I actually swatched this shade before (like a year ago), but that was a terrible swatch in really bad light, so I decided to update it. All Hail the Queen is probably my favorite butter LONDON color, because it’s unlike any other I have seen. In short – it’s a perfect nude with a twist!
All Hail the Queen was released as part of Fall 2010 Collection. Here’s the shade description from butter LONDON website:
“Rock it like royalty in this opaque, holographic beige nail lacquer. If you love our best selling lacquer Yummy Mummy, then this winter version will delight!”
Holographic sandy nude with a subtle tint of pink – that’s my best description of this fantastic polish. The formula is on a thick side, but it goes on very smooth and spreads easily on the nail. For this shade two coats were enough for full streak-less opacity. The only known dupe to All Hail the Queen is OPI Nite Owl, which is still not a perfect dupe. OPI shimmer is definitely on the silvery side, while BL is filled with fine iridescent flecks.
All Butter London nail polishes are DPB, Toulene and formaldehyde free.
