Honest Babes

A long time ago, in a land not so far away, a young company named butter LONDON offered their polish for almost free.  Plenty of us availed ourselves of that deal.  But complaints were not few.  The cost of the polish, at full price, was not cheap.  The bottles themselves were relatively small.  The polish tended to dry out because it was hard to twist the cap onto the bottle all the way.

Clearly BL listened to the complaints.  While the polish is still a wee bit expensive at US$14, the bottle size has increased from 0.3 fl oz to 0.4 fl oz.  (A bottle of OPI is 0.5 fl oz. for US$8.50.)  The caps are much, much easier to remove, revealing a smaller plastic nub to hold while polishing.  Of course, the caps have always been removable, but it practically took a bodybuilder to wrestle the older caps off.

When I caught a "buy one, get one free" offer from Beauty.com, I caved and bought another BL polish.  I'm not sorry I did, either!  The free polish was Portobello Pink, and since it was in the 0.3 fl oz bottle, it must've been old stock.  But I didn't think the cap was as hard to remove from it, so I doubt it was that old.  The polish I decided to purchase for the deal is British Racing Green, one of the more recent BL colors.  It came in the 0.4 fl oz bottle, and the cap was easy to remove.  The cap even had a cute sticker on the side, letting me know to "lift to open."  Good idea, BL!

And now we get to the pictures part...

Happy holidays to you and your loved ones.

I think MAC's Style Black collection is out today in freestanding and pro stores, and will be on counter on Thursday.  I swatched some of the products, so here are my pictures!
