If you have been watching the Olympics, TV and reading a variety of magazines, you will have noticed that nails have taken over as the KEY accessory that you don’t take off every night and put away. The colors, the styles, the nail art all are part and parcel of the fashion statement you choose to make (even if you DO NOT wear polish)
Trends for Autumn/Winter 2012:
Sequins! Velvet! Satin! Tweed! This season the catwalks (and sidewalks) were– and will be– abundant with rich texture! This trend translates to nails via the infusion of glitter particles and metallic and holographic finishes. The colour tones speak to “earthiness” but are not specifically “earth tones” – think rust, shimmering greens and silvers. This collection feels “future-forward” –but not futuristic. This season is all about using texture to add interest and depth to your look while working within your palette. Forget the foils, check out what butter London has done!
Backstage with butter LONDON:
A backstage staple at Fashion Week, butter LONDON created the nail looks for shows including Victoria Beckham, Calvin Klein, Betsey Johnson, and Yigal Azrouel. Noted for and in demand because of their innovative design, technique, and custom-blended colours, this season the brand created the nail looks for Altuzarra, Kevork, Kaelen, Simone Rocha, JS Lee, Craig Lawrence, Matthew Williamson, Michael van der Ham, and Roland Mouret.

butter LONDON Autumn/Winter 2012 Collection
Must say I love the variety of colors from butter LONDON A/W 2012 Colours Include:
Lovely Jubbly
Colour: A vibrant magenta flecked with red, blue and gold micro particles. Channeling a distinctly retro 70’s feel, this sultry glitter gives high impact sparkle perfect for Disco Divas. Definition: Brit speak for “Excellent.” Used when a person hears pleasing news or has a stroke of good luck.
Trustafarian
Colour: A golden holographic finish gives this delightful sage green a surprising and sophisticated edge. Definition: A spoiled rich kid who pretends to be a hippy but still goes home to Daddy’s mansion on the weekend.
Gobsmacked
Colour: A heavily pigmented charcoal grey glitter with a slightly textured finish. This shade is unlike anything we’ve seen before. A legend in the making! Definition: To be totally speechless. Unable to think of anything to say.
Shag
Colour: A high-shine metallic lacquer in a warm orange-burgundy hue. Reminiscent of fallen Autumn leaves. Sigh. Definition: Brit slang for “knocking boots.”
Dodgy Barnett
Colour: A highly holographic shade that blurs the line between grey and silver. A classic! Definition: A bad hairdo. A mullet of any variety is a seriously Dodgy Barnett.
