August 15th is National Relaxation Day, and what better way to relax than with an indulgent manicure candle? This week in the blog, we are sharing the love for our iconic manicure candle and how it can help elevate your zen for National Relaxation Day. What is a Manicure Candle? Champagne Fizz is the perfect way to add some luxury to your relaxation routine! This Intensive Nail & Skin Treatment Candle perfectly melts into a soothing and conditioning massage treatment for hands, feet, back, shoulders, and more. The indulgent butter London Champagne Fizz candle includes a signature Champagne scent with notes of zesty and bright lemon, refreshing and cooling mint, fresh and romantic rose, and sweet and airy violet. The Champagne scent promotes a soothing sense of well-being, making it the perfect scent for relaxing at home. What Makes Champagne Fizz so Great? This decadent intensive nail & skin treatment candle is formulated with a natural skin-softening blend of Soybean Oil and Coconut Oil to instantly moisturize the skin for lasting hydration. The 100% cotton wick provides a clean burn with an estimated burn time of 10 hours. The invigorating scent is perfect for unwinding after a long day. If you are looking to add to your manicure candle collection, try our other scent Chelsea Blooms with scents of refreshing Mandarin, Water Flowers, sweet Jasmine, Rose, Cinnamon, spicy Clove and a hint of Vanilla. Pro Tip: If you can’t decide between Champagne Fizz or Chelsea Blooms, get both with our Blooms & Fizz Manicure Candle Duo!   How to Use the Decadent Manicure Candle To use Champagne Fizz intensive nail & skin treatment candle, start by snipping the tip of the wick with each use. Light the candle and allow the way to melt the entire top layer of the candle and blow out the light. Next, pour the moisturizing oil directly onto your hands or feet and gently massage it in. The oil will be the perfect warmth for massage but not too hot to the touch. See How Our butter LONDON Beauties Relax with Champagne Fizz!

There are endless ways to customize your pedicure, whether that be changing your nail colour, adding a new nail design, or trying out a waterless pedi! A waterless pedicure is just like a traditional pedicure but with no water. This week in the blog, we are sharing the benefits of a waterless pedicure and how to give yourself a waterless pedi from home for salon-worthy nails! Why Should I Start Doing A Waterless Pedicure? When you give yourself a traditional pedicure, you soak your nails in warm water before trimming your nails and pushing back your cuticles. However, when you soak your feet in water, the nail bed absorbs the water, becomes damp, and expands due to the water absorption. This can cause issues with your pedicure as once the nail returns to its natural shape and size, the polish cannot move with the nail—which can lead to chips in your pedicure! To give yourself an at-home waterless pedicure, we recommend the following steps: Step 1: Exfoliate Your Feet The first step in the waterless pedicure routine is making sure your feet are exfoliated. To do this, we recommend using the butter LONDON Signature Glass Pedicure Tool that gently sloughs away dead, rough skin, corns and calluses for smoother, healthier-looking feet without needing to rinse anything away! Made from durable Czech Glass, this reusable, environmentally friendly Callus Remover & Foot File features a 2-sided surface that works well on dry or soaked feet. The special abrasive surface sloughs away tough, hard skin on feet, while the smooth surface polishes the look of skin. Step 2: Push Back Your Cuticles Next, after exfoliating your feet, apply a layer of Melt Away onto each cuticle and let it sit for 60 seconds before pushing your cuticles back with our Signature Glass Cuticle Pusher. This Cuticle Exfoliator gently removes dry, overgrown cuticles eliminating the need to ‘clip’—no cutting required! Formulated with Irish Moss to help soften the cuticle and Potassium Hydroxide to help exfoliate, Melt Away gives you softer, healthier-looking cuticles in no time! Pro Tip: Wipe off any residue with one of our Nail Scrubbers 2-in-1 Wipes to help prep and condition your nails. Step 3: Prep and Paint Your Nails Once your cuticles are prepped, it’s time to apply nail lacquer! Start with a layer of Horse Power Nail Rescue Basecoat to help protect nails against future damage and help prevent nail breakage and let dry. Next, apply 1-2 coats of a butter LONDON Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer of your choosing. Once your Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer has dried, add a layer of Hardwear Shine UV Topcoat to help extend the life of your pedicure with an ultra-glossy, brilliant high-shine finish and let dry to complete your waterless mani!   To shop for more bestselling nail treatments to help improve the look of your pedicure, or other must-have Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer, head to butterlondon.com

The holidays are here, which means it’s time to try out new festive manicures! Whether you are a nail art professional or just starting on your nail art journey, this week in the blog we are giving you a step-by-step tutorial on how to give yourself a jolly Santa hat manicure. Step 1: Prep Your Cuticles Before applying any nail lacquer to your nails, it is important to prep your nails and cuticles so you can give yourself a salon-worthy mani. Start by applying Melt Away Cuticle Exfoliator around the cuticles and nail beds. Wait for approximately 60 seconds, then use our Signature Glass Cuticle Pusher to gently push back the cuticles. Wipe off the residue for perfectly prepped cuticles! Step 2: Trim and File Your Nails Next, for this Santa hat nail art we want our nails to be a rounded almond shape. To achieve this look, use our Signature Nail Clippers to trim the nails and our Signature Glass Nail File to shape your nails. Step 3: Apply A Base Coat and Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer Now that nails are prepped and ready, it’s time for nail lacquer! Start by applying a coat of Horse Power Nail Rescue Basecoat to each nail to help protect nails against future nail damage and help prevent nail breakage and let dry. Next, apply one to two coats of Her Majesty’s Red Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer to each nail except the pointer finger on each hand. Let dry. Step 4: Nail Art! To begin the nail art, apply one layer of Sheer Wisdom Nail Tinted Moisturizer to your pointer fingers. Let Dry. Next, using the Stippling Brush from our Signature Nail Art Tools and Her Majesty’s Red Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer, carefully outline the tip of your fingernail as if you were giving yourself a French manicure. Draw a curved line with the same brush to mimic the top of a Santa hat. Let dry. Next, using the Dual-Ended Dotter Tool from the same nail brush set and Cotton Buds Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer, add dots of white along the edge of the tip of your nail to mimic the look of a Santa hat. Add a dot to the end of the red curved line to look like the poof on the top of a Santa hat. Let dry and repeat the same steps on your other pointer finger. Step 5: Top Coat and Cuticle Oil Now that your nail art is complete, finish off your festive mani with a top coat of Hardwear Shine UV Topcoat on each nail to help lock in your mani with a brilliant high shine, smudge-free finish. Let dry. Add a layer of Quick Slip Cuticle Oil with coconut oil to help replenish the look of cuticles as the final step of this Santa hat manicure!
