Butter London No More Waity, Katie

Released in 2011, Butter London No More Waity, Katie is a polish that I've been desiring for a long time, not because of the Kate Middleton connection but more for the gorgeously murky lavender shade jazzed up with lilac glitter.

Although Butter London describes it as a "soft, elegant greige shade with a splash of lilac glitter for the perfect marriage to combine fashion and fun", it does not look greige to me, but more of a greyed, dusky purple.

Like Dior lacquers, the outer cap pulls off to reveal a more user-friendly round inner cap with the Butter London signature bird. The brush is quite standard.


No More Waity, Katie is a three-coater as it applies sheer. On the first coat, it gives the nails a greyish translucent tint with flecks of the lilac glitter. Only on the third coat does it show the promise of how it looks in the bottle. Layering it over a darker shade is probably necessary to achieve full opacity.

I used OPI Ridge Filler as the base. Due to the glitter bits, the surface feels slightly bumpy, but this can be smoothened out with a top coat. It dried down quite nicely in about ten minutes without any top coat.

While the sheerness was disappointing, I still love the shade as I don't have anything like it in my collection. I purchased this from Zuneta.com. See more swatches on Lipglossiping and All Lacquered Up.
