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!

How to Help Extend the Life of Your Manicures

by Sigrun Hjartardottir on Nov 06 2023
Extending the life of our manicure is something that we all strive to do, especially when we do our nails at home! Using a nail primer or a base coat is a step that shouldn’t be skipped as they can help improve the look of nails and help prevent nail lacquer from chipping. This week in the blog, we are going through our favourite nail primer, base coat, and nail treatment products so you can help extend the life of your mani! Horse Power Nail Rescue Basecoat The first base coat we recommend is our bestselling Horse Power! This award-winning Nail Rescue Basecoat helps transform, restore, and rescue damaged nails.

Four Scary Nail Care Mistakes to Beware of - butter LONDON

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.

4 Ways to Use the Bestselling Mellow the Yellow

by Sigrun Hjartardottir on Jun 26 2023
Our Mellow The Yellow Nail Brightening Treatment is a bestseller for a reason! We love the benefits of this nail lacquer as it helps conceal any yellow on the nails while also leaving behind a pearlescent white colour. While Mellow The Yellow works great for a nail treatment, this versatile colour is also perfect for different trendy nail designs. To see the 4 ways we used Mellow The Yellow, keep on reading! The Go-To Mellow The Yellow Application Mellow The Yellow is best known for its ability to help brighten the look of yellowing nails. The opalescent Nail Brightening Treatment gently exfoliates dry, damaged nails to not only conceal the yellow upon application, but it also targets the root of the problem. Formulated with Lemon Fruit Extract, Vitamin E and Red Algae, this skin-conditioning treatment leaves nails brighter, smoother, and more renewed. Use 2-3 coats of Mellow The Yellow by itself to give nails a shimmery opalescent pearly white colour and also treat the nails at the same time! A Minimalist Mellow Mani Another way you can use Mellow The Yellow is a shimmery French manicure! We love that the French manicure trend is coming back but in a new, trendy way. Instead of using a traditional sheer/nude base coat for your manicure, try using Mellow The Yellow instead! Begin by applying one to two coats of Mellow the Yellow as your base coat. Next, using Cotton Buds Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer and our Signature Nail Art Tools, draw a thin line on the tips of each nail with the stippling brush. Clean up any lacquer that may have gotten ‘outside the lines’ with the cleanup brush before sealing in your mani with Hardwear Shine UV Top Coat. A Very Mellow Mani Another way that we love to use Mellow the Yellow is to create a simple yet chic “less is more” manicure! To achieve this manicure, begin by choosing a neutral or a light pink nail colour. We love using our Sheer Wisdom Nail Tinted Moisturizers, Sandy Bum Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer, or Mums the Word Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer as a neutral base. Once the base colour is on, apply one to two coats of Mellow The Yellow Nail Brightening Treatment to add an opalescent shimmer to your barely-there mani. Top if off with Hardwear Shine UV Topcoat to add a high shine finish to complete your simple yet shimmery mani! Must-Have Mellow Nail Art Last but not least, we have show-stopping nail art featuring Mellow the Yellow! Begin by applying 2 coats of High Street Crème Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer on the thumb, middle finger, and pinky. On your pointer finger and ring finger, apply 2 coats of Mellow The Yellow to give nails a pearly colour. Next, using our stippling brush and High Street Crème, coat only the tip of your pointer finger for a French tip. On your ring finger with our dotting brush, use shade Trout Pout Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer and Pop Orange Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer to draw 5 dots in a circle to mimic a flower. Draw 2 flowers with Trout Pout and 2 flowers with Pop Orange on the tip of the ring finger. Let dry. To complete your flowers, use Waterloo Blue Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquer with the dotting brush and add a blue dot at the center of each flower. Seal in this cheeky manicure with our Hardwear Shine UV Topcoat.   To see more bestselling Tinted Nail Treatments, or other Patent Shine 10X Nail Lacquers, head to butterlondon.com

Our Pedicure Must-Haves for Summer

by Sigrun Hjartardottir on Jun 02 2023
Summer is upon us, which means that frequent pedicures are a top priority for all the nail lovers of the world! This week in the blog, we are going to go through how to get your nails in shape, as well as give some inspo for the perfect summer pedi colour! Getting Our Nails in Shape The first step for our summer ready pedicure is getting our nails trimmed and shaped! Start with our Signature Nail Clippers to clip nails to your desired shape. After trimming nails, file any rough edges with our Signature Glass Nail File to help prevent breakage and splitting. Before moving onto cuticles, apply our Melt Away Cuticle Exfoliator to magically melt away dead or dry skin before pushing excess cuticles back with the Signature Glass Cuticle Pusher. Baby Soft Soles Once nails are trimmed and prepped, it’s time to focus on the feet! Start with our Signature Glass Pedicure Foot File & Callus Remover Tool to gently slough away dead, rough skin for healthier-looking feet by using the textures side to remove calluses and the smooth side to give your heels a velvet-like finish. Next, gently exfoliate feet with So Buff Hand and Foot Polish with Glycolic Acid to help promote baby soft soles and feet that appear brighter, smoother and more renewed. Prep for Lacquer! Now that the feet are exfoliated and smooth, it’s time for nail lacquer! Begin with a Nail Scrubber 2-in-1 Wipe to remove any nail lacquer and prep and condition nails. Once nails are clean, apply one coat of our fan-favorite Horse Power Nail Rescue Basecoat to act as a protective primer for your nails. Fun Colours for Summer Once your nails are prepped thanks to the You're So Pedi kit, it's time to add some colour. The best part of a new season is choosing new nail lacquers! We love wearing bright and fun colours during the warm summer season.

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.
