What is P.D. Quick Dry?

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.
No Water Necessary!
The first product that is a must-have for manicures on the go is Super Clean!

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. Super Clean helps avoid the expansion of your nails, helping to prevent chips in your salon-worthy mani!

Give your nails the TLC they crave while adding a pop of colour with Jelly Preserve! 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. Enriched with skin-pampering ingredients, Jelly Preserve features a skincare-infused formula to help strengthen the look of nails while leaving behind an on-trend jelly hue. Jelly Preserve is available in four delicious-looking shades: Strawberry Rhubarb, a sheer pink, Victoria Plum, a sheer purple, Orange Marmalade, a sheer orange, and Bramley Apple, a sheer teal.
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.

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!

Our Signature Nail Clippers help trim your nails with ultimate precision with a durable, easy-to-clean stainless steel curved edge for manicure maintenance.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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

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.

Ho-Ho-Holiday Nail Art: Try This Easy DIY Santa Hat Manicure This Season
by Sigrun Hjartardottir
on Dec 11 2023
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!

Extending the life of our manicure is something that we all strive to do, especially when we do our nails at home!

Four Scary Nail Care Mistakes to Beware of
by Sigrun Hjartardottir
on Oct 20 2023
If you have trouble giving yourself a salon-worthy manicure from home, you may be making some common nail care mistakes! Have no fear—this week in the blog, we are going through four popular nail care mistakes to beware of, as well as recommendations on how to fix them so you can have a flawless-looking mani in no time!
Cutting Cuticles
If you are giving yourself a manicure at home, we recommend you don’t cut your cuticles! Clipping your cuticles can do more harm than good and can leave your skin more prone to irritation. Instead of clipping, try Melt Away! This Cuticle Exfoliator gently removes dry, overgrown cuticles—no cutting required! Formulated with plant-based conditioning ingredients that help soften and gently exfoliate cuticles, Melt Away helps remove overgrown cuticles in no time!
Skipping a Base Coat or Top Coat
When doing your nails, it is important that you are properly prepping and finishing your manicure. Skipping a base coat can lead to unwanted breaking or chipping, and skipping a top coat can lead to your nail polish chipping. To help avoid these care issues, we recommend starting your manicure with Horse Power Nail Rescue Basecoat to help protect both healthy and brittle nails against future damage and potential damage. After applying your nail lacquer, we recommend finishing off your mani with Hardwear Shine UV Topcoat to help extend the life of your mani with an ultra-glossy finish.
Not Moisturizing Your Cuticles
Your nails and cuticles need moisture to help strengthen the look of nails. If your nails and cuticles are not hydrated, it could lead to your nails chipping, peeling, or breaking. To help prevent this issue, we recommend applying Quick Slip Cuticle Oil throughout the day to help protect, replenish, and strengthen the look of cuticles. To take your cuticle care to the next level, pair Quick Slip with QuickFix Moisturizing Cuticle Balm as an overnight treatment to help lock in moisture.
Applying Thick Coats of Nail Lacquer
The last nail care mistake to beware of is applying your nail lacquer in super thick layers! When applying your favourite Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer, it is important to try to evenly distribute the lacquer to help keep it from getting goopy. A good technique is scaping the excess nail lacquer off the brush back into the bottle before applying it onto the nail. Another tip is to allow the nail lacquer to dry between layers to help it apply more evenly, which can help avoid any early chipping or smudging.
