I had high hopes for these Scrubbers by +butter LONDON . Scrubbers, our 2-in-1 wipes, are designed to strip away yesterday’s mani and prep your nails for your next bespoke nail creation. All with one little wipe. I was test driving the new shades that I purchased at +Nordstrom +Westfield Valley Fair and thought this would be the perfect way to test drive the remover from my GWP, too. Instantly I was impressed with the thickness of the pad; I knew it would be able to handle the same spot rubbing over the nail, break down a variety of lacquers. It did a great job of removing non-glitter formulas, however it did not stay moist enough to break down all 10 non-glittered nails. I had to add some of my own remover to the pad so I could finish the last 3. I feel it's more realistic to use 1  Scrubbers  per hand, and at 10 pads for $10, this could get expensive, quickly. Do I recommend them? Absolutely! They are perfect as an on-the-go remover o...

I was super excited to try this! Not only because it is a 100 % Biodegradable wipe, because it is soy based , non -toxic , not carcinogenic a nd contains 4 ingredients: Methyl Soyate, Dimethyl Adipate, Dimethyl Gluterate, Cymbopogon Flexuosus   Oil - more commonly known as Lemongrass oil.    Priti, a word in Sanskrit with several meanings such as: out of satisfaction, with love and pleasurable sensation. From one of my BeautyBox5 beauty sample subscription boxes, it came in a foil packet, towelette style - like a bbq wipe! BB5 is selling a 10 pack for $10 but I do not see the wipes on PritiNYC's own website. *shrugs*

I was attending the Nordstrom Spring Trend Show March 31st and came across a tiny area of nail polishes where my eye caught a set by butterLONDON. Purchase the Backstage Basics box of Nail Foundation, Hardwear, Powder Room Remover and File then add your favourite colour and the set is $39.  This is a phenomenal deal as you're getting the polish for free: The included three products are valued at $39 before you factor the file and the full size colour that you are going to choose.  In need of a new base and top coat, I take the plunge and try something new.

How about this little tip Deborah Lippmann shared with me:  How to easily and effortlessly remove glitter nail polish. I had the pleasure of meeting Deborah Lippmann at a Nordstrom Trend Show a few years ago and took the opportunity to asked her the secret to removing glitter nailpolish. The process she described was so simple, I didn't believe her. Until I put it to the test and could not believe how fast it works; no more scrubbing and scrubbing and finally filing off the rest of the glitter bits. You know what I'm talking about.
