Keks had me hitting the “add to cart” button before I could even think about it. I absolutely love blue nail polish but somehow managed to go through my obsession for it without a shade like Keks in my collection. It’s a gorgeous and creamy sky like blue and makes me feel rather summery whenever I wear it.
I typically apply just one coat of this (without a base or a top coat, I’m such a rebel) and it looks fine but 2 coats is required for full opacity. It dries quickly and has a borderline matte finish. I do find it chips quite easily but that’s probably down to the lack of top coat.
Pearly Queen was something I decided to purchase after discovering my white nail polish had gone missing. I wanted something that was off white but still somewhat sophisticated and Pearly Queen comes close to my requirements. It is definitely a pearly white but it just doesn’t do it for me. My nails aren’t exactly in tip top condition and Pearly Queen shows every flaw with them.
I always apply 2 coats of Pearly Queen but I think 3 coats are actually required in order to hide my nails defects. The colour is also a little too “old lady-ish” for my liking and I find it rather difficult to pull off. I’m sure I can find some use for Pearly Queen but I just can’t rock it on its own. I should’ve just gone for pure white!
Cheating on Barry M was a bit of a gamble but it somewhat paid off. I’m not overly impressed with Pearly Queen but Keks barely leaves my nails. I’ll probably check out more Butter London nail polishes in the future but something tells me I’ll be sticking to the bolder, brighter shades rather than the old lady shades.
