Article: Meet butter LONDON’s Nod to 2026’s Colour of the Year: Blustery Day
When colour goes calm, beauty goes bold—and 2026 is shaping up to be the year serenity steals the spotlight. In honour of Pantone’s freshly announced 2026 Colour of the Year, we’re welcoming our own chic interpretation: Blustery Day, a soft, windswept warm-stone grey designed to flatter, elevate, and effortlessly modernise every mani it touches.
Inspired by the same cloud-soft energy that defined Pantone’s pick, our airy take brings a cooler, more fashion-forward depth—made for mood boards, minimalist wardrobes, and your most polished moments.
Our Match to Pantone’s 2026 Colour of the Year
Pantone may be calling 2026’s hue Cloud Dancer, but we’ve created the butter LONDON version your nails will actually want to wear. Blustery Day is a white that’s both warm and cool. Think calm skies, stonewashed softness, and an elegant neutrality that works with literally everything. It’s the manicure equivalent of a deep breath—sophisticated, serene, and stunningly self-expressive.

Serene. Sophisticated. Self-expressive. Discover the nail looks that make Blustery Day the must-have grey of 2026.
The Windswept Classic
A full manicure of Blustery Day for an ultra-clean, modern-grey moment. Quiet luxury in nail form.

Soft-Storm French
Pair Blustery Day tips with a Hardwear Shine nude base for a minimalist French that whispers “elevated,” not “effort.”

Cloud-Crested Ombré
Layer Branwen’s Pearls over Blustery Day for a chrome-kissed, grey shimmer that feels like frost catching the morning light—sleek, luminous, and perfectly celestial.

Neutrals Made for Minimalists
2026 is calling in a “heavenly calm” mani palette, and your supporting shades are ready for rotation. If you prefer your manis soft and celestial, Cotton Buds, Branwen’s Pearls, and Steady On! are the neutrals made for your mood board.
Meet the trio:
☁️ Cotton Buds – crisp, clean, cloud white
☁️ Branwen’s Pearls – opalescent pearl with a soft-glow finish
☁️ Steady On! – barely-there nude with whispery warmth
Wear them alone, layer with Blustery Day, or use them as supporting players in your 2026 nail art story.
