Trout Pout Butter London Nail Lacquer

Butter London says their Trout Pout Nail Lacquer Pale and retro, this opaque cantaloupe nail lacquer looks great on anyone.

Trout Pout was from the spring summer 2012 collection and is the colour of the meat of a trout a coral. It is not my fav butter by far it chips easily, is streaky, is really hard to apply quite runny and only lasts a day. Butter says it pale I really do not think it is to me it was really quite bright coral colour (see pic below).  Redeeming feature it is very summery. 

This is what the polish looks like in real life. Butter base coat two coats of trout pout and butter hard wear top coat.

As butter Loves to use British slang as names for their polishes I have decided to translate what they mean as I happen to be a Brit and know what they stand for as I have noticed a lot of people who are not British seem to be getting the wrong end of the stick when it comes to meanings.

So Trout Pout is slang for when a person over does the collagen injection into their lips and they look abnormally big and they come out looking like a trout.

Cream Tea Butter London Nail Lacquer

Butter London says that their cream tea nail polish is a Barely there and ever-so-sweet. Pale and creamy, this lacquer is an alternative to your standard clear or sheer pink nail lacquer.

At the moment according to vogue there is a trend for white nails this summer it is suggested that instead of opting for a bright white colour as you could end up looking like a WAG, you should opt for a creamier more transparent colour that will look more mature such as Butters Cream tea as you can see it is not bright white but a nice creamy colour as the name suggests. 

To me the colour really reflex's the name it is very similar to the colour of the clotted cream that I have on top of my scone during tea on a summer day when I visit my grandmother.  

This is what the polish looks like in real life. Butter base coat two coats of cream tea and butter hard wear top coat.

Why I love designer Jeans and why you should own a pair too?

I was never a big jeans person until I spent time in California and found the wonderful world of designer denim the denim that was available in the UK at the time was just poor from fit cut shape and size. I now own a few pairs of designer jeans and have to say once you have tried a designer jean you will never ever go back to thoses awful jeans on the high street.

I am always asked why would anyone want to spend that much on a pair of jeans well mine first came from been unable to find jeans to fit a very small waist and big hips and most designer jeans have a hourglass in mind so a 24 inch waist jean will have a 34 inch hip, a 25 inch waist jean will fit a 35 inch hip. as I have a 24 inch waist and a 36 inch hip I normally wear a 25 inch waist jean but a 23/24 in 7 for all mankind as they are big.

My Fav brand are J Brand they are the best jeans ever they have a range called bombshell which is curvy fit which has a more generous cut around the legs and hips and with a contoured waistband to hug the bodys natural curves. I wear 24 in most colours and a 25 in the black jeans as balck jeans are always tighter.

 

 

Heres a size chart for designer denim I have tried all these brands
