Butter London Pink Ribbon... Month

I received Butter London Pink Ribbon free with a copy of InStyle Magazine issue for October 2012. The other free polish available is Red Pillar Box. It is not difficult to see why I prefer Red Pillar Box to Pink Ribbon. I was not going to get Pink Ribbon but I thought I may as well try out the pale pink/nude. This is a polish I never would have bought but I have been thrilled with the other Butter Londons I have.

Peek a boo! Can you see my nail line? This is with FIVE layers of polish. At least it matches the little pink ribbon decoration I placed on my ring finger. Pink Ribbon applied fine but it is too sheer for my liking.

I thought I would make this polish the first manicure for October as this month you will see plenty of events for Pink Ribbon Day. This year Pink Ribbon Day is on the 22nd October. I will have to remember to do a special manicure on on the 22nd. Funds raised from Pink Ribbon Day help support research and services provided by the Cancer Council.

Are you going to host an event? Will you get decked out in pink? I hope you do because it is always a bit of fun.

This post is also the first in the Polish Us Pink Breast Cancer Awareness Collection. I had already done this post and scheduled it for the 1st October when I read a post at The Subtle Shimmer about painting our nails pink for Breast Cancer Awareness.

I am hoping all goes well with the inlinkz tool. I have never used it before. What is blogging about? Doing something different, trying new things and sharing. Cross your fingers as there should be links to the other bloggers being polished pink.

News Flash: Get your FREE Butter London with InStyle

It is always worth having a look at the magazines when you are going through the checkout. I received my first (and only until now) Butter London nail polish by buying Madison. These magazines don't hold much in the way of interest for me except when I can get my hands on some good polish for a bargain price.

InStyle Australia's October 2012 issue is giving away a bottle of Butter London with each copy. You get to choose between Pillar Box Red or Pink Ribbon. In Australia InStyle costs $8.95 and in New Zealand the magazine retails for $9.20.

I chose to get Pillar Box Red and this was definitely worth it. I love the bright red and the beautiful application I have come to expect from Butter London.

You can also get $5 from your next purchase either online or in store. Since they charge almost $10 delivery per item online, I think I would give that one a miss. It is probably better to wait for the next lot of Butter London to be available on Ozsale. They usually charge $14 per polish and seem to have a capped rate of postage at $9.

I am amazed I managed to update this from the original terrible picture. :O
