by Lauren Neely
on Aug 16 2024
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.

by Lauren Neely
on Jul 10 2024
If you find yourself traveling this summer and are looking for ways to help keep your nails looking prim and proper while on the go, butter LONDON has the perfect products to help! This week in the blog, we are sharing travel essentials to help you simplify your manicure routine.

Super Clean is formulated with Cocoa Seed Butter, Sodium Hyaluronate, Vitamin E, and Shea Butter to help boost skin’s moisture to deeply hydrate hands and cuticles, plus it features an enchanting soft rose scent for a touch of luxury.
Pro Tip: A waterless manicure helps elongate the wear time of your nail lacquer! When you wash your hands before giving yourself a manicure, the nail bed absorbs the water, becomes damp, and expands due to moisture absorption.

This Strengthening Treatment is perfect for travel as it gives nails a sheer jelly look while rejuvenating the look of nails to help repair nail damage.

No Time to Waste!
Another must-have for giving yourself a manicure on the go is the P.D. Quick Dry Conditioning Drops! This bestselling dry oil nail serum helps reduce the dry time for a quicker manicure after applying the drops to nails after lacquer application. Formulated with conditioning Rosehip Oil, an indulgent source of Vitamin E with antioxidant properties, these quick dry drops help to hydrate cuticles and protect nails from smudges for a quicker manicure.

When you travel, the last thing you want is to realize you forgot something once you arrive at your destination! Have no fear—this week in the blog we are sharing our must-have travel favourites so your manicure can remain flawless-looking no matter where you are.
In Case of a Broken Nail…
When you are traveling, there is nothing worse than looking at your freshly done manicure and realizing a nail has broken! While this can be heartbreaking, it is an easy fix with our Signature Nail Clippers + Signature Glass Nail File. Our Signature Nail Clippers help trim your nails with ultimate precision with a durable, easy-to-clean stainless steel curved edge for manicure maintenance.

Adding both of these nail tools to your travel kit will help ensure that your mani remains prim and proper while you are on the go!
In Case of a Chipped Manicure…
If you notice that you have a chipped nail, don’t worry! When traveling, we always recommend bringing a bottle of your Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer to fix any accidental chips on your manicure. Along with a bottle of your nail lacquer, we also recommend throwing a Nail Scrubber 2-in-1 Wipe in your bag to remove any remaining colour from your nails before reapplying. To help avoid any more chipped nails in the future, add a topcoat of our Hardwear Shine UV Topcoat to help lock in your manicure with a salon-worthy glossy finish.
*Pro Tip: Bring a bottle of your favourite Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer in a fashion size to help take up less space in your bag!
In Case of Dry Cuticles…
Packing some cuticle care can be a lifesaver if you start noticing dry cuticles getting in the way of your flawless-looking manicure! Quick Slip Cuticle Oil with Coconut Oil indulges your cuticles and helps promote overall nail health wherever you may go. Formulated with conditioning Safflower and Jojoba Oil, Quick Slip is perfect to throw in your travel bag!

Give Yourself a Waterless Pedicure for Salon-Worthy Nails That Last
by Lauren Neely
on Jun 26 2024
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!

on Feb 21 2024
If you’re getting ready for date night, or just want to give your lips some extra TLC this Winter, our Lippy Lip Treatment Duo is the perfect pair to indulge your pout. This week in the blog, we are going through the details of this fan-favourite product duo to help give your lips the ultimate care!
What’s Inside?
This lip-loving duo includes two fan-favorite products to help give your lips the ultimate TLC. The Lippy Lip Treatment Duo includes our Lippy Lip Scrub Sugar Buttercream Treatment and Lippy Lip Balm Pink Champagne Treatment to help provide lips with protection from harsh elements, daily dryness, and loss of moisture. These two products work effortlessly together as they exfoliate and condition lips with buttery decadence.
Lippy Lip Scrub Sugar Buttercream Treatment
Included in the Lippy Lip Treatment Duo, Lippy Lip Scrub is a Sugar Buttercream Treatment made with 100% natural sugar. Formulated with Jojoba Esters derived from Jojoba Oil and Coconut Shell Powder, this lip treatment gently sloughs away dead surface cells, allowing moisturizing ingredients to deeply hydrate lips. The raw sugar acts as a natural exfoliator, gently rolling over surface imperfections to polish and help improve lip texture. The mess-free stick applicator provides a targeted, on-the-go application.
Lippy Lip Balm Pink Champagne Treatment
Also included in this Lip Treatment Duo is our indulgent Lippy Lip Balm Pink Champagne Treatment! This intensely hydrating, soft, and creamy lip treatment is formulated with conditioning plant-based oils and butter ingredients, like Coconut Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, Avocado Oil, and Shea Butter, to indulge lips with much-needed moisture. This intensive lip hydrator and overnight lip mask is lightly scented with our signature luxe Champagne scent for ultimate self-care indulgence!
How to Use
To use this lip-loving duo, start with the Lippy Lip Scrub. Apply to lips morning and evening as an exfoliating treatment. On the first application, swipe onto lips with a firmer hand to dispense the sugar. Gently remove the scrub with a cloth or tissue. Next, apply Lippy Lip Balm to lips morning and evening alone or under lipstick products as a pre-‘treat for an extra dose of hydration. Reapply throughout the day as needed for smoother, softer-looking lips.

While there are various steps to giving yourself an at-home manicure, taking care of your cuticles is a step that cannot be skipped! This week in the blog, we are sharing the details of our bestselling Cuticle Exfoliator and how you can give yourself a salon-worthy manicure from home.
What is Melt Away?
Melt Away is our bestselling Cuticle Exfoliator that magically melts away dead or dry skin in the cuticle area in minutes!

Formulated with plant-based conditioning ingredients such as Irish Moss, Melt Away helps to soften and gently exfoliate with each use for healthier-looking cuticles and better-looking nails.
How Do You Use Melt Away?
Melt Away goes on easily, just like your favorite butter LONDON nail lacquer! Begin by shaking the Melt Away bottle and brush on an even layer around the cuticles and nail beds. After approximately 60 seconds, gently push back the cuticles with our Signature Glass Cuticle Pusher or your thumb if you do not have a cuticle pusher handy. Remove excess product with a Nail Scrubber 2-in-1 Wipe, nail polish remover and a cotton pad, or a small hand towel to avoid excess water on the nail. That’s it! Follow with your favourite butter LONDON nail treatment or Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer for a salon-worthy mani.

Our Favourite Nail Treatment Combos
by Sigrun Hjartardottir
on Jan 29 2024
While we love our bestselling nail treatments on their own, we also love pairing two treatments together to get double the nail-loving benefits! This week in the blog, we are sharing our favourite nail treatment combinations for you to try out for the ultimate nail nutrition!
Jelly Preserve + Mellow The Yellow
The first nail combo that we love is Jelly Preserve Strengthening Treatment and Mellow The Yellow Nail Brightening Treatment to help rejuvenate the look of nails! Jelly Preserve helps repair damage from harsh nail formulas and practices, while Mellow The Yellow helps to condition and brighten the look of nails. These two treatments give a shimmering jelly manicure look with nail-strengthening benefits for brighter, smoother-looking nails! To get the glazed jelly mani, we recommend the following steps:
Start by applying one coat of Jelly Preserve Strengthening Nail Treatment to clean, dry, bare nails for an ultra-sheer look. Let dry.
Continue layering with two or three coats of Jelly Preserve to enhance the pigment for a more opaque mani, letting the nail treatment dry between coats.
Next, apply one coat of Mellow The Yellow and let dry.
For a more opaque look, layer 2-3 coats of Mellow The Yellow onto nails to enhance the pigment.
Horse Power + Sheer Wisdom
The next nail treatment combination that we love is Horse Power Nail Rescue Basecoat and Sheer Wisdom Nail Tinted Moisturizer for healthier, stronger-looking nails! Horse Power helps transform, restore and rescue damaged, weak nails, while Sheer Wisdom helps lock in moisture to help perk up dry, brittle nails. These two treatments together give nails a chic, natural look with nail-loving benefits! To get this neutral mani, we recommend the following steps:
Apply one coat of Horse Power Nail Rescue Basecoat to clean and dry nails.
Let dry completely.
Apply one to two coats of Sheer Wisdom Nail Tinted Moisturizer to nails.
Let the nail treatment dry completely.
Nail Foundation + Hardwear Shine
Another nail treatment combo that we love is Nail Foundation Priming Basecoat and Hardwear Shine UV Topcoat! Nail Foundation acts as a protective layer to help fill in nail ridges and support healthy nail growth, while Hardwear Shine UV Topcoat helps prevent nail polish chipping while leaving nails with a brilliant high shine. To use these two nail treatments together for a less-is-more neutral manicure, we recommend the following steps:
Apply one coat of Nail Foundation Priming Basecoat to clean and dry nails.
Let dry completely.
Apply one coat of Hardwear Shine UV Topcoat for an ultra-glossy finish. Let dry.

Why Your Manicures Don’t Last as Long in the Winter
by Grace Allen
on Feb 27 2023
We know that the chilly Winter temperatures can be hard on our skin, but did you know the cold weather also has an effect on our nails? As the weather continues to cool, your nail polish has a harder time adhering to your nails for a multitude of reasons that go along with the frosty temps. This week in the blog, we are going to be diving into why your nail lacquer tends to chip more frequently in the Winter, as well as how to help solve this dilemma.
Hand Washing
While cooler weather comes with cozy scarves and beanies, the cold temperatures can also make us more susceptible to maybe catching a cold or coming down with the flu. A way most of us try to combat this is by regularly washing our hands to try to kill any germs—which is great! However, the more frequently we are exposing our hands to water, the more water our nails are absorbing. The more water your nails absorb, the more they are prone to peeling and breaking.
As an alternative to constant hand washing, try our Super Clean No Rinse Cleansing Hand Crème! With 62% alcohol and skincare-infused ingredients, this non-drying formula is perfect for any time you want to clean your hands without disrupting your manicure.
Fluctuating Temperatures
When it is freezing outside, it is only natural to want to be cozied up next to a heater once you get indoors! However, with the constant change in humidity and temperature, the polish on your nails is having to expand and contract depending on the weather, which can cause your nail polish to chip and lift.
To help solve this dilemma, we recommend applying a base coat to your nails to help promote stronger nails. Our Horse Power Nail Rescue Base Coat helps protect both healthy and brittle nails against future damage and prevent nail breakage. This powerful, good-for-your nails butter LONDON base coat is infused with Horsetail Extract, Biotin, along with fortifying Vitamin B and Calcium to help transform, restore, and rescue damaged, weak nails.
Dryness
It is nothing new that skin tends to get drier in the Winter time, but did you know that your nails can also get dry? Nails get dry from a variety of reasons, whether it be hand warmers, frequent hand washing, or a lack of moisture. When nails get too dry, they tend to get thin and brittle. This results in nail polish peeling and chipping off of nails in a short amount of time.
To help solve this issue, try our Sheer Wisdom Nail Tinted Moisturizer! Formulated with a blend of skin-pampering ingredients, this technology-based, hybrid nail treatment helps revive, strengthen and prevent breakage as it coats nails with a barely there, a sheer tint. This Nail Tinted Moisturizer is perfect to put your manicure back on the right-track for a healthier look.
In need of some TLC
At times during the winter, the humidity and moisture levels in the air tend to drop, resulting in dry air. This causes your nails to become brittle and dehydrated, which can cause your manicure to crack and peel. Just like your skin, your nails typically need more attention in the cooler months. Just like you protect your skin from wind chills and harsh temperatures with layers of moisturizers and serums, your nails need the same care!
To help solve the issue of nails in need of some TLC, we recommend our Champagne Fizz Manicure Candle to give your hands and nails some much needed moisture. Our Nail & Skin Treatment Candle is created from a natural skin-softening blend of Soybean Oil and Coconut Oil that perfectly melts into a soothing and conditioning massage treatment.

The Ultimate Clean Girl Routine For A Hydrated, Healthy Looking Manicure
by Grace Allen
on Sep 30 2022
Taking care of ourselves seems like a no brainer. Of course, we know that we need to have clean hands and healthy nails, but who said doing those things has to be boring?! Making sure you have clean, hydrated hands and nails that are protected and strong can be just as exciting and glamorous as your favourite DIY nail art mani. In this blog, we are going to take you through how to create the ultimate clean girl manicure that helps to promote stronger, healthier nails while also staying on trend.
Super Clean Hands
The first step to having a clean girl aesthetic manicure is making sure you have clean, hydrated hands. Our new Super Clean No Rinse Cleansing Hand & Nail Cream is perfect for waterless manicure prep or to throw in your bag on the go for anytime you want to clean your hands and help keep your manicure intact. We love that Super Clean contains 62% alcohol and is also skincare infused with an enchanting soft rose scent. Start your nail routine by cleansing hands with Super Clean so your manicure is not being compromised by any lingering oils or dirt on your hands and nails.
Just A Little Colour
Next, for a barely-there colour, reach for Sheer Wisdom Nail Tinted Moisturizer. This all-in-one nail polish coats nails with a sheer tint that is formulated with skin-pampering ingredients to help revive, strengthen, and prevent breakage. This polish is enriched with a Revolutionary Micro Smart Active Technology that delivers a controlled release of ingredients to lock in moisture while delivering a healthy dose of hydration. Best-selling Sheer Wisdom is available in six natural shades to compliment every skin tone.
Perfectly Pearly
Sometimes it is difficult to stay trendy while also taking care of your nails. After too many gel manicures or acrylics, our nails need some serious TLC. Enter: Mellow The Yellow. This opalescent Nail Brightening Treatment instantly brightens the look of yellowing nails with a revolutionary pearly white nail colour for the effect of a shimmery glazed donut manicure to channel your inner Hailey Bieber. Not only does this best seller provide a perfectly pearly colour, but it also targets the root of yellowing nails, leaving them brighter, smoother and looking renewed. We love layering this nail treatment over Sheer Wisdom to give our nails a natural pearly colour with nail enhancing skin care benefits.
No Dry Cuticles, Here!
The last step for our clean girl manicure is making sure that we have healthy, moisturized cuticles. QuickFix Moisturizing Cuticle Balm is a no-mess cuticle massager with a non-greasy formula that hugs dry cuticles and moisturizes with Coconut Oil and Avocado Oil. QuickFix delivers much-needed moisture to dry cuticles to help maintain skin moisture levels for cuticles that are instantly moisturized. As the last step of our manicure, having clean and hydrated cuticles will take your clean girl mani to the next level for a spa-like treatment.
This at-home manicure routine will have your hands looking clean while also providing strengthening and conditioning benefits. If you try out this perfectly chic and simple mani, be sure to tag us @butterlondon so we can see your clean girl manicure!

At butter LONDON, we love a nail care glow up! This week, we’re showing off the “Before and After” photos for our skin-loving nail treatments. These nails have come a long way, baby! From dry to hydrated-looking, from discoloured to bright and smooth, and from brittle to even and strong-looking, the nails in these photos are proper proof that butter LONDON nail treatments get real results!
Get Real Results: Jelly Preserve Strengthening Treatments
Every on-trend It Girl needs to try a jelly manicure before the summer trickles away! These translucent nail treatments help rejuvenate the look of nails with skin-loving ingredients like Bamboo Extract, Tea Tree Oil, and Arginine. With sheer pink Strawberry Rhubarb, sheer purple Victoria Plum, sheer teal Bramley Apple, and sheer orange Orange Marmalade colours, these nail preservers have a “second-skin” effect that delivers continuous, all-day nail care to dry, brittle nails.
The Proof:
These nails have been jelly-fied! Check out the smooth, hydrated look of the nail in the “After” photo, and the way the torn edges are smooth and even. The conditioning formula in our Jelly Preserve Strengthening Treatments helps with peeling nails—you may see results from your #jellynails after just ten days of wear!
Get Real Results: Horse Power Nail Rescue Basecoat
There’s a reason why this sheer, Horsetail Extract-infused base coat is an award winner! Our best-selling Horse Power base coat helps protect both healthy and brittle nails against future damage and helps to protect nails from breakage. This luxe base coat looks chic and minimal when worn on its own, and it can also shine as prep for an impeccable manicure!
The Proof:
What a difference 8 weeks can make! It’s no surprise these nails turned out looking tippy-top because Horse Power is infused with Biotin to help promote healthy nail growth and Calcium and Vitamin B to help promote stronger nails.
Get Real Results: Extra Whip Hand and Foot Treatment with Shea Butter and So Buff Hand and Foot Polish with Glycolic Acid
These two skin-pampering body treatments are a pair you’ll be head over heels for! First, exfoliate and prep your skin for maximum moisture with So Buff. This resurfacing hand and foot scrub helps remove dead skin with Apricot Powder, an eco-friendly physical exfoliant, and Glycolic Acid. Then, bring on the hydration with Shea Butter-infused Extra Whip! Make sure to light some candles and enjoy that light, spa-like champagne scent while you help soften your skin.
The Proof:
Peep these healed-looking heels! Extra Whip’s Caffeine-infused formula is hard at work helping to firm the appearance of the skin, and both Extra Whip and So Buff are helping to reduce the appearance of discoloration and uneven skin tone so that we can see those baby-soft soles!
Get Real Results: Melt Away Cuticle Exfoliator
We love our clip-free, pain-free cuticle exfoliator, and so does Boxycharm! Melt Away was featured in this posh beauty box because of its magical, cuticle-melting formula infused with Irish Moss to help soften the cuticle and Potassium Hydroxide for gentle exfoliation. Cute, well-hydrated cuticles can do wonders for your manicure, and this plant-based conditioning formula helps reveal softer and healthier-looking cuticles over time.
The Proof:
Melt Away plays well with Jelly Preserve Nail Strengtheners—just look at the glow up these nails got after 1 week of Jelly Preserve and 1 application of Melt Away!

Gift Your Dad a MAN-icure for Fathers’ Day with butter LONDON!

Is a mani/pedi the most traditional father’s day offering? Not really, but butter LONDON is all about breaking the mold and a fierce MAN-icure might be just what your dad needs to feel pampered and appreciated this Father’s Day. Whether your papa wants a proper glow up complete with one of our Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer hues or a minimalist manicure that keeps his nails looking spiffy, butter LONDON has all the nail care goodies he needs to BYOB to the salon or get fab nails at home. Let’s dive in, shall we?
Sheer/Clear MAN-icures
We don’t want to generalize, but some dads’ nails get treated a bit roughly. Help his nails recharge and recover with barely-there nail treatments that give a bit of glimmer as they help strengthen, hydrate, or exfoliate cuticles. If your dad isn’t the type to make a fuss over his nails, these treatments are the way to go for a more natural-looking finish that will still give dad’s nails a more finished, refined look.
Horse Power Nail Rescue Basecoat
Horse Power has a clear-but-slightly-shiny finish that will help your dad add some minimalist glam to his day-to-day nail look. If his nails are showing some wear and tear, this award-winning base coat is formulated with fortifying Vitamin B and Calcium to help him transform, restore, and rescue his nails from damage. Like all of our butter LONDON faves, Horse Power is made using our good-for-your-nails 10 Free formula, so dad can feel just as fabulous as his nails look.
Nail Foundation Priming Basecoat
Perfect for filling in the ridges of those craggy dad-nails, this fast-drying sheer treatment is infused with Horse Tail Extract and Hydrolized Silk to help strengthen the look of nails and encourage healthy nail growth. With a natural-looking matte finish, Nail Foundation will give your dad that understated, “your nails, but better” look for his next big meeting or night out with his dad buddies. Bonus? If he does want to add some nail lacquer, Nail Foundation helps lock polish into place for a more even-looking manicure or pedicure.
Sheer Wisdom Nail Tinted Moisturizer
You know how tinted moisturizer helps give your face a natural, glowy looking tone without looking overly “made up”? Sheer Wisdom can help give dad’s nails that no-makeup makeup look. It also helps revive, strengthen, and prevent breakage as it coats his nails with a subtle, sheer tint. This hydrating, Vitamin E-infused treatment delivers a controlled release of skin care ingredients to lock in moisture and help repair the nail over time.
Colourful Coats for Dad
Maybe your dad is up for a bit of nail colour adventure, or maybe he treats himself to a MAN-icure on the regular. Either way, these Patent Shine 10X nail lacquer hues make snazzy gifts to spice up dad’s nail routine this Father’s Day!
Union Jack Black
Take dad back to his punk glory days with this true black crème lacquer and a ticket to a show at one of his favourite haunts! We love the flexibility of this butter LONDON staple—Union Jack Black nail lacquer makes a statement, but it’s also got plenty of wearability for your dad’s busy schedule.
Waterloo Blue
This cornflower blue crème is a pop art-inspired summer MAN-icure for the dad who’s ready to flaunt some serious style! We love the beachy looks our butter LONDON beauties on Instagram have been creating with Waterloo Blue and Pop Orange—feel free to show us your dad’s creative side in your story this Father’s Day!
Ta-Ta
Ta-Ta is like a business suit for dad’s nails—help him look sharp in this sophisticated, soft grey crème nail lacquer hue. Dads love a bang for their buck, so don’t forget to tell him that all of our Patent Shine 10X nail lacquer hues use Shock Resistant Polymer Technology to help them last up to 10 days!
