Butter of London Nail Polish (All Hail the Queen)

I had originally seen this on another site, Fragrantica.com,  where I live and die at because Im a fragrance freak and that is where all the fragrance geeks go to. They have a section in the "club" area that talks about other beauty products and one member talked about it on a thread about nail polish. When i saw this color I fell deeply in love and vowed that I would search far and wide until I got a bottle for myself because it seemed to be the perfect balance between glitz and sophisticated beige. I had been looking for that balance for what felt like forever, something that I didn't feel was boring or too "blingified".
I finally got it from Ulta because I had a coupon from them it is a bit pricier than my usual polishes but I didn't mind paying a little more for something I thought would be perfection, its regularly $15. I love the bottle, dont worry about the rectangular top because it pops off so that you can use a round handle, which is easier to maneuver.  First impression is that this nail polish is of good quality and it dries fast, it lasts pretty long without chipping and application is great. Now for the cons.... I honestly thought there was gonna be a bit more sparkle to it, you dont see the holographic sparkles unless you really look at the nail closely ( wanted more). Secondly it is a bit transparent so you have to do about 3-4 coats to have an opaque finish, but they dry fast so you dont really get much bubbling.

I took pictures for this myself but have no idea why its not letting me post them so this is from another blog (sorry). 

In all I really like this nail polish and I can see myself using the whole bottle, but im not certain I would buy this color again, I was just expecting more sparkle... so now im on the hunt for a holographic nail polish because im obsessed and cant help it....
