Butter London Toff Review & Comparison

After swatching some of my Fall nail polish picks, I decided that I had to wear Butter London Toff on all of my nails.

Butter London Nail Polish

What a wonderful application this was.  I could have been done with one coat; but of course, applied two.  It was so creamy and shiny.

Butter London Nail Polish

I went over to the Butter London site to see how they described Toff and here is what they said "A darker, dustier, brownish variation on a rose pink nail lacquer.  Stop to smell them. The roses, not the toffs." After reading this description, I couldn't help myself and had to Google "Toff".  So here is the definition: "A member of the upper classes, especially one who is elegantly dressed."  After this intense research, I decided that "Toff" is a great name for this polish.  I wore this to my daughter's play today and felt pretty elegant wearing it:) 

Butter London Essie Nail Polish

After applying Toff, I was reminded that it looked a heck of a lot like Essie Angora Cardi.  In the bottle, they look pretty darn close.  I will do a comparison swatch for you in the near future.  I also received a new Julep shade that looks very similar too.  I hope to find some dupes for you in case you don't feel like spending $14 on the Butter London.

Thanks for stopping by!

    This is gorgeous! I've always kind of written Toff off, but I'm reconsidering that now, it's so pretty!

      Yes, it kindof gets lost in the shuffle when you are looking at all of the other exciting colors. It's a hidden treasure:)

    Toff is a pretty color, it's the perfect "in-between pink & red color"

      I'll post the comparison soon. I found another possible dupe so I was to re-swatch everything. Hopefully I can do it tonight...even though I broke another nail:(

    I'm not a huge fan of mauve nails OR butter london (I think they're too overpriced) but I do like this particular shade! It looks really good on you.
