butter London: Lillibet's Jubilee

In trying to bring out the butter London polishes I own for the new polish, though I don't own that...yet.  Today I have Lillibet's Jubilee.  


Thoughts
Lillibet's Jubilee is a silvery lavender metallic polish.  When I first bought this last fall, I definitely expected it to be more lavender than silver, but at least in the description it does list it as silvery lavender, so I guess that's ok.  The bottle itself looks more like lavender tone.  Anyway, the colour is very pretty.  I received a compliment at work since it was different.  I wore a topcoat but since it's a foil, the finish was very interesting.  The application is pretty smooth and easy.  It was pretty opaque after one coat, I added another to even out the polish.

When I wore this, it did chip after one day.  Somehow I ignored the chip and wore it for a whole work week anyway.

I bought this polish at nailpolishcanada.com.  I bought the Backstage Basics and selected this one to be my colour choice.  The set is C$46 and qualifies for free shipping. (I'm just saying this because I think it's a good deal.  I don't work for nailpolishcanada.  Sometimes I feel like I'm selling their site but I'm not trying to).
