Butter London Colour Clash Collection

 I thought I would include a few more bright shades to brighten up your days before the month of September completely comes to an end and Autumn well and truly arrives.

Butter Londons Colour Clash Collection* is made up of Giddy Keeper- a creamy dark shade of Blue that carries ever such a slight shimmer to it, Cotton Buds- a fabulous true White shade, Cake Hole- a bright Pink, Wellies- a lovely Lime Green, Silly Billy- a bright shade of Orange and Pimms- a very true sunshine Yellow. All possibly a little bright for my personal day to day wear, my favourite of the bunch is definitely Cotton Buds. There's no doubt that White nails are completely love or hate, but I personally love them and have been wearing this shade non stop since it arrived. 

A clean bright White and very Tom Ford, it's super opaque and not only do I find it to be a fabulous shade to wear day to day, it also works perfectly as a base for any other polish, to brighten and in some cases, completely change the look of the polish. It's become my current favourite polish and if you're after a White I highly recommend Cotton Buds.

I have found that Butter London polishes are all really great formulas and the Colour Clash Collection is no different. Drying in a reasonably quick time and only ever a couple of coats needed, they are always lovely additions to my collection and if you're into brights then I definitely recommend this collection.

Costing £12 each, Butter London polishes and the Colour Clash Collection are available to buy on the Butter online store and in Boots, Harvey Nichols, Look Fantastic and HQ Hair.   

Though brights are set to be huge on nails this Autumn, I'm not sure whether I could personally rock the bright bold hues at that time of year. What do you think? Can you?

Butter London Cuticle Miracle Kit

My nails always struggled when it came to growth, but after giving them lots of TLC over the last couple of years they seem to have gained a lot of strength and now fortunately, can grow nicely to a pleasant length without breaking or splitting. Having nice nails does make such a difference and with products like these Butter London Cuticle Oil and Eliminators*, your cuticle area can look super neat and healthy.

Since studying Beauty Therapy, I've always been a little obsessive over cuticles. I really don't like them and try my very best to banish them by nipping at them on a weekly basis, but whilst they are there I do like the area to look neat and tidy. 

Up until now, I have been using my OPI Avoplex Cuticle Oil, which worked a dream but unfortunately the pipet split and consequently the product all spilt in my bag. 

This Butter London Cuticle Oil is a definite match, possibly even slightly better. It keeps my cuticle area deeply nourished and looking lovely. I love to apply cuticle oil before bed or after I have painted my nails, it adds a lovely amount of moisture and keeps them from getting dry.   

 This vitamin enriched oil smells absolutely delicious, with the holiday scent of Coconut and Pineapple which lingers beautifully. I love that has a brush applicator, as it makes application super easy and trouble free.

The Butter London Melt Away Cuticle Eliminator is aimed to soften and gradually reduce your cuticle area if used weekly, although for those that are addicted to nipping at your cuticles as I am, it works an absolute dream at softening the existing cuticle perfectly to make pushing back, nipping and removal super easy and gentle. You can of course nip and push back your cuticle without any product, but I highly recommend using a softener such as this one as not only do you achieve a much neater finish but it really is so much easier to do. 

I use this a few minutes before I am going to nip away my cuticles, to give it time to really sink in nicely. Like the Handbag Holiday Cuticle Oil, this also has a brush applicator which makes it a lot easier. The softener I used previously had a pump like feature, which although I used it to the end, it was a pain and I wasted quite a lot of product. 

This unfortunately doesn't have a beautiful scent like the oil does, it's pretty much fragrance free but realistically who needs a scented cuticle softener?

I'm really impressed with these two products and now really want to try the Butter London pedicure products. 

These two 17.5ml bottles came as apart of the Cuticle Miracle Kit which is available here on Amazon for £18.07 which is a fab deal as individual they retail for £15.
