Like Butter!


So I have been wanting to write about this AMAZING nail polish line called Butter London! Butter London is proud to be 3-free, which is no formaldehyde, toluene, DBP or parabens. I like that this line does not use these toxins in their polish because most of the time when you have a rash or some sort of reaction on your face and skin, it's usually because of your fingers touching that area and irritating it because of the harsh chemicals that are found in regular nail polish. I also like it because I can use it on my nails and know that I am not going to irritate anybody's skin!
Here's a little history about the line-
The creators go to Fashion Week in New York and London and work with top designers to create some amazing colors on the spot! They have worked with Alexander Wang, Betsey Johnson, Calvin Klein, Victoria Beckham and Pringle. So this is definitely a high-fashion nail line!

Butter not only does nail lacquer but they have AMAZING nail treatments! I have an awful habit of biting and picking at my nails (I've had this awful habit since I was 5) so my nails look pretty awful...until I found this little beauty:
This is Butter London's Horse Power. They call it your nail "fertilizer." I love it! You're supposed to apply one coat every day for 7 days. It goes on so think and it makes my nails so hard even after the first application that I couldn't imagine trying to bite my nails after putting this stuff on them! I have tried every trick in the book to quit biting my nails and nothing worked but this!! This Horse Power not only strengthens your nails but it makes them grow like a weed! Within one day I swear I noticed a difference. I used Horse Power in conjunction with this:
I use this product before I do my Horse Power but it's whatever you want to do. All you do is put this right around the edges of your nails and let it set for about 2 minutes. Then you get a little nail scrubber and it completely removes all the dead skin around your nails and looks like you got a manicure in your own home! After I use the Melt Away I will paint my nails with the Horse Power and then I add this finishing touch:
This is Butter's Handbag Holiday Cuticle Oil. It smells better than any other cuticle oil I have every used and I honestly believe it is one of the reasons that my nails grow as fast as they do. So, if you can't spend the money to buy all 3 of the Butter Nail treatments at least get the Horse Power and the Handbag Holiday. they are definitely a must!!!
-you can purchase these at The Cosmetic Market or www.butterlondon.com

Here are a few other favorites from Butter:
This stuff is amazing!!! I always have a hard time finding a color of nail polish I like because the color always changes on me but with this Nail Foundation I never have to deal with that problem ever again!! This is an amazing base coat and it also creates a nice flesh-tone to your nails so the color you see in the nail polish bottle is the color you get on your nails! I love, love, love this stuff!!!

After I paint my lacquer color I finish it off with this:
This is the Butter Hardwear P.D. Quick Topcoat. It is fantastic!! Dries super-fast and really keeps the color on for a long time!!!

Sometimes yes, I will use another line of nail polish color but I will ALWAYS use Butter's Horse Power, Hardwear, Handbag Holiday, Melt Away and Nail Foundation!! These are an absolute MUST when I paint my nails!!!

Here's another HUGE reason why Butter London is about the explode:


This is the nail polish Butter London made specifically for Kate Middleton!! I am such a royals fantatic! If anyone knows me from childhood they know I was completely obsessed with Princess Diana so I am so super-excited about this next royal wedding!!! They are only selling this color in London but you can bet I've already ordered mine!!!! It's a beautiful greige (gray and beige) with flecks of lilac. It's just to die for!!!

Here are a couple of top-sellers too:
Yummy Mummy-perfect for an everyday color!
Primrose Hill Picnic-great for the summer (I think bold pink pops are going to be HUGE this summer!)
Fash Pack-love it!!! Putty colors are always timeless and SO popular right now (It's the You Don't Know Jacques of Butter London)

Okay well these are a few of my favorites. Butter also carries a lot of really bright colors but I am more partial to light neutrals on the nails because nobody wants an aesthetician with crazy looking nails so I try to keep it simple!

Okay! That's the deal folks! Go check out www.butterlondon.com and come to The Cosmetic Market and get you some 3-free polish!! It will be your new obsession!
