Several weeks ago, I had a
weird rash around my eyes...
after visiting my Dermatologist,
it was diagnosed as contact dermatitis.
The culprit: my manicure.
An allergic reaction to all the toxins
contained in nail polish...i.e., formaldehyde, toluene
and phthalates.
I've now found a new brand that
is free of all of these harmful toxins...butter!
This eco friendly line has a huge array of
fun designer colors and quirky names
fun designer colors and quirky names
like "come to bed red" and "frilly knickers".
This fall, butter will be paying homage to
Alexander McQueen...

I'm happy to report that my

I'm happy to report that my
weird rash has cleared.
Thanks for making me better, butter!
Good heavens - so glad the rashed has cleared!
ReplyDeleteThis is why I never colour my fingernails, but I do tend to get my toes done. Indeed, I do treat myself to a manicure, but a colour-free one - blame it on my upbringing;-)
Wow sorry about the rash but thanks for letting is know about this. So glad it's cleared and Butter looks delish.
ReplyDeleteMy skin is so sensitive, and my girls have occasionally complained about this pesky rash around the eyes, so we better get Buttah!
ReplyDeleteBest,

I love the colors they have, I've always said that it's stuff added that doesn't need to be in products that we use. I'm glad that you figured out what this issue was.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to try Butter for so long, they have great colors and look so nice too!! Great to know about the allergy bit :)
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better xoxo
I love this! Butter for the nails. The non-toxic-freak that I am , I must (MUST!) get a range from this brand!! Is it available world wide?
ReplyDeleteGlad your rash cleared. x

Hmmm, i need some new nail-polish! Why not choose an unusual color - nails can be a perfect accessoire ;) Thanks for coming! Sleep - awww, how i LOVE to sleep in at weekends!
ReplyDeleteGreat colors and it is wonderful to know that there is a product like butter out there. What a way to learn, that must have been an annoying rash to have around your pretty eyes,Kathysue
ReplyDeleteI am VERY allergic to nail polish, so i just may try this one!
ReplyDeleteGreat colors and eco friendly .... that's great.
ReplyDeleteWill have to look for it.
Thanks
Good to know! Nail polish really freaks me out for the reasons you stated. Butter looks like an awesome alternative.
ReplyDeleteI'm sending this on to my daughter, the spa queen. She tells me there is a new shellac-like polish which must be applied by a salon, stays on for 2-3 weeks, no chips, then must be removed at the salon. I love this Butter idea. xx's Sue
ReplyDeleteha! I love this post, Sue. I was fulling expecting to see something about toast or croissants... this is a pretty good runner up. Glad to know about the hot new line for McQueen!
ReplyDeleteI love Butter. I have 6 colors, and a kit, and I like them all. Sorry to hear about the rash, but you will do much better without the toxic chemicals (which were the reason I switched). Have a great Labor Day weekend.
ReplyDeleteGosh, so sorry about the rash, but at least it's cleared up and they figure out the culprit. I've been wanting to try Butter and I'm loving those last 4 McQueen inspired colors. Some new nail polish might be in my future. :o)
ReplyDeleteWow, who'd have thought? The nailpolish sounds and looks great. Love the names :)
ReplyDeletesounds like a nightmare - glad you got it sorted out! and what a cool range of colours these guys have.
ReplyDeleteGlad you were able to figure out the cause! I've always hated the smell/toxins of nail polish and will definitely look for Butter! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is good to know. I'm a contact wearer too and just may need this info some day. Aren't allergies just the weirdest thing? I have been using this one meication for "centuries" and all of a sudden I have become exceedingly allergic to it!!!!
ReplyDeleteinteresting about your contact lens issue...I have been wanting to try this line but have yet to do so. Colors look great and it is supposed to be top of the line. More polishes are trying to get these evil ingredients out of their products. Have a great week!!
ReplyDeleteive never heard of that but it sounds awesome! and i love the colors in the alexander mcqueen line. so pretty!
ReplyDeletethese are cute!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the name! Butter! :D
awww!

ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! Butter is better :)
ReplyDeleteGreat tip! Love all the colors, gorgeus!
ReplyDeleteNon- toxic products must be the future in all areas! Glad your rash is gone!

LLLOOOOVVVEEE these! So many fab colors! I finally found that sweet pastel minty green i have been looking for forever, and I can't wait to have it painted on!
ReplyDeleteA bit of Butter makes everything better. Pretty colours too!
ReplyDeletethat is such a pretty little brand!! i can't believe that happened!
ReplyDeleteI have just one of these and love it - these colours are magic.. Mine is quite tame! Kellie x
ReplyDeleteThis is a great public service announcement! I must admit to being very low key in the mani/pedi realm....ever since my toe was numb for 4 months after getting a pedicure, I have been wary of going to nail places! Glad your mystery rash was diagnosed and fixed.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a case of something great coming from something bad. I'm loving your buttah!!!

Lovely series and eco friendly is aways a great bonus! Love them :)
ReplyDeleteIt is the BEST! And it is actually a Seattle company behind the line.
ReplyDeleteThis past weekend my lovely friend Kendra came over w. her family from Portland to hang out. I had missed her birthday and had a little bag prepared. And among all things were of course -- Butter nail polish!
It stays on for a long time.
Love to you my friend.
Mon
nail polish is so bad for you and i love that there are better option out there for all of us!
ReplyDeleteisnt' that interesting that toxins in nail polish would present itself in your eyes? it reminds me of that seinfeld where jerry found that wierd rash cream in that girl's medicine cabinet he was dating, and it was a cream for her cat.... lol....
ReplyDeletethese colours are so cute, much cuter anyways than OPI.....
