Butter London Lillibet's Jubilee

Something you might not know about me is that I'm a major Royal watcher. I'm a complete Anglophile and I think I love the Royal family more than any US celebrities. Waaaay back, this time last year, when Sam was here (OMG, Sam, I can't believe it's been a whole year!), I had this on my list of polishes I HAD to get while she was here, because obviously I need polish to celebrate the Jubilee! And I just could not find it! I was pretty devastated. It was LE so I figured I'd never get my hands on it. Then, to celebrate the birth of Prince George, Ulta had an exclusive Butter London set of three polishes, including this one, No More Waity Katie, and Pitter Patter.
So ANYWAYS, this is a beautiful lavender foil with some serious pink tones in it. I have no idea why it bubbled a bit on my middle finger, as I didn't notice until I took the pictures. The formula was impeccable, two fantastically easy coats plus top coat. I'm not a super fan of the brush, mostly the handle part is a little short for me but I freaking love how cute the square bottles all look together. If you find this polish, don't think, just buy it! It's perfect.
And speaking of, I've got an extra bottle of No More Waity Katie. I'm considering selling it on Ebay or having a blog sale, as I do have a few things I'd like to get rid of. Would anyone be interested?

Zoya Tiffany

Ah, Zoya Tiffany. It's one of my very first Zoyas and I have quite the love/hate relationship with it. Tiffany is a pretty orangey copper foil. It's fairly sheer, this is three coats and it probably would need a fourth for full opacity. The formula was a bit tricky, part of my hate relationship with Tiffany. It's a touch runny and dry time is very long. This one takes some working with. But the color is just lovely. I am always a little sad when I put this on because I ordered it thinking it would be a rose gold and it just isn't.
Just one more Zoya to show you! Then I will move on to some more summery colors!

Zoya Carly

I am just so tired, it's hard to form coherent sentences but I'll try. This is Zoya Carly. It's a raspberry foil. The pic shows it quite bright and pinky but in low light/artificial light it looks more like a deep wine color. It doesn't blind me with its beauty but it does feel fancy on my nails. I don't know how to describe that. Anyways, formula was spot on. Easy to control, almost a one coater. Maybe I just had bad luck with the one or two I had mentioned before but it seems like the trend with Zoya is a fantastic formula! I just wish they were easier to locate in person.
Just two more Zoyas and then we are moving on to some decidedly summer colors!
