My Ulta store recently received the Butter London Nail Lacquers. Although they are a bit expensive $14, they are “3 Free” because they have no formaldehyde, no toluene and no DBP and are not animal tested. They tout “Colour, not Carcinogens”. And do they have some colors to choose from. I went a little crazy because I couldn’t just pick one or two or even three.

From Left to Right: Rosie Lee, Dosh, Saucy Jack, All Hail the Queen, Big Smoke

From L to R: Blagger, British Racing Green, Marrow, Snog

My favorites Saucy Jack, All Hail the Queen, Blagger and Snog. The Saucy Jack is a true red and the All Hail the Queen is a sparkly lighter version of Sally Hansen’s Commander in Chic or Essie’s Chinchilly. Blagger is like a Cobalt blue, a color I’m loving right now. I alway have a hard time finding a good pink. I don’t like a light pink, like Essie’s Prima Ballerina, on me and most hot pinks are too “club-ish” for me. This pink is like a tropical beach-y pink. The Rosie Lee is like a clear polish with pink glitter in it. I think it might look good with a black polish and one coat of Rosie Lee on top.

Here’s a link to Ulta with more colors. There’s a great bright canary yellow called Cheeky Chops and an almost Tiffany Blue called Artful Dodger.

What are your favorites? 

The Cashmere Cody Cardigan that is.

We are having a family date day to celebrate The Boy’s Straight AAAAA’s. He’s been begging to go to this Brazilian steakhouse so we’ll be doing that after an afternoon movie. I’ve decided I may not want to put myself in a “meat coma” like I did on our anniversary two years ago so I may stick with the awesome salad bar and sneak a little piece here and there from Husband. The smell of beef made me nauseous for days.

Here’s Day 6…

Tee: J Crew Vintage Cotton Sequin Henley (Size S – A little snug in this size. I should have gotten the Medium.)
Caridgan: J Crew Cashmere Cody in Matisse Blue (Isn’t this color gorgeous?)
Jeans: GAP Curvy
Shoes: Ann Taylor Perfect Pump

I am not a nail person. I get pedi’s all the time but I have always had a bad habit of biting my nails. After I saw this gorgeous purple color by Chanel (Paradoxal), I had to have it. And my nails are thanking me for it. They are growing and I am not biting them. I broke on on the other hand so as soon as it grows a little longer I’ll get a manicure. I can’t wait!

Have a great weekend!
