I am on emergency nail treatment binge. I bought a kit from butter LONDON, and it arrived on Friday. I immediately began using the Cuticle Eliminator, which softens your cuticles until they stop growing like weeds on your fingers. According to butter, it trains them to behave.
And then I applied the Horse Power Fertilizer (this nail rejuvenator is one of their ALL TIME favourite products),
This product is 3 Free, and uses an herbal ingredient called ‘Horsetail’ to strengthen and repair nails. When used properly, the results are really quite staggering! Apply one coat every day for 7 days, then remove and begin again. Use for one month.
I love the fact that the products are non-toxic, but I also love the fact that after three days my nails are already longer and not chipping. Hang on until I complete the week, and I will report more. So far, so good. Better than good.

Hi, and thank you for the great review. I'm Nonie Creme, Creative Director and product creator here at butter LONDON. Horse Power is great stuff, and I thought you may want to know a bit more about it.
Most strengtheners use Formaldehyde as their active ingredient. It is highly carcinogenic, and has NO place in consumer goods. Unfortunately, the FDA in this country does not even MONITOR it's use in beauty products, despite it being a banned toxin in Europe! butter LONDON finds that shocking. We seek to create products that produce fabulous results that are safe to use, based on European formulations, (which are heavily regulated and must pass stringent safety standards).
Horse Power contains Horsetail, an herb high in silica, which is proven to grow nails and repair the nail structure from within. With continued use, you will cultivate the nails you've always wanted. After one month, (two for post-acrylic nails), you should be able to cut back your usage to an "as needed" basis. This means you may cut back to just using it as a base coat, or perhaps once or twice a week for nail maintenance.
Please note that butter LONDON nail products do NOT contain Formaldehyde, Toluene, or DBP. Our Hand & Nail Cremes do NOT contain Parabens.
We believe in colour, not carcinogens.
