an orange-yellow based red as opposed to a fire engine or blue-based red.
The consistency is thin which makes it quite easy to apply but more than one coat is needed or else you can still see the 'whites' of your nails. I think 3 coats gave the best finish. It is not a very shiny nail polish so you might need to add a glossy top coat if you are hoping for shiny red nails.
It only lasted for a day on my hands before I got a chip on one of my nails, so it wasn't very hard-wearing for hands. It lasted over a week on my toes.
The recommended price of $29.90 is on the expensive side for nail polish and as it does not appear to be as readily available as some other brands (eg. OPI), I am not sure I would go out of my way to buy it unless it was on sale.
Tips: Apply it near an open window or out in the fresh air as the 'nail polish' smell lingers a lot longer than other nail polishes I have used.
Try the tester in store as the way the colour looks in the bottle is not necessarily how it is going to look on your nails.
Look around at a few different websites to see if there are specials or sales happening. I found one site had a duo of Butter nail lacquers for $20 each, which is a saving of $9.95 per bottle.
