Celebrate National DIY Day with a Proper British Mani: The "Cakes and Cuppas" Collection
by Branwen Raven
on Apr 02 2025
Dahlings, it's National DIY Day, and what better way to celebrate butter LONDON's 20th Anniversary than with a spot of home nail artistry? As I sit here with my afternoon Earl Grey, I simply must tell you about the most delightful nail kit from butter LONDON—the Cakes & cuppas 6-piece nail lacquer set.
This charming 6-piece kit has utterly stolen my heart with its quintessentially British themed shades. The collection is perfectly on-brand with butter LONDON's cheeky, sophisticated vibe that we've all come to adore since they burst onto the scene in 2005 as the first toxin-free nail lacquer brand.
A Proper British Colour Palette
The "Cakes and Cuppas" collection features six absolutely scrumptious shades:
Steady On! - A sophisticated neutral that pairs with everything, rather like a good cuppa
Sandy Bum - A delicate milky pink
Fruit Machine - A bubblegum pink
Bubbly Rosé - A perfectly rose-gold hue that's as bubbly as rosé
Flusher Blusher - A brilliant fuchsia that's bold as brass
London Fog - A stormy blue-grey crème
The Feel Good Beauty Experience
What makes butter LONDON truly special is their commitment to clean beauty without compromising on colour, quality or performance. These 10-Free nail lacquers are formulated without Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, DBP, Toluene, Camphor, Ethyl Tosylamide, Xylene, Parabens, Gluten and TPHP.
It's rather brilliant knowing that while I'm achieving a posh and polished look, I'm not subjecting my nails to a load of nasties. The Patent Shine 10X formula gives a proper gel-like finish that lasts up to 10 days—rather essential for those of us who can't be bothered with daily touch-ups.
My DIY Mani How-To
For National DIY Day, I've created a delightfully British afternoon tea-inspired manicure using the "Cakes and Cuppas" collection. Here's how you can recreate it at home:
Begin with clean, prepped nails—perhaps with butter LONDON's Melt Away Cuticle Exfoliator to tidy those bothersome bits.
Apply a base coat—their Horse Power Nail Rescue works a treat.
For a classic look, paint each nail with two coats of Fruit Machine, allowing proper drying time between coats (the perfect excuse for another cuppa).
On accent nails (I chose ring fingers), apply Sandy Bum as a base, then use a small dotting tool to create a "jam" center with Flusher Blusher or pebbles with London Fog.
For the truly adventurous, try a gradient effect by starting with Steady On! at the cuticle and adding Bubbly Rosé tips.
Seal your masterpiece with their Hardwear Shine UV Top Coat for that smashing glossy finish.
A Spot of British Flair
What I adore about butter LONDON, and why I’m still their mascot, is how they've maintained their British heritage throughout these last 20 years. Their witty, cheeky approach to beauty feels like chatting with your most fashionable London friend—the one who always knows the best spots in Notting Hill and has perfected the art of afternoon tea.
Final Thoughts
So, my loves, whether you're a proper nail enthusiast or a DIY novice, National DIY Day is the perfect excuse to treat yourself to some "me time" with a luxurious at-home manicure. The "Cakes and Cuppas" collection delivers the balance of posh and playful you’ve been seeking.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to finish my manicure and perhaps indulge in an actual cuppa (or two).
Cheers,
Branwen

Scoop Up Spring's Sweetest Nail Trend: The Ice Cream Manicure
by Estela Brill
on Jan 22 2025
Darlings, forget your average French tips - this season we're serving up something absolutely scrummy! The ice cream manicure is making waves across Instagram and TikTok, and trust us, it's the most delectable trend since afternoon tea became fashionable. Think of it as the perfectly swirled Mr Whippy of nail art: a dreamy ombré French that melts from pristine white into the most gorgeous glossy pink base. Simply divine!
Why We're Absolutely Mad for It
Like your favourite ice cream parlour on a scorching summer's day, this trend delivers pure joy with a side of sophistication. It's giving us all the spring vibes we've been craving, with sorbet-inspired hues that would make even the pickiest nail artist weak at the knees. The best part? It's subtle enough for the office but still packs enough punch to turn heads at your local pub with a moisturizing bonus we're needing during harsh winter days.
The Secret's in the Prep (No Shortcuts, Loves!)
Before we dive into the sweet stuff, let's get those digits properly prepped. Because darling, attempting this look on raggedy cuticles would be like serving ice cream in a paper bag - absolutely criminal!
The Ultimate How-To Guide
1. Prep Like a Pro
Start by giving those nails a proper sorting with butter LONDON's Nail Scrubbers. Think of it as spring cleaning for your fingertips! Next, tackle those cuticles with the Melt Away Cuticle Exfoliator - it's basically a spa day in a bottle. Pop back those cuticles with the Signature Glass Cuticle Pusher (go gentle, we're not trying to excavate here!).
2. Base Camp
Option 1: For the classic cone look, sweep on Sheer Wisdom in Light. It's like your nails, but better - think "no makeup" makeup for your hands. Option 2: Feeling cheeky? Swap in Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer in Sweetikins for a sprinkle cone vibe that'll have everyone asking for your nail artist's number.
3. The Sweet Spot
Here's where the magic happens! Using Mellow Yellow, create that soft-serve effect at the tips. The key is to keep it light and feathery - we're going for "just licked an ice cream cone" vibes, not "dropped the whole thing down your front"!
4. The Cherry on Top
Seal your masterpiece with Hardwear Shine topcoat. This is what gives you that mouth-watering glossy finish that'll have people wondering if your nails are actually made of spun sugar.
Pro Tips (Because We're Nice Like That)
- Keep your strokes light and build gradually. Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither is the perfect ice cream mani.- If you're struggling with the ombré effect, try using a makeup sponge to dab on the tip colour - it's our little secret!- Don't forget to cap the free edge with your topcoat. Nothing ruins a perfect mani faster than tip wear (honestly, it's worse than a melted 99 Flake).
The ice cream manicure is proof that sometimes the sweetest things in life don't come with calories! It's the perfect way to transition into spring while keeping things sophisticated yet playful. So go on, treat yourself to this delicious trend - your nails deserve a little indulgence!
Remember, darlings: life is short, and your nails should be fabulous. Now, who's ready for seconds?

Give ‘Em Pumpkin to Talk About with These PSL-Inspired Manicure Looks!
by Lauren Neely
on Aug 23 2024
The famous pumpkin spice latte has made its grand return back to menus this week, and what better way to celebrate PSL season than with a festive manicure! This week in the blog, we are sharing our favorite pumpkin spice latte-inspired manicures to help get you ready for the cozy fall weather.
(Pumpkin) Spice Up Your Manicure
The first PSL-inspired manicure we recommend is all about the neutrals! Our fan-favourite Sheer Wisdom Nail Tinted Moisturizer hues are perfect to give your nails a sheer wash of neutral nail-loving colour. The good-for-you-formula helps revitalize the look of dry, brittle nails to help give nails a stronger-looking appearance. We recommend using a different Sheer Wisdom hue on each nail to give your manicure an ombre-like effect. Start with shade Fair on the thumb, followed by shade Light on your pointer finger, Medium on your middle finger, Tan on your ring finger, and Deep on your thumb for an understated yet brilliant neutral manicure.
Orange You Excited for Pumpkin Spice Nails?
The next orange-toned manicure you can style this fall is with our light tangerine crème hue, Pop Orange Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer! This soft orange colour is perfect for transitioning from summer to fall as the shade is still bright enough for warm weather, but cozy enough for fall. For this manicure, we recommend applying two coats of Pop Orange on each nail and letting it dry. Next, add a layer of Bespoke Lace Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer to add a sheer white overcoat with lace-like details for a girly pumpkin spice-esque manicure.
Go Big or Gourd Home with Stronger-Looking Nails
For a simple yet chic pumpkin-inspired manicure, try Jelly Preserve Strengthening Treatment in shade Orange Marmalade! This translucent sheer orange nail treatment is packed with nail-loving ingredients such as Olive Oil to help strengthen the look of nails, Vitamin E for antioxidant protection, and Tea Tree Oil to help revive dry, brittle nails and lock in moisture. Simply apply one to two coats of Jelly Preserve onto nails and let dry to enjoy the skin-pampering benefits.
Trick or Treat Yourself to PSL-Inspired Tips
The last PSL manicure we recommend for fall are classic French tips, but with an orange twist! For this manicure, we recommend using a Sheer Wisdom Nail Tinted Moisturizer in the shade closest to your skin tone for the base of your mani. Next, using a fall Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer in a festive shade of your choosing, such as Boozy Chocolate or Pop Orange, carefully paint only the tips of each nail. If you get any nail lacquer ‘outside the lines’, use the Clean Up Brush from our Signature Nail Art Tools to remove any excess polish. Follow with a topcoat of Hardwear Shine UV Topcoat for an ultra-glossy finish for a perfectly charming PSL mani.

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!

Get a Radiant Manicure That Lasts This Summer with These butter LONDON Favourites!
by Lauren Neely
on Jun 17 2024
You know the importance of wearing SPF to help protect your skin, especially when spending more time in the sun this summer, but have you ever thought about wearing SPF on your nails? All butter LONDON Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer shades feature UV Absorbers to help keep your manicure vibrant and help prevent colour fading. This week in the blog, we are giving you all the tips on how you can help protect your nails from the sun for a longer-lasting manicure!
What Does the Sun Do to Your Nails?
When spending time in the sun, the UVA and UVB rays can cause potential damage to both your skin and your nails if you are not well protected! The sun can cause your nail colour to fade more quickly, causing the colour to be less pigmented on your nails. While it is rare, the sun can also result in skin cancer underneath your nails, making it as important to protect your nails as it is to protect your skin. We recommend the following steps to help keep your nails vibrant and healthy-looking for the perfect summertime manicure looks!
How Should I Prep My Nails Before Spending Time in the Sun?
To help get your nails ready for spending time in the sun, it is important that you properly prep for your salon-worthy manicure. We recommend starting with Nail Foundation Priming Basecoat to help prime and strengthen the look of nails while extending the life of your manicure. This basecoat is formulated with Horsetail Extract and Hydrolyzed Silk to act as a protective layer to help fill in nail ridges, prevent nail stains, and lock polish onto nails for an even application.
Apply Our Good-for-Your Nails Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer
Once your nails are prepped with the Nail Foundation Priming Basecoat, it’s time to choose a Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer colour! Each of our nail lacquer hues are formulated with nail-loving ingredients and UV Absorbers to help prevent colour fading when spending time in the sun. Whether you want a sunny yellow manicure with Bit of Sunshine Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer, or a classic pink manicure with Piece of Cake Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer, butter LONDON has endless colours to choose from for your perfect summer mani!
Elongate the Wear Time of your Manicure
To help elongate the wear time of your manicure even further, we recommend topping off your mani with our fan-favourite Hardwear Shine UV Topcoat! This ultra-glossy, high-performance butter LONDON topcoat is formulated with nail pampering UV protection to help lock in nail polish colour and prevent fading for radiant colour that lasts. Finish off your mani with Quick Slip Cuticle Oil with Coconut Oil to help promote overall nail help and replenish and strengthen the look of cuticles for immediate and lasting hydration for the ultimate summertime manicure.

Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer, with an iridescent top coat, such as Sassy Lassie Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer for a lip gloss effect. This trend is perfect for summertime as it is a chic neutral with a fun shimmering top coat for the ultimate sparkling summer mani.
A Pop of Popsicle Hues
The next trend we have been obsessing over for summer is fun popsicle-coloured nails! This trend can easily be recreated with bold butter LONDON colours, such as Her Majesty’s Red Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer for a pop of cherry red nails, Brolly Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer for a blueberry blue, or Pop Orange Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer for a sweet orange tangerine manicure. Top off your sweet treat mani with a glossy coat of Hardwear Shine UV Topcoat to help lock in your colour and with a brilliant high shine finish.
All the Pastels!
For a soft, feminine summertime manicure, we recommend pastels! A cool-toned pastel is perfect for an effortlessly chic manicure that can be worn all summer long. This trend can be recreated with Candy Floss Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer for soft powder blue nails, Bit of Sunshine Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer for a pastel yellow, or Sweetiekins Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer for a girly shimmering pastel pink.
Clean Girl Mani
The naked manicure has been all the rage on social media, this trendy look will continue to be popular throughout summer! The clean girl manicure consists of clean-looking cuticles and smooth, healthy-looking nails. To recreate this trend this summer, we recommend starting with Melt Away Cuticle Exfoliator and our Signature Glass Cuticle Cuticle Pusher to help gently remove dry, overgrown cuticles. Next, file nails with our Signature Glass Nail File to help shape your nails before applying one coat of award-winning Horse Power Nail Rescue Basecoat for an effortlessly chic clean girl mani!

This strengthening and restoring basecoat helps protect both healthy and brittle nails against future damage and nail breakage. This basecoat can be worn on its own for a neutral manicure or can be layered under your favourite Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer hue to add extra protection to your nails.
How Does Horse Power Work?
Horse Power is formulated with powerful, skincare-inspired ingredients such as Horsetail Extract, Biotin, Vitamin B, and Calcium!

Pamper Your Pout with Our LIPPY Lip Treatment Duo!
by Sigrun Hjartardottir
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.

How to Get Perfectly Manicured Cuticles Without Going to the Nail Salon

on Feb 14 2024
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! This must-have nail treatment helps gently remove dry, overgrown cuticles while eliminating the need to clip or trim. 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.
