I have always loved having my nails done (and enjoy painting them myself while watching some Woody Allen movie or old episodes of Sex and the City) and know you guys do too.

We often fret over which purple is just the right purple, which red is sexy, but not slutty, etc. and so when I came across Nonie Creme, celebrity London manicurist and butter LONDON’s creative director, I jumped at the chance to ask her my 21 questions.

For fall, Nonie says that the season’s runway shows featured a combination of smooth, modern looks, and dark fantasy. To get the look, try butter LONDON 3 Free in Branwen’s Feather – a purple-ish black with loads of depth and shine.

So what makes butter LONDON difference? They believe in color, not carcinogens and that’s something any fashion girl can get behind including celebrity fans Rihanna, Kate Moss, Mandy Moore and Hilary Swank. Read below for more on the line and get to know Nonie…

1. Name: Nonie
2. In 5 words or less, describe your personality: Just a little bit mad
3. In 5 words or less, describe your style: Quirky old rocker in stilettos

8. What are you most into: shoes, handbags, clothes, jewelry? Shoes!!!!!
9. Favorite stores? Topshop, Fred Segal, Kurt Geiger shoes
10. Latest obsession? Silk Stockings by butter LONDON. I wear it everywhere and then skip perfume. Even my grumpy husband was forced to admit that my skin felt silky and smelled delicious. I am also obsessed with cupcakes. I sneak into the kitchen when I am supposed to be feeding the baby at 4am and eat them with a pint of whole milk. Then I pretend to be indignant that my baby weight won’t shift.
11. Favorite artists/designer? Alexander McQueen, Vintage Halston, Ray Caesar, Frida Kahlo, and Mark Rothko
12. Favorite writers/authors? Isabelle Allende before baby, Us Weekly after baby
13. Last book you read? I have a 5 month old baby girl, so real books just don’t happen anymore! I devour trashy magazines as my cultural diet. I can tell you anything you need to know about Brad and Angie and who wore it best.
14. What are you listening to? Gorillaz, Lily Allen, Coldplay, the Beatles. I am also the oldest living Linkin Park fan.
15. Drink of choice? Dirty Grey Goose martini straight up two olives, or a proper cup of tea. Super strong, super milky, and NO sugar.
16. Favorite restaurant/bar? My favorite restaurant is a tin shack in Houston Texas that serves the best Tex-Mex in the world. I am also a major sucker for Nobu at the Metropolitan Hotel in London. I love my local pubs in London, and really miss the boozy culture when I leave the UK. 3 glasses of wine at lunch? Why it would be RUDE not to!
17. Favorite sites? butterlondon.com of course! Also NET-A-PORTER, Kurt Geiger, Ebay and Craigslist junkie.
18. Favorite blogs? All Lacquered Up, British Beauty Blogger, Blogdorf Goodman, Popbitch
19. What makes 3 Free different from other lacquers? Oh, where do I start?! Apart from being the safest formulation on the market, our colours are the ultimate eye-candy. Each colour was designed and created just for bL, and represent years spent backstage at fashion shows and crawling around on the floor painting toes on shoots for David Bailey, Rankin, Miles Aldridge, and other fab fashion photogs. The range is heavily pigmented, making colour richer and longer lasting. The packaging is truly “dressing table worthy”. You won’t find these babies sitting in a drawer in the bathroom!
20. Top nail colors for the fall? Cream Tea, Chancer, HRH, Swinger, and Chimney Sweep
21. One thing people should know about you? My bark is worse than my bite.
