In a bid to consciously limit the toxins I put in and on my body...nail varnish was a product I had shelved until just recently. Having spotted the product Butter in a few health food / beauty shops I thought I ought to give it a go. Firstly, it's called Butter.......that's enough to entice me in!! The packaging is a classic style and it has London emblazoned on the front which adds a bit of chic!! So, having selected my colour (the colour you see through the glass is a good guide, as opposed to some bottles of nail varnish that look nothing like the colour you thought you'd purchased) I skipped on home to try and test it and here's my run down.....
Application - It glides on pretty well (there's always a bit of a technique in the speed at which you apply the nail varnish). I would recommend two coats.
Dry - It only takes a minute or so to dry.
Negative - Still smells pretty strong which begs the question 'what else is in there, or is being used instead of the nasty 3!??!' It also lasts only 2-3 days before it chips. Although it lasts considerably longer on the toe nails.
Verdict - Because it's good to feel the girly goddess and apply a coat of paint now and again it certainly gets my vote. What's in a name? Plenty as far as I'm concerned (Butter wins the day any day of the week). For the girly factor and to be somewhat environmentally / humankind friendly i'm sold....and will be collecting some more colours!!
