I Found Out Every London Girl's Secret to Perfect Nails, and I'm Spilling
When you think of London, you probably think of the royal family, Big Ben, fish and chips, or even double-decker buses. But what about nail polish? It might not be the first thing that comes to mind, but it should definitely be on your radar, particularly when Butter London has some of the best nail polish colors of any nail polish brand.
Inspired by the streets of London, these colors come alive on your fingertips. With names like Smashing and Bang On!, it’s hard not to feel charmed by the brand. Plus, they're nontoxic, which means you can feel better about wearing them. I have plenty of go-to colors that I’m always putting on my nails, and I took the liberty of finding the best nail inspiration so you can actually envision what the color might look like on your own tips. Cheers to your next manicure, and keep scrolling for more.
