I love Butter London’s P.D. Quick Dry Conditioning Drops. This innovative product is a game changer for my home manicures and pedicures. This is the type of product I will buy on repeat. What it does is quick dry your nails while providing conditioning ingredients and protecting from smudges. You simply use one drop from the included dropper on each nail. It quickly spreads to cover the surface. If it gets on your skin it is fine. It does not harden or need to be removed. I will never again use that horrible aerosol spray with the toxic smell that we all know. The finish is clear and shiny. It feels nice on the cuticle and gives an overall just polished look. The brand is clean and cruelty free. I tend to like most of Butter London’s products, but this might be my favorite one yet.

Butter London’s Champagne Fizz Manicure Candle Intensive Nail and Cuticle Treatment Candle is a great gift idea. The candle smells wonderful and has a pretty look to it. The “wax” is made of Soybean and Coconut oils and the wick is 100% cotton. I appreciate this as it does not add toxins to the air. The holder has a spout to easily pour the oil out. I dipped my finger in to the melted oil and dabbed it on each cuticle for an easier way to apply. The oils are hot but didn’t burn right after blowing out the candle. I would be cautious on certain body areas but on my hands it felt lovely;)

your nails, with Butter London’s Mellow the Yellow nail brightening treatment. I prefer to do 3 coats with a clear quick dry top coat on top. It gives a pretty pink glow while remaining natural. My favorite thing about the product is that it is not just for a look. It is designed to actually help your nails get brighter, healthier, and stronger. I have tried a few polishes before that give a similar pink glow, but none of them provide ingredients to actually improve your nails. This polish has the lemon fruit extract built in, so while you’re beautifying your nails you’re helping them. The line is “10 free”. Which means no there is no formaldehyde and parabens, as well as many other toxins. It is cruelty- free. So mellow out your nails and your self 😉

I’m rolling into this month with a bunch of new finds. First is the Honey Banana sheet mask from TWOTSP. This Korean sheet mask uses Manuka Honey and Bananas to reduce bacterial growth and fight signs of aging. It hydrates, brightens, and balances. 


At night I’m caring for my under eye skin with Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair Eye Concentrate Matrix. It reduces the look of fine lines and leaves skin firmer and more nourished. I love that it’s lightweight yet effective.

I’m caring for my hair with Loreal’s new Everpure Sulfate Free Glossing pH balanced Shampoo and Conditioner. It leaves hair silky and shiny. The line is anti fade and UV filters to be gentle on color treated hair.

I love going over my dry hair with a few drops of Typology’s Repairing Hair Oil with Acai 5% + Hibiscus. It is a lightweight dry oil that controls and softens hair. This is the finishing touch your hair needs.

On to the body, I love Soap and Glory’s Magnificoco Drop In The Lotion Body Lotion. I love the smell and it absorbs quickly.

Lastly I’m using Sally Hansen’s Insta Dri X Peeps Collection in White. It dries so fast and only needs one coat.

Stay tuned for what I get into this April…

but when you’re in a rush and want salon looking nails, use Static Nails. They have the coolest press on nails I’ve seen. I have not tried them yet, but I will be getting the black ones with red underneath for Winter. For the Summer, I have been using their nail Liquid Glass Laquer in Coconut. It is designed to look shiny and strong like gel, and said to last 10+day. They last a solid 6 on me. Most polishes last 3. It is made with Antioxidants, Rosehips, Marula Oil, Balm Mint, and is non toxic (8 free). Coconut is the perfect sheer pink with a hint of white. So fake a salon visit with Static, you know you’re faking other things….

One Night Stand, Damn I Hot, $Maker, are just a few of my favorite polishes from Cheeky Monkey Cosmetics. The line is free of the 9 worst chemicals found in most nail products. The polish is high quality and lasting. The line touts it is for a “responsible woman who takes charge of her life. She can do just about anything. She aspires to be the best ‘her’ she can be.” If that’s you, head over to their website and find your color match. So get the toxins out of your nail care with cheeky monkey, and while you’re at it – remove those toxic people to….
