Butter London Nail Polish



I have to say that happiness really does comes by mail because I'm always excited to come home and check my mailbox!  I bought the most beautiful shade of olive green nail polish online from a company called Butter London. I've never worn green nail polish, having just branched out to wearing blue nail polish a couple years ago so this was big! Non conventional colors are trendy now and I think polish is supposed to be fun since it's easily changeable.

Olive green is my favorite shade of green but it's so hard to find pretty clothes in that color, but when I do I snatch it up! (like my new sweater) I bought a  nail polish color named Wallis that is described as a "tarnished, metallic olive gold nail lacquer, as mysterious and regal as its namesake." It's named after Wallis Simpson, the divorced American that King Edward VIII of England had to abdicate his throne to marry. I LOVE this polish, it's just gorgeous and  a complex golden olive green shimmer. It's a bit thin so it needed 3 coats. The website has free shipping for all orders plus I had a discount code from my IPSY order so it was a good incentive to try this brand out. You can also find it at Nordstrom or Ulta. 

In the picture above you might recognize the watch I posted about here and my initial heart bracelet was inspired by the famed Tiffany's toggle bracelet.

Butter London just released a new color called The 444 for New York Fashion Week, looks like a glitzy glittery champagne.



This week wraps up dress week for me. I set a challenge for myself to wear a dress everyday since I never seem to wear the dresses in my closet. Hope everyone has a nice weekend! I plan on taking a 22 mile bike ride tomorrow!
