I broke a nail:( So they are now filed down pretty far - ignore that...
Okay, here's the situation. I had my eye on Butter London All Hail McQueen about a year ago. I went to Ulta to pick it up and ended up getting Butter London Fash Pack instead....not a smart move. I really don't like Fash Pack at all. Anyway, since then, I still had All Hail McQueen on my wishlist. Last week I decided that I was going to pick it up, but decided to stop at Sally Beauty Supply first. I took a look at the Orly section and noticed "Nite Owl". When researching All Hail McQueen dupes, I noticed that Nite Owl was pretty close.....so, I was excited to see it (it had a "new shade" thingy on it, but I know it's not new - but new to Sally's). I have the Sally Beauty Card so I got it for like $5.49, I think....and All Hail McQueen is $14. I decided this was a better deal and to make a long story short - I LOVE IT! I love taupe nail polish and with the added silver shimmer...exactly what I was looking for. Now that I am typing this, I realize it's a taupe version of my favorite pink "OPI Pedal Faster Suzi" (my Saturday post). The application is wonderful and I am so happy with it. Who knows, I may still get All Hail McQueen at some point, but for the time being, I am happy:)

Here are the polishes I have that came to mind as dupes. When I put them together, they aren't. Cult Nails Power Thief has the same shimmer, but is a tad darker. Fash Pack is the same taupe color, but the shimmer is more golden.
Have a great week!
Oooh that's a really pretty taupe! I don't have All Hail McQueen, but it does look like a close dupe from what I have seen online. :-)

Yeah, I thought so too:)
DeleteI have All Hail the Queen and this does look close to me. I almost want to get it anyway. Like you, I'm a sucker for a good neutral!
ReplyDeleteWell you should let me know if you do - I'm very interested:)
DeleteI'm pretty sure I need this! Thanks for posting about it :)
ReplyDeleteand you would be right! :)
DeleteThis has been on my wish list forever! Your pics are only making me love it more! I think I need to make a pit stop at my nail supply shop today. And I agree that it's a great dupe for All Jail the Queen- which is also on my wish list ironically :)
ReplyDeleteWe know what we like, right? :)
DeleteLove it! I have two European dupes for it myself. Not even together they make the price of the BL!
ReplyDeleteGahhh, this is GORGEOUS. It's been on my wish list for like forever. I can't find it anywhere! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteI did too and finally found it at Sally's. If you have one by you, try there now. It had "new" on it - even though it's not new. But I guess new to Sally's :)
DeleteI've been to my Sally's and Ulta quite recently. They have tons of Lucky Duck, but no Nite Owl :( I'll probably have to swap for it!
