Bella Bargain: Free Butter London Nail Polish
If you're concerned about carcinogens in nail polish, you'll be excited about this news. From now until May 15, when you turn in three polishes that contain formaldehyde, toluene, or DBP, you'll receive a Butter London "three-free" polish in exchange — no strings attached. Butter London is one of many companies that have ditched those three chemicals, and their colors are always on-trend.
Bella Brand: Butter London
I'm usually not convinced that fancy nail polish is much better than drugstore polish, but some brands provide an incentive to spend a few dollars more. Butter London is one of them. Although it's based in Seattle, the nail-care brand is an Anglophile's dream, offering a thoroughly British experience.

She's a working model, a law student (who's on a break), a television presenter with OBE-TV, and the organizer of a pageant called Miss Plus Africa.
How To Strengthen Your Nails
With my nail polish collection rapidly growing, I've been switching polish colors as often as possible — which, of course, causes problems with my nails. So I thought it would be a good idea to give you some tips on how to protect your nails from damage, as well as help fix already-damaged ones. Vertical ridges, white marks, spots, peeling and brittleness are normal signs of neglected nails.
