I saw Ulta's 21 days of beauty has London Butter nail polish 2 for $15 on 9/13. They are normally $15 each. There are some really pretty colors, not that I need any more polish, lol. I am pretty hard on my nails so something that does not chip too easily is a must. Anybody use and like? Or anyone use and not like?

Ooh, I will have to check that out! I recently received British Racing Green and I love the color. I did find it miles ahead of Deborah Lipman in terms of chip-ability, but I only left it on for a couple of days.

They are beautiful polishes but my experience has been they chip easily. However, I have not yet tried them with Revlon Gel Envy topcoat. I am having greatly increased mani longevity with this topcoat.

Ok I just realized I typed the name backwards! Should read Butter London. Anyone who wants to laugh, well feel free!

Beautiful colors, terrible wear. I bought some of these at TJ Maxx because the colors were so amazing. Worst polish I've ever tried. My two teenagers also used and the polish chipped right away. Did not even last a day. We were so disappointed Smiley Sad(

Chipping isn't such a problem if you use a proper top coat.

Re: London Butter nail polish

It's one of my favorite polishes. Everyone is different when it comes to wear time. Some formulas and brands work better for some than others. I get great wear with Butter London. A good top coat helps. Bonder by Orly is a top selling base coat. I change polish often so I don't always wear base but Bonder does seem to work well for me when I do wear one. Since I have polish on most of the time I do get some staining, and it seems to me like it gets "slick" and polish doesn't adhere like it should. I use a sanding block every two or three months to remove that layer and get better wear. The yellow block has the finest grit that I could find and it does exactly what I need without taking my nail off.

I find this to be true.

I have great luck with Vinylux top coat on any of my polishes.
